Universal Controller SU 1.2 specification
Thanks to the integrated serial interface, RS232/485, the SU 1.2 controller can be connected to the existing control system in a industrial network, for example Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet and the like. In this manner, by means of adequate protocol converters, controller SU 1.2 can be attached to a system based on PLC controllers.
Interface RS485, also enables the building of a new system, linking controller SU 1.2 in network (for instance MODBUS) with other devices (for example: PLC controllers, inverters, touch panels HMI, additional expansion modules) and across adequate protocol (for example MODBUS RTU) assert communication.
Means of broadcasting modems (radio modems, wireless serial network) or GSM/GPRS modems can assert wireless communication with controller.
The controller has been designed for housing in functional casing, which mount on top-hat rail DIN enable. All the connections which are destined to connect external devices (like sensors, electrical elements, network), are screw terminals (5.08 mm raster).
The central unit is microcontroller type RISC, Atmega 32, ATMEL Company. Schematics, which are delivered with the controller, make possible free programming of controller, according to requirements. The program to the controller can be written in assembler (AVR STUDIO), C language (WINAVR) or BASIC language (BASCOM AVR). After compilation, the controller is programmed via an ISP connection, which is compatible with ISP programmer unit, for example STK200/300 (connection IDC 10).
The controller has been appointed in JTAG connection. By means of adequate programmer (compatible with AVR JTAG ICE Atmel Company), JTAG interface of the controller cooperative with program AVR Studio and enables:
- debugging code program (On-Chip Debug) of the controller,
- control outputs and checking status inputs of the controller,
- memory and fuse control of processor programming.
Besides, the controller is delivering with bootloader program, which enables to program the controller directly from PC computer. By means any terminal program (for example Hyperterminal) and RS-232 connection, can send file of program in *.bin format to the controller. In this way, program of bootloader enables update firmware, without disassembly of the controller.
For increase functionality and appearance aesthetical, all front panel of the controller can be replaced panel frontal, making according delivered design and can include:
- keyboard membrane,
- display LED status,
- transparent window for display LCD,
- own description and logo.
Controller is delivered with:
- documentation,
- schematic diagram,
- example programs,
- software to compilation programs,
- guarantee.
Program examples delivered with controller:
- program to test all functional components of controller SU 1.2 (code source in assembler),
- program to controller SU 1.2 , which by means of MODBUS RTU protocol, communication with touch panel MT-508 Weintek)company enables - reading status of digital inputs and manual control logic outputs of controller SU 1.2 by means of touch panel (code source in C),
- program to touch panel MT-508, reads digital inputs status and manual control logic outputs of controller SU 1.2 (program for service panel, via RS232 port PC computer, testing as mentioned above configuration without hardware panel enable),
- library to service MODBUS RTU protocol for SU 1.2 controller (code source in C),
- bootloader program, to update firmware in the controller (compiled program, file of program in intel format *.hex).
Application of controller:
- automatic industrial systems,
- controlling ventilation and air conditioning,
- regulation of temperature,
- automatic buildings,
- control by real time (for example schools bells),
- control production process.
