BSA will see the PLC modules as a named tree and the diagrams send/receive messages using those names as addresses. You will have the option to design and/or detect a tree. easyIPC contains a config system allowing new, unknow modules to be reported and the user can then assign that module to a named position…
This just a mock-up of an actual module assembled from 7 IO modules using the later design. Size is just illustrative as I play around with ideas. I am waiting on project boxes and will adjust everuthing to that. So far I have only draftet connectors as 5P headers. I am thinking about doing CAN…
Sadly the headers occupy ca 10mm of 25mm, so to get Ethernet RJ45 fixed I needed 35mm width on the modules. The MCU module will be fine, but having two IO modules will require more space. 10mm extra is not the end of the world, but the design draft is also 4 PCB’s per module,…
I was recently asked to create a PLC in the form of a cable and the resulted draft is quite awesome. The design size I decided on was 90 mm x 25mm x 25mm. The reason for the 90 mm is tto have a fit for standard PLC boxes. 25 x 25 is a reasonable…
