Terminator I/O.
« on: October 19, 2008, 11:48:23 AM »
Hi everybody,

Can I use Terminator I/O with DL06 PLC?
If yes, then how to access I/O's?.

Best regards.

Chiali.

You could with the MODBUS communication interface. Standard MODBUS commands from the DL06 2dn port would be used. Check to see if all interface modules can be used.
An output is a PLC's way of getting its inputs to change.

Chiali,

Also, if you use the T1H-EBC100 in the Terminator I/O, then you could also use an H0-ECOM100 in the DL06. The H0-ECOM100 can be the Modbus TCP Master and the T1H-EBC100 can be the Modbus TCP Slave.
There are two types of people in the world; those that can extrapolate from incomplete data sets.

Thank you all for your responses.

I would like to know how to address the inputs and the outputs in both cases.

If you use the H0-ECOM100 and the Modbus TCP option then you would:
  • Define Modbus TCP peer-to-peer configuration (using NetEdit) for your H0-ECOM100.
  • Use NetEdit to view the Base Contents of the T1H-EBC100 that is to be the slave. This also lists the Modbus TCP Addressing for the I/O plugged into the T1H-EBC100.
  • Use RX/WX (or IBox equivalents) in ladder logic to read/write to the T1H-EBC100 I/O.
  • Modbus TCP addressing (for the RX/WX) is defined in this document: http://www.hosteng.com/FAQFiles/ECOM100%20Server%20Client%20Mapping.pdf.

Hope that helps!
