1.2 System Frameworks

The AH500 series programmable logic controll er is a medium type of programmable logic control system. The execution speed and the memory capacity are increased. Besides, the complete program development function of function blocks is supported. In order to meet users’ more advanced application requirements, the AH500 series programmable logic controllers provide more flexible system extension frameworks. Under such system frameworks, users do not need to use several CPU modules to control the system because of the fact that there are too many I/O points or the equipment is too far away. The completeness of the system is retained, and use rs can be more efficient in developing the projects.

The minimum framework requirement for the AH500 system: To create the AH500 sy stem, one main backpl ane, one power sup ply module, and one CPU module

are needed for the operation of the CPU module.

Main backplane (four-slot AHBP04M1-5A)

CPU module

Power supply module

The common framework of the AH500 system (for original equipment manufacturers): The AH500 system can meet most equipment development re quirements in the application field of

original equipment manufacturers. Generally speaking, one eight-slot main backplane or one twelve-slot main backplane is chosen. Some advanced equipment can be used with a six-slot extension backplane or an eight-slot extension backplane under the original framewor k to increase the number of I/O points and the number of axes, or decrease the wiring cost.

Note: Owing to the consideration to the data transmission speed, the motion control modules a nd

the network modules (exclusive of the serial communication modules) have to be installed with the CPU module on the same backplane. Otherwise, the system can not operate properly.

The common framework of the AH500 system (for system integration): The AH500 system can meet most system control requirement s in the application field of the system

integration. Generally speaking, the system framework is related to the positions of the equipments. A control pan el is usually p l aced among the equipments which are concentrated to save the wiring cost. However, there i s usually more than one concentration point, and the distance between the concentration points is over 100 meters. If it is necessary for users to place more than two control panels, the RTU modules are required. The re mote framework of the AH5 00 system not only fills the remote requirement, but also is combined with the extension of the local I/O. Under most conditions, a control panel instead of a backplane can be regarded as a remote I/O station. In addition, the backplanes, the power supply modules, and other modules are compatible with one another. The convenience of planning the system is increased, and the difficulty of choosing the products is also decreased.

Chapter 2 Programming

The wiring of the modules is described in detail below. (Please refer to AH500 Hardware Manual for more information.)

2.3.1 Wiring the Power Supply Module

z The alternating-current input voltage is within the range between 100 V AC and 240 V AC.

Please connect the power supply to the terminals L and N.

If the 110 V AC or the 220 V AC power supply is connected to the input terminals VS+ and VS-, the PLC will be damaged.

z In order to ensure that the 24 V DC external power supply is provided stably, it can be

connected to VS+ and VS-. If the PLC detects that the voltage of the external power supply is lower than the working voltage, users can write a protective program. (Please refer to section

6.6 in AH500 Operation Manual for more information.)

z The length of the wire connecting with the ground is 1.6 millimeters. z If the power cut lasts for less than 10 milliseconds, the PLC keeps running without being

affected. If the power cut lasts for long, or if the voltage of the power supply decreases, the PLC stops running, and there is no output. When the power supply returns to normal, the PLC resumes. (Users have to notice that there are latched auxiliary relays and registers in the PLC when they write the program.)

z Please use the single-core cable or the twin-core cable. The diameter of the cable used should

be with the range between 12 AWG and 22 AWG. The torque applied to the terminal screw should be within the range between 5 kg-cm (4.3 Ib-in) and 8 kg-cm (6.9 Ib-in). Please use the copper conducting wire. The temperature of the copper conducting wire should be 60/75°C.

z Safety wiring: The PLC controls many devices, and the activity of any device affects the

activity of other devices. If a device breaks down, the whole automatic control system goes out of control, and the danger occurs. The protection circuit is as follows.
