Description
The slot PLC NPLC-C100 described in this user manual is a PC card with
PLC functionality and fieldbus communication. Depending from the loaded
firmware, the fieldbus systems listed in Table 5: Slot PLC NPLC-C100 and
Fieldbus Systems realized thereby on page 10 can be realized.
Power Supply
The slot PLC NPLC-C100 can be supplied by 5 V or 3.3 V (via the PCI bus)
or by an external supply voltage of 24 V DC. By that a redundant power
supply is achieved.
Additionally the slot PLC NPLC-C100 can be used with a battery that in
case of loss of power supplies power to the real time clock and to the
SRAM circuit (for remanent data of the PLC) of the PLC.
The supply voltage of the slot PLC and the battery charge condition can be
monitored within the PLC program by monitoring functions.
This slot PLC is a PC card for fieldbus communication and handles the
complete data exchange between the connected fieldbus devices and the
PLC program.
In one PC a maximum of two slot PLCs can be used.
