INTRODUCTION
1.1. Introduction
c-pro 3 is a family of programmable controllers.
The family consists of:
-
programmable controllers (c-pro 3 hecto, c-pro 3 hecto+, c-pro 3 mega, c-pro 3 mega+ and c-pro 3 NODE mega)
-
I / O expansions (c-pro 3 EXP hecto and c-pro 3 EXP hecto+).
c-pro 3 hecto is available in blind version and can be used for example with an user interface such as Vgraph, Vtouch or Vroom.
The controllers have got:
-
real time clock
-
3 analog inputs configurable via configuration parameter for PTC / NTC / Pt 1000 probes / 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA / 0-5 V
ratiometric / 0-10 V transducers
-
5 non optoisolated free of voltage digital inputs
-
3 analog outputs of which 1 non optoisolated PWM output and 2 non optoisolated outputs configurable via configuration
parameter for 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA / 0-10 V signal
-
6 digital outputs (electromechanical relays) of which five 5 res. A @ 250 VAC SPST outputs and one 8 res. A @ 250 VAC
SPDT output
-
3 non optoisolated communication ports of which 1 CAN port with CANbus communication protocol, 1 RS-485 port with
Modbus master / slave communication protocol (configurable via application software) and 1 programming and debugging
port.
Through the I / O expansion c-pro 3 EXP hecto or c-pro 3 EXP hecto+ it is possible to increase the number of inputs and outputs.
c-pro 3 hecto+ is available in the following versions:
-
with 128 x 64 pixel single colour LCD graphic display (black with rearlighting through white LEDs) and with a 6 buttons (with
preset functions) keyboard made of silicone rubber integrated in the controller, hereinafter also called “built-in versions”
-
blind (can be used for example with an user interface such as Vgraph, Vtouch or Vroom), hereinafter also called “blind
versions”.
The controllers have got:
-
real time clock
-
alarm buzzer (not available in the blind versions)
-
4 analog inputs of which 3 configurable via configuration parameter for PTC / NTC / Pt 1000 probes / 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA /
0-5 V ratiometric / 0-10 V transducers and 1 for NTC probes
-
5 optoisolated digital inputs at 24 VAC / DC
-
3 analog outputs of which 1 non optoisolated PWM output and 2 non optoisolated outputs configurable via configuration
parameter for 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA / 0-10 V signal
-
6 digital outputs (electromechanical relays) of which five 3 res. A @ 250 VAC SPST outputs and one 5 res. A @ 250 VAC
SPDT output
-
3 non optoisolated communication ports of which 1 CAN port with CANbus communication protocol, 1 RS-485 port with
Modbus master / slave communication protocol (configurable via application software) and 1 programming and debugging
port.
Through the I / O expansion c-pro 3 EXP hecto or c-pro 3 EXP hecto+ it is possible to increase the number of inputs and outputs.
c-pro 3 mega and c-pro 3 NODE mega are available in the following versions:
-
with 122 x 32 pixel single colour LCD graphic display (black with rearlighting through white LEDs) and with a 6 buttons (with
preset functions) keyboard made of silicone rubber integrated in the controller, hereinafter also called “built-in versions”
-
blind (can be used for example with an user interface such as Vgraph, Vtouch or Vroom), hereinafter also called “blind
versions”.
The controllers have got:
-
real time clock
-
alarm buzzer (not available in the blind versions)
