PLC Arduino ARDBOX PLC 20 I/Os RELAY HF

Arduino-based PLC

It has 20 digital inputs / outputs.ARDBOX product family offers the possibility of communication between two computers using I2C obtaining a master-slave connection.

Basic Controllers family offers the possibility of communication between two computers using I2C obtaining a master-slave connection.

Instant connection and programming

The Basic Controllers family, as it uses an Arduino LEONARDO, lets you program it through the USB. This feature lets it an immediate access in order to program, mantain and prepare it for its set up. It lets you to control your equipmnent without no limits.

Standarised modules.
The different ARDBOX family devices are programmed exactly on the same way. Once you have used one of them, the rest can be configured on using the same methodology.

Expandable

Using the I2C connection which all the Basic Controllers family have you can connect up to 127 modules, which it means that you can have up to 2.540 Input / Ouputs in Master Slave connection. NOTE: for I2C you need to explain us that requirement.

Flexible and dynamic

All the components are configurable both configure like make your jobs as Master or Slave when used on Master-Slave connection through I2C.

Inputs/ Outputs (20 I/Os)

– 10 Inputs:

• (9x) Analog (0-10Vdc) / Digital (24Vdc) Inputs, configurable by jumpers¹

• (1x) Digital inputs PNP ( 24Vdc). (Opto-isolated)

– 10 Outputs:

• (7x) Digitals (24Vdc) / Analog (0-10Vdc) / PWM (24Vdc) outputs, configurables by Jumpers¹.

• (3x) Digital PNP outputs.

Comunications

– (1x) USB port.

– (1x) RS-485 (Half-Full Duplex)*

– (1x) I2C* (you need a pull up accesori)

-(1x) SPI*

* See pinout to use communications ports because the number of inputs / outputs can be reduced.
