Application examples

Programming the timer

Nano PLCs with 16 and 24 I/O have

16 realtime clocks, for which parameters can be defined. They enable the user to control
outputs directly (to open and close electrical circuits) or
to perform operations on a user program according
to the time (month, day, hour and minute). The Nano PLC provides various programming
possibilities, such as time references which can be modified via the operator console
or calculated by the program, etc. The Nano PLC also enables events to be
date-stamped and time calculations to be performed by the program. The Nano PLC
is suitable for control systems managing lighting, heating or sprinkler systems.

Analog I/O

TSX AEN... and TSX ASN... modules process 1 analog input and 1 analog output re
spectively. They are divided into three ranges: 4/20 mA, 0/10 V and -10/+10 V.
The input module is connected to the PLC 24 V fast counter input which is configured
in frequency mode.
The output module uses the pulse width modulation transistor output.
The Nano PLC is suitable for simple process control applications (level, temperature,
flow rate control, etc) for speed controllers or servo-valves.

Fast processing applications

The Nano PLCs include as standard certain functions which are simple to use, and can
be equally adapted for control systems which require counting capacity or call for short
response times:
■ Latching, filtering of 24 V DC inputs with user definable parameters (100 µs; 3 ms or
12 ms).
■ Fast counter (10 kHz max) up/down counter (1 kHz max) with 2 reflex outputs which
are controlled directly by the counter function (counting capability 65535 points).

Pulse outputs

With the PWM and PULSE software functions, the first output from the Nano PLC
can be used as:
■ Pulse width modulation output in a predefined frequency (19 kHz to 4.9 kHz) for
applications with light or sound intensity control (dimmer function).
■ Pulse generator output (19 kHz to 4.9 kHz) for control of stepper motors.
When using these functions, it is necessary to use the transistor output models
(which have an unlimited number of operations).

Communication examples

Micro

Uni-Telway communication

The Nano PLC can communicate with other Uni-Telway devices via its
terminal port: speed controller, operator terminals, compact or modular programmable
controllers.

The capacity of the Nano to transmit and receive messages makes it easy to integrate in
distributed architectures. For example in slave mode the Nano can take the initiative in
communication and send updated variables to the master (online event processing).

Modbus communication

The Nano PLC has a RS 485 serial communication port which supports the Modbus
protocol. It can process the following requests:
■ read/write bits and words;
■ read the PLC status;
■ set to RUN or STOP;
■ initialize the PLC;
Up to 27 Nano PLCs can be linked together over a distance of up to 200 m at user-
definable speeds of 1200 to 19200 bauds.

ASCII communication

Strich-
code- The capacity to transmit and receive characters enables the Nano PLC to communicate
leser
with a large number of ASCII devices, such as PCs (directly or via modem), printers,
barcode readers, etc.
The speed and format of the frames are configurable.
Connection to the Nano PLC terminal port is via a RS232/485 converter cable powered
by the PLC.

Modem communication (Modbus protocol)

A PLC with a Modbus master module interrogates Nano PLCs over the remotely
switched network.
