PPC-2000 Modules
The following sections describe the purpose and features of
each type of module available with the PPC-2000 system.
PPC-2010 Processor Module
The PPC-2010 processor module houses the system
microprocessor, memory and controller programs. Modular
communication ports support connections with a PC running
AnaWin3 and LogicPro or third-party interface software, and
connections with third-party operator interface panels or other
devices that communicate using Modbus protocol. Communica-
tions ports one and two may be used simultaneously.
Additional modules may be connected to the processor module’s
expansion bus to add capabilities to the PPC system.
Precision analog outputs can be provided using Serial Digital to
Analog Converters (SDAC). Each SDAC unit converts a control
output from the processor module to an analog voltage or
current signal. For more specific information, see
SDAC Serial
Analog-to-Digital Converter on page 9 .
