Details
SimplePLC is an autonomic building automation system with switches located in various places in the building and controlled with the use of the smartPLC platform. SimplePLC system allows the user to easily create an intelligent lighting control system or to control any electrical devices through input/output expanders or relay outputs of the switches, just employing the existing electrical wiring. The system consists of the Hub-SimplePLC-D4M hub, input/output expanders (EXP-I8-RN-x, EXP-O8-RN-x) and intelligent switches (IO-SimplePLC, IOE-SimplePLC). The communication between the hub and expanders is performed via RopamNET bus, whereas the data exchange between the hub and intelligent switches takes place via the 230 VAC power network. The state of expander inputs is transmitted via the hub and SmartPLC platform to the dispersed IO modules. The state of the inputs of IO modules is provided to outputs of the expander. The IO-SimplePLC modules are equipped with remotely controlled two-state output (10 A / 250 VAC), two-state input (ON/OFF), potential input (N/L), for local control by a 230 VAC push-button or single-pole switch. The IO-SimplePLC modules can be mounted in typical electrical boxes and are compatible with standard electrical outlets and switches.
Applications:
- intelligent building, home automation,
- electronic intrusion detection systems,
- remote control of electrical appliances,
- intelligent lighting systems.
Features:
- ability to integrate with any electronic/electric systems (via inputs/outputs)
- cooperation with EXP-I8-RN G7051, EXP-I8-RN-D4M G7053, EXP-O8R-RN G7054 expanders (communication via RopamNET bus)
- reliable two-way communication via 230 VAC power network, using SmartPLC technology
- dynamic selection of communication routes and protection against eavesdropping and interference
- virtually unlimited range within a single building power network (in the case of three-phase networks and/or high EMI levels, PLC Coupler D2M G7174 coupler should be used)
- dynamic selection of communication routes and protection against eavesdropping and interference
- support for up to 8 IO-SimplePLC G7182 or IOE-SimplePLC switches
- DIN rail mountable (width of 4 modules)
