The SlimLine ARM7 CPU module is the basic processing unit of this programmable controller (PLC) family. The device allows the management of all the SlimLine I/O expansion modules through its I²C™ High-Speed bus, and incorporates an high efficiency power supply designed to support the connection of up to 16 expansion modules (to be verified according to the module connected).

The module is engineered into a compact self-extinguishing UL94 V-0 PC/ABS enclosure; it is directly grafted onto DIN rails according to the standards EN50022/IEC60715 and accepts voltages in the range 10-30Vdc.At the hardware level this CPU is equipped with:

• 1 Ethernet Port 10/100 BaseT RJ45 (Full versions only)
• 2 COM Port RS232
• 1 MiniUSB port
• 1 Field bus RS485(ModBus) or CAN bus (Full versions only)
• 2 Insulated digital input
• 2 Insulated digital output
• 1 micro-SD card slot (Full versions only)
• 1 I2C High-speed Expansion bus

Using non-volatile memory technology FRAM (Ferroelectric RAM), it was possible an appreciable reduction in the size of the lithium battery, minimizing the environmental impact at the end of life. FRAM technology also guarantees a number of virtually unlimited write cycles, thereby improving system reliability, and a very low consumption of energy even during writing cycles. The module is available in three different versions:

• Lite: 2 RS232C, 1 USB, 4 digital I/O,
• Full RS485: 2 RS232C, 1 USB, digital I/O, Eth., 1 insulated RS485,
• Full CAN: 2 RS232C, 1 USB, digital I/O, Eth., 1insulated CAN.

For the connection of the extension modules it is necessary to use the proper bus extension cables (Code CBL074**00) to be ordered separately.

I²C™is a trade mark of NXP Semiconductors

The I/O's connections are made through extractable TB for an easier maintenance.

The PLC is programmable using the 5 languages provided by the IEC61131-3 standard, through the LogicLab development tool fully free downloadable and usable without any limitation.

Thanks to the support of Modbus Rtu protocol, can be connected operator terminals, SCADA software, ProfiLab-Expert applications.
