Nano-10 - Super PLC.

At only C$135.00 per unit, the Nano-10 Super PLC is the ultimate answer to many OEM manufacturers' quest for an extremely low cost small PLC with only a few I/Os, that yet possesses the capability of high-end PLCs. Featuring a fast 32-bit CPU, 4 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, 2 Analog inputs (12-bit 0-5V) and weighing only 2.6 oz, the Nano-10 is equipped with a built-in Ethernet port and an RS485 port and is ready to interface to the world of industrial controls. The support for open standard Modbus RTU and Modbus/TCP on the RS485 and Ethernet ports allows the Nano-10 to be connected to the Internet and perform tasks that until now was all but impossible on small OEM machines using nano-class PLCs.

The Nano-10 PLC's 4 Digital Inputs are configurable as 2 x High Speed Counters, 4 x Pulse measurement (frequency, width and period) or 4 interrupt inputs.

Its 2 solid state digital outputs (sink up to 8A @24VDC) can act as 1 x Stepper motor controller or 2 x Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) outputs. Together with two isolated relays, the incredibly flexible I/Os on the Nano-10 readily fit it into all kinds of applications.

NANO-10 Application Ideas

1. Nano-10 As Modbus TCP/IP Gateways for Sensors Nano-10 built-in Modbus TCP/IP Server allows simultaneous connections by up to 5 Modbus TCP/IP clients. With only a few lines of program code you can immediately collect data from your current sensors and makes them available to the factory-wide SCADA or Enterprise network Host Computer. Best of all, you can also perform some pre-processing (e.g. compute the moving average, scaling or linearization) of the data or perform local control with its powerful yet simple to learn Ladder+BASIC programming language. Since multiple communication protocols can coexist on the Ethernet network, Nano-10 provides an instant, low cost solution for sensor manufacturers or any users to connect the sensor to the modern control system.
2. Quickly Create A Customized Basic Control Web Page Since the Nano-10 built-in web services employs the AJAX technology for equipment control, it allows you to quickly create a custom web page within a few minutes to control your equipment. Your user can then use any PC or smart phone (e.g. iPhone) web browser to view the equipment, with graphical illustrations. Best of all, your user does not need to install any application in order to view the operation of your equipment. So what they gain is a no-hassle, free Graphical HMI to interact with your equipment via the Internet. Imagine how much this capability would add to the competitive advantage of your equipment!
3. Creating More Sophisticated Control Web Pages OEMs who have web page design expertise can create their own highly sophisticated customized webpage to control their equipment. The attached video is contributed by an OEM customer who has created a customized control web page for the Nano-10 PLC which is more sophisticated than the basic web control web page shipped with the PLC. Those who wish to purchase the control Javascript codes for this webpage can contact Joel Haggar of Infinite Automation Systems at email: joel@infiniteautomation.com
4. Data Logging and Control of MODBUS Devices. Data Can Be Logged To Remote Server Via The Internet. Nano-10 can issue Modbus-RTU or Modbus ASCII commands to access many industrial devices and sensors such as power meters connected to its RS485 port. This means it can readily acquire data from any instrument that understands Modbus protocol. In addition, since Nano-10 can open a client connection to a remote server, it can log the acquired data to store as data files in the remote PC.
5. Using Nano-10 As Remote I/O Host Since all TRiLOGI PLC products feature built-in RS485 port, the Nano-10 PLC can easily connect to a network of extremely low cost E10 or T100MD PLCs across a large facility. These remote PLCs can provide local control without supervision but can at the same time be controlled by the Nano-10. Multiple MDS100-BW LCD displays can also be accessed individually by the Nano-10 to display real time messages. With a simple <CONNECT> command the Nano-10 can even connect to and communicate with all other Nano-10 or F-series PLCs via the Internet!
6. Internet Accessible Home Control System You can implement a small control system to directly control some equipment in your home and add an web page interface to it in no time. By communicating to a Z-wave base device via RS485/RS232 port you can even perform whole house control via the Internet.
