Z-PC Line mixed I/O modules for high-performance analog and digital signals support communication protocols Mod-
BUS TCP-IP and ModBUS RTU on bus / terminal and an extended range for voltage input up to 30 V. These modules
can benefit from a 16-bit ADC converter with configurable acquisition speed from 5 to 300 ms. They also offer com-
ETHERNET plete configurability from a web server compatible with browsers that support Html5.
The R-Series I/O modules are designed for flexible cabling, reduced installation space, applications high-density I/O
I/O and embedded Ethernet networking. They can be connected in Ethernet daisy chain mode with fault-bypass to ensure
Ethernet connection even in the event of failure of a module in the chain and ensure the function “ModBUS
Passthrough”, thanks to the which the module can divert to RS485 the requests coming from Modbus TCP-IP behav-
ing, in fact, like a gateway.

CANopen Z-PC Line is a truly distributed I/O system based on IEC 61131 programming that does not require the use of
couplers, controllers or repeaters for each communication line. All modules have an interface CAN communication with
speeds up to 1 Mbps and are therefore ideal for acquiring and controlling system signals on plants and machines where
the distance between the signals plays a fundamental role.
CANopen Z-PC Line modules can be integrated with configurators and master controllers / network managers of third
I/O parties, even on existing machines and installations. The advantage of not needing an end-of-line coupler significantly
reduces the cost factor for small to medium installations CANopen.

MULTIFUNCTION CONTROLLERS - OVERVIEW
SENECA high connectivity multifunction controllers and RTUs (Z-TWS11, Z-TWS4, Z-PASS2-S, S6001- RTU) combine PLC tasks based on
Straton IEC 61131-1 softLPLC platform with web server, datalogger, remote control, remote assistance and energy management features (in
compliance with IEC 60870-101/104, IEC 61850 protocols).
The controllers can be used with different architectures and configurations depending on the complexity of the system and the required
hardware requirements. SENECA also provides process controllers and flow computers for predefined scenarios such as pump control and
pressure boosting units (S6001-PC) and fluid control (Z-FLOWCOMPUTER).

SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE PLATFORM
SENECA software suite includes powerful system configurators, programming environments including libraries, acquisition tools, data, events and
alarms access and management. Z-NET-4, designed for the configuration of CPUs/controllers, I/O modules and ModBUS devices also enables the
management and creation of databases of machine / plant variables (IEC 61131, OPC, trend, log). Alternatively, for quick configuration of the I/O
modules is available the EASY SETUP plug&play software, also in Android app version.
The programming strategy of the SENECA controllers is based on the industry standard for IEC 61131 PLCs, in particular the Straton softPLC deve-
lopment environment which includes energy management libraries and protocols. Integrated in the Z-NET4 platform, Web Factory allows to develop
html/web supervision pages loaded in the CPUs, to to start with the overall project. Data Recorder and Trend Viewer are flexible tools for data ac-
quisition, trend visualization, events, variables, alarms and more. than managing logs and archives. With the OPC Server technology it is possible to
exchange real-time data with Scada and other Client applications.

DATA RECORDER
Data Recorder is an open, scalable and economical software recorder based on Windows PC, ideal for testing
sessions, laboratories, rehearsal rooms, monitoring of process measurements. Physical data acquisitions is
made through Z-PC Line distributed I/O modules (with or without CPU), and in general from any ModBUS RTU
slave standard device.
Communication between hardware and PC can be serial (RS232/RS485/ModBUS RTU) or Ethernet / Mod-
BUS TCP, on wired or wireless physical medium. The licensing is managed with USB key and covers a vis-
ualization range from 2 to unlimited channels. The normalized graphic representation can be set with nibs or
display (digit). The real-time display offers multiple selection options: groups of channels, visualization range,
screen scrolling direction.
