Real-time based programming
Nano PLCs with 16 or 24 I/O integrate 16 user-definable
real-time clocks which can be used to :
iControl the outputs directly (opening and closing electrical
circuits) or act on the user program according to the time
(month, day, hour and minute).
iProgram time setpoints which can be modified via an
operator panel or calculated by the program.
iProgram event time-stamping or perform time
calculations.
Analogue I/O
The Nano PLC is designed for simple process control
applications (level, temperature, flow rate control, etc) with
speed controller or servo-valve control.
TSX AEN/ASN modules are used with Nano PLCs to
process 1 analogue input and 1 analogue output respec-
tively :
iThe input module, 0/10 V - 10/+ 10 V or 4/20 mA is
connected to the a 24 V input %I0.0 of the PLC and is
configured in frequency meter mode.
iThe output module, 0/10 V - 10/+ 10 V or 4/20 mA uses
the pulse width modulation transistor output %Q0.0.
Analogue processing is also possible using three
TSX 07 32/33 ii28 bases which consist of 1 analogue
input 0-10 V.
High-speed processing applications
On a base PLC or peer PLC, each of the first 6 inputs (%I0.0
to %I0.5) can be assigned to the latching function after
configuration. This function is used to take account of input
pulses with short durations, 100 µs minimum.
Nano PLCs include standard functions which are easy to
set up and can be used for adaptation to control systems
requiring counting capacity or short response times :
iFast counter (maximum frequency 10 kHz)
iFast up/down counter (maximum frequency 1 kHz)
iFrequency meter (maximum frequency 10 kHz)
Sensors which are used on the up/down counter inputs
(%I0.0 and %I0.3) must have solid state outputs.
2 reflex outputs (%Q0.1 and %Q0.2) are controlled directly
by the fast counter (without waiting for outputs to be
updated at the end of the scan) according to a matrix
predefined during configuration.
Pulse outputs
After configuration, the first output %Q0.0 (if it is a transistor
output) of the Nano PLC can be used with :
iThe PWM software function, as a pulse width modulation
output at a predefined frequency of up to 4.9 kHz
designed for use in applications with light or sound
intensity control (dimmer function).
iThe PULSE software function, as a pulse generator
output of up to 4.9 kHz designed for use for controlling
stepper motors.
