At the moment, our company is actively developing a microprocessor complex consisting of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and I/O modules.

The structure of the complex is modular, which allows organizing remote collection and processing of information.

The communication between the PLC and the I/O modules is organized on the digital deterministic bus CAN (protocol CANOpen), which allows connecting up to 127 I / O modules in one bus with the PLC.

Such a solution allows you to place remote I/O modules in close proximity to the technological platform and equipment, and the PLC itself in a control room or operator room.

The PLC is built on the basis of a microcontroller manufactured by BECK IPC (Germany).

Brief technical characteristics of the PLC

Central processor: SC186-EX 96MHz
Memory capacity of RAM: 8 Mb
Flash Memory Capacity: 8 Mb
Interfaces: 3 x RS232/485, 1 x Ethernet 10/100BaseT, 2 x CAN 2.0
USB interface: USB1.1 host or device
Ambient temperature: -25 .. + 60 ° C

I/O Modules

• Digital input module, 16-channel
• Discrete signals output module, 16-channel
• Analog input signal input module 0 / 4-20 mA, 0-10V, 8-channel
• Analog input signal input module 0 / 4-20 mA, 0-10V, 8-channel
• The module of input of signals of thermoresistance, 8 channel

 The programming environment

As the programming environment of the PLC, the software complex CoDeSys v2.3 is used by 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH, which supports programming languages IEC 61131-3-ST, FBD, SFC, LD, IL.

The CoDeSys complex is distributed free of charge, which allows the Customer to save substantially on the purchase of the PLC software tool.
