I2C-FRTC Expansion Module

I2C-FRTC Expansion Module

The Nano-10 PLC and the FMD series PLCs (with firmware r76 or later) supports the Inter-Integrated Circuit – IIC, also commonly known by the acronym I2C or I2C bus. Please refer to the I2C specifications of your device for detailed explanation of the I2C protocol.  The PLCs only supports the I2C as a master and operates at 100KHz, which allows it to connect to many off-the-shelve components such as GPS, accelerometers, thermometer, analog I/O chips, etc. The PLC can connect to multiple I2C slaves in a multi-drop I2C bus, which greatly expands its capability. The built-in TBASIC commands also greatly simplify the I2C communication with the slave devices. 

However, you can only use the I2C communication capability provided your PLC meets all the following conditions:  
1) You have installed the I2C-FRTC interface module
2) You have upgraded your I-TRiLOGI software to version 6.40 or later.
3) The PLC firmware is >= r76 for Nano 10
4) The PLC firmware is >= r74 for FMD Series
