The WP-2000-CE7 is the new generation Windows CE 7.0 based PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) of ICP DAS. Each WP-2000-CE7 is equipped with a Cortex-A8 (1.0 GHz) CPU running a Windows CE 7.0 operating system, a variant of input/output ports (VGA, USB, Ethernet, RS-232/485), and an expansion I/O bus.

Its operating system, Windows CE 7.0, has many advantages, including hard real-time capability, small core size, fast boot speed, interrupt handling at a deeper level, achievable deterministic control and low cost. Using Windows CE 7.0 in the WP-2000-CE7 gives it the ability to run PC-based Control software such as Visual Basic.NET, Visual C#, Embedded Visual C++, SCADA software, Soft PLC …etc.

For hardware expansion, it also supports an I/O expansion bus. The I/O expansion bus can be used to implement various I/O functions such as D/I, D/O,A/ D, D/A, Timer/Counter, UART, and other I/O functions. Nearly all kinds of I/O functions can be implemented by this bus. But the bus can support only one board. There are more than 10 boards available for WP-2000-CE7 series, users can choose one of them to expand hardware features.

Software Features

Windows CE 7.0

  • Web Server
  • FTP Server
  • Telnet Server
  • Support PC based software: Visual Studio.NET

Remote Maintenance via FTP Server and VCEP Software

The FTP server is used for uploading applications or downloading data. And VCEP is designed for managing the WP-2000-CE7. VCEP can synchronize every movements (screen, keyboard and mouse actions) between the PC and the WP-2000-CE7 via the Ethernet. By using the FTP server and VCEP, you can update and manage the WP-2000-CE7 remotely via the Ethernet.

Rich Software Solutions

On the WP-2000-CE7, ICP DAS provides the following software solutions to fit in different applications.

  • Visual Studio .Net 2008 and VC solution: SDK as well as demo programs for C#, VB.Net and VC are provided.
  • SoftPLC solution:
    • ISaGRAF supports IEC61131-3 languages, Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Instruction List (IL), and Flow Chart (FC).
    • KW-software supports IEC61131-3 languages and HMI features.
  • SCADA solution: Indusoft provides simple “drag and drop”, “point and click” developing environment for HMI and SCADA applications.

Hardware Features

Built-in VGA Port

A built-in VGA port can be directly connected to a regular LCD display. Users can operate the HMI or SCADA software (running on the WP-2000-CE7) with display, keyboard and mouse just as how they usually did on regular PCs.

64-bit Hardware Serial Number

The 64-bit hardware serial number is unique and individual. Every serial number of WP-2000-CE7 PAC is different. Users can add a checking mechanism to their AP to prevent software from pirating.

Rich I/O Expansion Ability (RS-232/485, Ethernet, FRnet, CAN)

Beside the local I/O slots, WP-2000-CE7 also equips several RS-232/485 ports, two Ethernet ports to connect serial I/O and Ethernet I/O. And with FRnet and CAN communication module in local slot, FRnet I/O and CAN devices are easy to be integrated.

Dual Watchdog Timer

A system could be hanged up when the OS or the AP fails. There are two watchdogs (OS watchdog and AP watchdog) designed to automatically reset the CPU when the situations happen. The design will increase the reliability of the system.

Dual Ethernet Ports

WP-2000-CE7 provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The two Ethernet ports can be used to implement redundant Ethernet communication and separate Ethernet communication (one for global Internet, one for private Ethernet).

Redundant Power Inputs

To prevent the WP-2000-CE7 from failing by the power loss, the power module is designed with two inputs. The WP-2000-CE7 can keep working even one power input fails, and mean while there is a relay output for informing the power failure.

Ventilated Housing Design Allows Operation Between -25°C ~ +75°C

Each WP-2000-CE7 is housed in a plastic-based box with a column-like ventilator that can help to cool the working environment inside the box and allow the WP-2000-CE7 operating between -25°C and +75°C.

Standard WP-2000-CE7 (Windows Compact Embedded 7.0 Inside)
The controller supports following software development tools:
1. DLLs of I/O modules for VC, VS.Net 2008
2. DLLs of Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP for VC and VS.Net 2008

Note: The I/O Expansion Bus can mount one XV-board only.

The WP-2000-CE7 series have a built-in expansion bus.

XV-board can be plugged on the Bus to expand I/O channels, COM Ports, memories or hardware functions.
