Do-more T1H Series PLC System Components

The Do-more T1H Series CPU modules were designed for use with the Terminator I/O product line. For those not familiar with Terminator I/O, it is a modular system which combines the functions of terminal blocks and I/O modules for distributed I/O. Each Terminator I/O system contains: a Power Supply, a Base Controller, and one or more I/O Module(s). Now with the addition of the T1H CPU, standing in place of the Base Controller, the Terminator distributed I/O system becomes a complete, highly functional, stand-alone PLC system.

CPU

T1H-DM1/T1H-DM1E

Power Supplies

120/240 VAC and 12/24 VDC power supplies are available. The AC version has a built-in 24 VDC supply. A power supply must be the leftmost component in a slave system followed by the CPU. Additional power supplies should be added between I/O modules to meet power budget requirements.

I/O Modules

A Terminator I/O module assembly consists of an I/O module and a separate base, as shown below. A complete range of discrete modules which support 12/24 VDC, 110/220 VAC and up to 7A relay outputs is offered. The analog I/O modules provide 12 and 14 bit resolution and several selections of I/O signal ranges (including bipolar). The temperature input modules provide 16 bit resolution with several temperature input range selections.

Chapter 1: Getting Started

Only with the New Online option does the Do-more T1H Series PLC assume that you are creating a new project from scratch. With any other method, such as PLC > Connect, the software will compare the project in the controller with the offline version you have open. If there are any differences, this warning window will appear detailing the options available for continuing:

1. Go Online and view the DISK project - This option will go online with the PLC but display the project from disk. Status displays may show incorrect information. If the memory configuration in the diskbased project contains elements that are incompatible with the memory configuration currently in the Do-more PLC the message box seen here will be displayed.

2. Go Online and view the PLC project - The project from the PLC will be opened by Do-more Designer.

3. Cancel, and return to Offline - This option will cancel the connection attempt and return to the offline project.

4. Compare Programs... - If you are unsure as to why the two projects are different, then this option will do a comparison of the projects and detail the differences found. An example comparison is seen below.

In this example, the PLC project titled My_DM was compared with a project stored on the PC. The report window shown above illustrates the differences found between the two.

Do-more T1H Series PLC Hardware User Manual, 1st Edition, Rev. C

1–17

Chapter 1: Getting Started

According to the report, the PLC project was different in two areas. First, a new code-block was found only in the PLC project. This new code-block is titled MyNewProgram and is highlighted in green. The green color represents items that exist only in the Current Project (project in PLC) and not in the Other (project in PC). Also, the comparison noted that a normally open contact (STR) was changed to a normally closed contact (STRN) at $Main@0. This item is highlighted in blue which represents items that are different between the PLC Project and the project in the PC.

Other colors used in the comparison are red, which denotes items that exist only in the project on the PC and not in the PLC and black which highlights items that are identical in both projects. There are also numerous checkbox and radio button options available to help you analyze the differences between projects.

Once you have connected to the CPU either by using the New Online option or using PLC

> Connect for offline projects, you may encounter the initialization windows shown here.

1–18

The Set PLC Clock option (above) allows you to set the internal, realtime clock of the PLC.
