H2-ERM100 Ethernet Remote Master

• Communications: 10/100BaseT Ethernet
• Data Transfer Rate: 10Mbps, 100Mbps
• Ethernet Protocols: TCP/IP, IPX, Modbus TCP/IP, DHCP, HTML configuration

The Ethernet Remote Master (H2-ERM100) connects DirectLOGIC D2-250, 250-1 and 260 CPU systems to slave I/O over a high-speed Ethernet link. The H2-ERM100 can also be used in a WinPLC system, but only one ERM module can be used with one slave per system.

Each H2-ERM100 module can support up to 16 additional H2-EBC systems, 16 Terminator I/O EBC systems, or 16 fully expanded H4-EBC systems systems or 16 GS1/GS2 Series AC Drives or DURApulse (GS3 Series) AC drives via GS-EDRV100 units. Of course, combinations are fine, too. NOTE: Applications requiring an extremely large number of T1H-EBC analog I/O or H4-EBC 16-channel analog I/O, could exceed the buffer capacity of a single H2-ERM100 module. In these cases, an additional H2-ERM100 module may be required.

The H2-ERM100 module connects to your control network using Category 5 UTP cables for cable runs up to 100 meters. Use repeaters to extend distances and expand the number of nodes.

The PLC, ERM and EBC slave modules work together to update the remote I/O points. These three scan cycles are occurring at the same time, but asynchronously. It is recommended that critical I/O points that must be monitored every scan be placed in the CPU base.

Networking ERMs with other Ethernet devices
It is highly recommended that a dedicated Ethernet remote I/O network be used for the H2-ERM100 module and its slaves. While Ethernet networks can handle a very large number of data transactions, and normally handle them very quickly, heavy Ethernet traffic can adversely affect the reliability of the slave I/O and the speed of the I/O network. Keep ERM networks, multiple ERM networks and ECOM/ office networks isolated from one another.

• ERM Workbench PLC Wizard greatly simplifies the configuration procedure when a PLC is used as the CPU interface.
• ERM Workbench configures the I/O network whether the CPU interface is PLC or WinPLC, and allows access to all ERM I/O network parameters.

• FACTS Extended BASIC and ABM Commander for Windows software for PCs makes program development fast and simple. Allows online, full-screen BASIC program editing and the ability to upload/ download programs on disk. The CD-ROM includes MODBUS master and slave BASIC programs and other application examples.
• Non-volatile memory of up to 128 K allows multiple program storage and execution, DL205 register expansion, and retentive data storage and retrieval.
• 26 MHz BASIC CoProcessor provides fast program execution independent of the CPU scan.
• Three buffered ports allow connection to two RS-232 devices and 32 RS-485 or RS-422 devices.
• The module is programmable from port 1 or 2 for complete serial port utilization without switching cables.
• A real-time clock/calendar maintains time/date with battery backup when power outages occur. Programmable time based BASIC interrupts to .010 of a second.
• Direct access of up to 254 bytes of DL205 CPU memory per scan is possible. No supporting ladder logic is required.
• Floating point math solves complex formulas to eight significant digits.
  
  

• Bar code readers
• Welders
• Board level controllers
• Serial printers
• Intelligent sensors
• Almost any device with an RS-232C / RS-422 / RS-485 port

• The H2-CTRIO2 module offers great flexibility for applications that call for precise counting or timing, based on an input event or for high-speed control output applications.
  
  
• TheH2-CTRIO2 module has its own microprocessor and operates asynchronously with respect to the PLC/Controller. This means that the on-board outputs respond in real time to incoming signals so there is no delay waiting for the PLC/Controller to scan I/O.
  
  
• The H2-CTRIO2 counter module is designed to work with incremental encoders or other field devices that send pulse outputs.
  
  
• H2-CTRIO2 - 250 kHz High Speed Counter I/O Module

• Eight DC sink/source inputs, 9-30 VDC
• Four isolated sink/source DC outputs, 5-36 VDC, (500mA/pt)

• 2 quadrature encoders counters up to 250 kHz, or 4 single channel counters up to 250 kHz
• 4 high-speed discrete inputs for Reset, Inhibit or Capture

• 4 independently configurable high-speed discrete outputs or 2 channels pulse output control
  (20 Hz - 250 kHz per channel)
• Pulse and direction or cw/ccw pulses

All scaling and configuration is done via CTRIO Workbench, a Windows software utility program. This eliminates the need for PLC ladder programming or other interface device programming to configure the module. CTRIO Workbench runs under Windows 98/2000/XP/7 and NT 4.0 SP5 or later.

High-Speed Counter I/O Modules Overview

[back]

• Up to two built-in 5 KHz high-speed counters with 24 presets each. When the preset is reached, an interrupt routine in the CPU is executed. The D2-250 supports 2 channels.
  
  
• Quadrature encoder input for clockwise and counter clockwise position control (D2-250)
  
  
• Programmable pulse output with external interrupts and separate acceleration and deceleration profiles for positioning and velocity control (5 K pulses per second max) (D2-250)
  
  
• 4 External interrupt inputs for immediate responses to tasks.
  
  
• Pulse catch feature allows the CPU to read 4 inputs, each having a pulse width as small as 0.1 ms.
  
  
• Programmable filters for reading up to 4 input signals to ensure input signal integrity
  
  
• Combine features to utilize the full potential of the module. Some modes do not use all available points. So, in some cases, you can assign one of the other features to the point(s) not used by the main mode of operation.
  
  
• Even though some modes can be used together, you cannot use the module for closed-loop control
  (i.e., you cannot use pulse output and counter input features together).

• Add serial ports to your WinPLC system by simply plugging the H2-SERIO or H2-SERIO-4 modules into the DirectLOGIC DL205 I/O base. These serial modules are used exclusively with the WinPLC. The WinPLC communicates with the H2-SERIO(-4) module across the DL205 backplane.
