TSX STZ extension module for Nano PLCs
The TSX STZ 10 I/O extension module is used to connect up to 4 Nano devices,
which may be PLC bases, analogue I/O extensions or a discrete I/O extension.
These remotely installed Nano bases or extensions (200 metres maximum from the
TSX Micro PLC) can be used as :
b I/O o
f the Micro PLC. In this case the number of I/O managed by the TSX Micro PLC
can be increased by 96 discrete I/O or 12 analogue I/O.
b Local “slave” PLCs (1) with data exchanges from application to application
between Micro and each Nano base (the maximum number of Nano bases is limited
to 3). In this application, an FTX 117 terminal or PL7 07 software is required for
software installation on Nano “slave” PLCs.
It is possible to combine both types of configuration on one link.
The TSX STZ 10 half-format module is inserted in position 4 which means that its use
excludes integration of the TSX SAZ 10 AS-Interface bus master module.
Remote discrete or analogue I/O configuration enables :
b A reduction in wiring costs in installations spread over a wide area.
b The I/O status display to be positioned close to the operative part.
b The application to be developed as required by adding I/O blocks.
It is not necessary to configure or program the Nano bases.
To simplify use of these architectures, the Nano I/O are considered, by the
PL7 Micro/Junior/Pro programming software, to be objects integrated in the
TSX Micro PLC.
Configuration:
One to four Nano PLC bases with 10, 16 or 24 I/O, i.e. a maximum of 96 discrete I/O.
Apart from the advantages already mentioned, this type of configuration enables
each sub-assembly or process block to be handled independently, and only the data
necessary for the synchronization and control of sub-assemblies to be handled at the
highest level. This structure also ensures better availability in the event of
sub-assembly failure or repair.
This configuration enables application data to be exchanged between a
TSX Micro PLC and up to three Nano PLCs. This data, set at two read words and
two write words per Nano, is exchanged transparently with the Micro master. Slave
Nano PLCs are programmed and set up in PL7 language, using an FTX 117
dedicated terminal or PL7 07 software.
It is possible to combine both types of configuration on one link, in which case the
maximum number of Nano PLCs is limited to 4.
(1) Cannot be used with Nano extensions.
