EasyPort USB An interface for measuring, open-loop control,
closed-loop control.
Connection of software/simulation
with actual training equipment/all
PLCs
The principle is simple: the USB interface is connected to the PC. The
connection to the automation equipment is via standard SysLink connectors. Input and output signals can
thus be read into and output from a
PC. So that EasyPort can adapt to different situations, we have developed
software for the device drivers with
a graphical user interface, via which
connections can be made.
Control of numerous practical
process model
Numerous practical process models
can be controlled using any PLC using EasyPort and the EasyVeep simulation software included in scope
of delivery. The models are documented and meet a broad range of
requirements.
The topics covered include the following:
Level crossings
Multi-storey car parks
Sorting systems
Sluice chambers
Lifts
Washing machines
7-segment display
Garage doors
Technical data
24 V power supply via separate
screw terminals or via SysLink connectors
Interface to PC (galvanically iso
lated): USB 2.0, RS 232. Up to
4 modules can be connected via
a USB hub. Transmission speed:
115 kbaud
Analogue interface: sub-D 15-pin
socket, 12 bit resolution, 4 analogue inputs, 2 analogue outputs,
sample frequency 0.5 kHz
Digital interface: 16 digital inputs,
16 digital outputs on 2 x 24-pin
Centronics sockets with 8 digital inputs each (24 V), 8 digital outputs
(24 V). 24 V power supply. Digital
signals represented by LEDs
Large LCD display, display of channel, unit, trend and measured value (4 digits). Selection of the channel to be displayed and the units
via keys.
Controllable via Activ-X control
from Labview, C++ or Visual Basic
