The Interface
A
PK2100
S
eries controller has the following as its interface:
1
Six universal inputs. Universal inputs can be used as
(
A
) digital inputs. With a single threshold (in software or
hardware) the input channel yields a digital
1
when the input
voltage is above threshold and
0
otherwise.
(
B
) digital inputs with two thresholds. Z-
W
orld software re-
turns a digital
1
when the input voltage is above a high
threshold, a
0
when voltage is below a low threshold, and re-
ports ‘no change’ otherwise. It is a simple and logical exten-
sion to write software that handles several thresholds. Thus,
the universal inputs can be used as...
(
C
) analog inputs (with Z-
W
orld software).
The universal inputs accept
0
–
10V
with
10
-bit resolution,
and are protected against overloads in the range
±
48
volts.
2
One high-sensitivity (high-gain) differential analog input.
Normally, the high-gain input range is
0
–
1
volt, but you can
change resistors (
R5
,
R11
,
RP5
) on the operational amplifier.
It has
10
-bit resolution.
If you don’t use the high-gain channel, a seventh universal
input is available.
3
Seven protected digital inputs, with a
2
.
5
volt threshold.
Three of the inputs also function as counter inputs.
4
Two counter channels capable of counting pulses at up to
600
k
H
z or more. The counter inputs can also be used to
measure pulse width and other pulse timing characteristics.
The counters use
DMA
hardware.
5
Two on-board relays, rated for
3A
at
48V
, with
NO
,
NC
, and
COM
terminals for each. You can install
MOV
s to protect re-
lay contacts.
6
Ten high-current outputs suitable for driving relays or sole-
noids. These outputs can sink approximately up to
500
mA
at voltages up to
48V
(when used individually) subject to to-
tal heat dissipation restrictions for the driver chips (
1
.
25W
).
7
One analog output (
DAC
) which can be either a
0
–
10V
volt-
age output or
0
–
20
mA current output. A second analog volt-
age output (
UEXP
), normally used by software to drive the
universal inputs, is available when the universal inputs have
a fixed hardware threshold. The
DAC
s have
10
-bit resolution.
8
An
RS422/RS485
serial port and an
RS232
serial port with
two handshaking lines operate at up to
38
,
400
baud. A sec-
ond
RS232
port can be configured as a substitute for the
RS485
port by changing board jumpers. It has no handshak-
ing lines.
9
A
26
-pin expansion bus (
PLCB
us
TM
) for Z-
W
orld
PLCB
us de-
vices or customer-designed devices. Refer to the PLCBus
data sheet.
The Terminals
There are
50
screw terminals used for input, output, and power
connections. There are two connectors on the sides of the unit:
a
RJ12
“phone jack” for the
RS232
port, and a
26
-pin connector
for the expansion bus.
The signal names of the screw connectors are shown below.
