CAN-CBM-PLC/331-1

Fast Computer with CAN and Serial Interface The CAN-CBM-PLC/331-1 module is a high performance computer basis for the field of decentralized automatic control engineering. It operates with a 25 MHz microcontroller MC68331, supported by a fast response real-time multitasking operating system, which is programmed either in accordance with IEC-61131 or in HLL (GNU-C++ or PEARL). CAN Interface for Process-I/O Analog, digital and serial input/output modules of the CANbloc® series can be connected to the automation computer CAN-CBM-PLC331-1 via the CAN bus in accordance with the CANopen standard. The ISO 11898-compatible CAN interface allows a maximum data-transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s. The CAN interface is electrically insulated via DC/DC converters. Serial Interface for Configuration and Communication The integrated serial interface is used for configuring (program download and debugging) and for connecting a serial terminal. CAN Protocols CANopen is supported as Layer-7-protocol on the CAN layer. Programming and Debugging For the automation system CAN-CBM-PLC/331-1 you can use a PC-supported development environment for high-level languages GNU-C++ and PEARL and a IEC- 61131-Soft-PLC tool for Windows 95/98/NT. You can either use the serial interface or the CAN bus itself for programming.
