1 Overview
The SCADAPack 32P consists of a 5232 Controller board, see
Application programs for the controller can be written in either TelePACE Ladder Logic, or
optionally IEC61131, and C/C++ language.
The 5232 Controller provides an integrated power supply, three digital/counter inputs, an interrupt
input and a status output. The 10-BaseT Ethernet port and three serial communication ports enable
connection to a large variety of communication networks. Two of the serial communication ports are
RS-232 and the third is configurable for RS-232 or RS-485.
The RS-232 serial communication ports on the controller board support half-duplex and full-duplex
communication. They support RTS/CTS hardware handshaking for connection to modems and radio
modems. The RS-232 and RS-485 ports operate at baud rates from 300 baud to 38400 baud.
Using 5000 Series I/O modules can expand the I/O capacity of SCADAPack 32P Controllers. A
maximum of forty 5000 Series I/O modules may be connected for an expansion of up to 512 digital
outputs, 512 digital inputs, 128 analog inputs, 32 counters and 32 analog outputs.
The 5232 Controller memory has 8 Mbytes SDRAM, 4 Mbytes flash ROM, and 1 Mbyte CMOS
SRAM. The CMOS SRAM is non-volatile (battery backed.). A real time clock calendar provides for
time of day operations and alarms. A hardware watchdog timer protects against application program
failures.
Low power applications also benefit from the SCADAPack 32P ability to enable and disable status
LED’s on all modules connected to the 5000 Series I/O bus including the controller board.
