Application |
- The PS416-COM-200 card provides serial, asynchronous
point-to-point communication with various data terminals.
Data terminals can include:PCs, host computers
|
Modem |
- Automation equipment
- Data acquisition systems (bar code readers, sensor systems, meters)
- Robots
|
Features |
- Space required: 1 slot
- Up to 8 cards can be inserted in the basic unit; note the
total current required
- Communication: half/full duplex (with RS 485 interface only half duplex)
- 1 interface per card
- The interface can be adapted with 5 different interface modules
- RS 232 C with control cables
- RS 232 C without control cables
- 20 mA (TTY) passive
- RS485
- RS422
- Even/odd/no parity
- Character format: 7/8-bit with 1/2 stop bits as well as 1 start bit
- Preselection of baud rate from 300 bit/s to 19.5 Kbit/s
through the software
- Communication secured with data flow control through
hardware and software handshake
- The entire communication with PS416-COM-200 is handled
by the COM function block in Sucosoft S40
|
Engineering |
- The card is configured with the Sucosoft S40 Topology Configurator Modes:
- Transparent mode 1
- Transparent mode 2
|
Transparent mode 1 |
- Transparent (interpretation-free) data transfer of fixed-length data bytes.
The lengths of send and receive data can be specified separately
using the COM function block in the PLC user program.
The data length can vary between 1 and 256 bytes.
|
Transparent mode 2 |
- Transparent (interpretation-free) data transfer of data bytes
with variable length between 1 and 256 bytes Data transfer
with specified start and stop characters
