The
CSL PLC9000 is a user programmable multi functional PLC designed to monitor a number of IS Transducers both
Digital
(volt free contact) and Analogue type and to provide output control of
connected
equipment and plant.
The
digital inputs are diode proven to ensure failsafe operation if cable
faults occur.
Dedicated counter inputs are present, suitable for high speed pulse
counting, frequency
and speed monitoring purposes.
The
analogue inputs can directly accept signals from transducers whose
outputs are in
the range 0.4V-2.0V; also current output transducers (4-20mA) can be
accommodated.
Analogue conversion modules are used to interface other transducer
types e.g. PT100
and thermistor probes.
Data
communications to other manufacturer’s equipment and remote
monitoring/control stations is achieved using high speed FSK modems,
RS485 or fibre
optic transmission modules.
The
back plane is located on the rear of a Eurorack system and is designed
to
accommodate a variety of electronic modules. The number of modules that
can be
inserted is dependant upon the size of the back plane, which is
available in 10 or 21 slot
variants.
Of the
slots available on the
back plane, one must be reserved for the 9010A Processor
Module. This module acts as the ‘master’ to the
other modules ‘slaves’ and holds the user programmable
configuration. This is created using a IEC 61131 standard PC based
configuration tool.
