Introduction
The MAXIFLEX T2 range of CPU’s is designed specifically for industrial telemetry and
remote I/O applications, combining powerful industrial network communications features
with ease of use.
All I/O and configuration data variables are automatically accessible through up to 65000
Data Interchange Registers in a single virtual “Data Interchange Table”, allowing the
implementation of Remote I/O systems “out of the box”.
Conventional remote I/O systems can be implemented without the need for any
programming, although the inclusion of programming capability in the T2 with the powerful
EziForth programming language allows sophisticated local control functions to be
performed.
Following the ISO OSI 7-layer model, this CPU includes a versatile inter-network routing
capability for communicating over multiple networks, in very large geographically spread
installations. This capability allows many dissimilar network types to be linked to create a
seamless factory “intranet”, quite often without the need to lay special network cabling.
Many other features such as a built-in real-time clock, battery backup for temporary
dynamic data, and a MODBUS or Conet/s equipped RS232/485 serial port are standard in
these products.
Powerful features such as automatic I/O module recognition and scanning, remote
programming, and a powerful Remote Data Subscription Service, all contribute to making
the T2 CPU a “plug-and-work” product that dramatically reduces system engineering time.
