Description
The Neuron xS30 is an extension module for the UniPi Neuron PLC product line. The module is based on the Neuron S103 controller, the computing module is however replaced by an additional I/O group. The xS30 model features a higher number of digital inputs
The module's I/O boards feature their own processors controlling all inputs and outputs. In the case of a controller failure, the module is thus able to maintain basic functionality.
Inputs & Outputs
24 digital inputs (DI) are designed for reading logical states (true or false), which are represented by levels of DC voltage. That makes them suitable for reading two-state sensors such as switches (on/off), movement sensors (movement/no movement), water level sensors (water present, no water) etc. The software detects logical 1 (true) if the input voltage between given DIx.y and DIGND is between 5-30V. If the voltage is lower than 3.5V, the state is evaluated as 0 (false)
Communication interface
Extension modules communicate through the RS485 interface (Modbus protocol). Connection manual for extension modules can be found on this link
Additional functionality
Along with standard I/O functionality, the module offers several functions to enhance the module's performance and to allow it to react to critical events.
Digital inputs feature Direct Switch functions allowing for connecting digital inputs with relay outputs. Direct Switch can be configured for one of three modes: Copy (switching output by active input), Invert (output is switched by inactive input) and Toggle (output is switched by each input change). Direct Switch is independent of the control software and is thus suitable for applications demanding a lowest possible response time (such as lighting control).
Default setting is a function allowing each processor to save its default configuration. This configuration is loaded after every device reboot triggered either by manual restart or by a power outage.
MasterWatchdog feature monitors the communication between CPU and I/O board processors. If no exchange occurs within a pre-set timeframe, the MasterWatchdog automatically resets the device and I/O modules back into default settings.
Device addressing and the DIP switch settings
Addressing the extension module can be done either via control software running on the remote master control unit or can be set manually via integrated DIP switch. The DIP switch allows the user to set up to 4 bits of address and is evaluated in preference to software settings. If the address on DIP switch is set to “0000”, all DIP switch settings are ignored and the software settings take priority.
