Supports Multiple Communication Protocols

  1. Compatible with emWare Inc's redball.gif (599 bytes) EMIT 3.0 which provides low cost INTERNET connectivity.
  2. Supports MODBUS protocols. PLC can act either as Modbus slave or Modbus Master.
  3. Supports OMRON PLC protocols. PLC can act either as slave or master.
  4. Supports  a proprietary set of ASCII based Host Link commands which allows Remote Programming or  monitoring by MODEM. Password protection allows device to be left unattended at remote location but accessible by dial-in modem.

All the above protocols are supported on the RS232 port or the RS485 port, enabling either point-to-point or multi-drop connections.  Special Network TRiLOGI programming software allows programmer to be stationed at just one PC and remotely program or monitor any  (theoretical max = 256)  PLCs connected to the RS485 multi-drop network, up to a distance of 4000 fts (1200m) and at baud rate of up to 38.4 Kbps!

TRiLOGI Version 4.1 also supports modem dial up which allows the controller boards to be programmed from anywhere in the world with a simple telephone line + Hayes compatible modem connection!

Analog I/O Expansion Modules

You can greatly expand the analog I/O capability of any T100MD or T100MX PLC using these I-7000 modules connected to the M-series RS485 port. Up to 31 units of I-7000 may be multi-dropped on the RS485 bus.

Auto-485
RS232-to-RS485 Converter

Download User's Guide

Note: The adapter requires a 9 to 24V DC power which means it can be powered by the same 12 to 24V power supply of the PLC

This RS232-to-RS485 converter supports both /RTS-controlled turnaround and automatic turnaround of the transceiver buffer.  The following are some possible applications:

  1. For programming an M-series PLC via its RS485 port so that its RS232 port can be freed for connecting to other devices such as HMI, SCADA, barcode scanner, smart card readers, etc.

  2. For linking as many as 240 PLC's via RS485 multi-drop bus to a single PC for local programming or remote programming / monitoring via the Internet.

  3. To transparently convert the PLC's RS485 port into an additional RS232 port for interfacing to third party RS232 devices. This is made possible by auto-turnaround features built into the adapter.

Introduction

The M-series super programmable controllers include both the T100MX family and the new T100MD-1616 is a revolutionary product in many ways. For the first time in industry a programmable controller with so much integrated power is available at a price much less than an ordinary, on/off only PLC.

But the truly outstanding feature of the M-series Super PLC is its unprecedented ease of use because of our latest, hybrid-language programming software - TRiLOGI Version 4. TRiLOGI merges industry's two most popular programming languages for control system - the ladder logic and the BASIC language into one single, seamless entity. You can now use the efficient, easy to understand ladder language for programming the ON/OFF logic, and use the full power of BASIC language for handling computationally intensive tasks such as data processing, analyzing string data from a bar-code reader or sending information to a host computer or even automatically page for a human operator! 32-bit integer arithmetics, one-dimensional arrays, IF THEN ELSE, WHILE, FOR-NEXT etc closely resemble the BASICA or QBASIC on PCs which many programmers are familiar with. The availability of many powerful built-in functions also make writing programs for its arsenal of hardware a breeze.

TRiLOGI runs on any compatible PC and features a built-in, standalone SIMULATOR. With the simulator, you can completely program and test your software on your desktop well before you start building the machine. Once you are satisfied with your simulated effort, simply hook up a low cost RS232 cable from your PC to M-series PLC and you can transfer all your hard work into the EEPROM in a few seconds. We know very well that debugging effort is always very time-consuming and a good debugging aid is invaluable for programmers. TRiLOGI's On-Line Monitoring mode lets you view the values of ALL the internal variables and the logic states of ALL the I/Os, timers and counters instantly and continuously in real time. Break points can be set in your software to pause the unit for you to examine the internal state of affairs. Logic states of I/Os and values of variables can also be modified from the host, giving immense flexibility to program development. Password protection scheme also prevent anyone from reading your program or making unauthorized changes to the software.

Examples:

1. Show Message on built-in LCD 2. Read Analog Input
SETLCD row, column, string

e.g.
SETLCD 1,1,"Hello World"
SETLCD 2,3,"Hour ="+STR$(TIME[1])

x = ADC(n)

n = 1 to 4 (the analog input channel #)
It returns a value ranging from 0 to 4096 which can be assigned to any variable x or used in expression.
e.g.     C = ADC(1)
     DM[I] = ADC(2)*1000/30

3. Set Analog Output 4. Set PWM Output
SETDAC n, x
       n
= 1 (D/A #1)
      x =
output value 0 to 4096

e.g.

      
SETDAC 1, (X+Y)/100
SETPWM n, x, freq
       n
= 1 or 2 (PWM Channel #)
       x
= output value 0-10000 (0-100%)
      
freq
= frequency in Hz
e.g.
     
SETPWM 1, 2550, 10000
5. Run Stepper Motor 6. Read Real Time Clock
STEPSPEED n, pps, acc
      
n
= 1 or 2 (Stepper controller channel)
    
pps = Maximum pulses per second
      
acc = acceleration steps to reach max pps.

STEPMOVE n, count, rly
       n = 1 or 2 (Stepper controller channel)
      
count = No. of steps to move
     
rly = the internal relay bit to turn ON after
               motion ended.

e.g.  STEPSPEED 1, 5000, 100
        STEPMOVE 1, 25000, 10

The PLC's Real-Time-Clock (RTC) derived date and time can be accessed via variables DATE[1] to DATE[3] and TIME[1] to TIME[3], respectively.

Year  - DATE[1]
Month- DATE[2]
Day  - DATE[3]
Day of Week - DATE[4]
Hour    - TIME[1]
Minutes  - TIME[2]
Seconds - TIME[3]

e.g.    IF DATE[4] > 5 THEN … :ENDIF
