The ISaGRAF μPAC-5000 series (μPAC-5xx7, μPAC-5xx7D) is an enhanced version of palm-size μPAC. It provides ISaGRAF workbench for PLC user. Owing to the bigger and special form factor design, the μPAC-5xx7(D) can add an internal wireless module, such as 2G, 3G, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, GPS for different wireless application. The optional I/O expansion board, XW-board, is two times larger than the X-board of μPAC-7186 and provides high-protection I/O.
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 DI, DO,
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 μPAC-5xx7(D) series, you can choose one of them to expand hardware features.
Protocols (Note that certain protocols require optional devices)
NET ID
1 ~ 255, user-assigned by software
Modbus RTU/ASCII Master Protocol
A max. of 2 Ports: COM1, COM2 and COM3 (*). (To connect to other Modbus Slave devices)
A max. of Modbus_xxx Function Block amount for 2 ports: 128.
Modbus RTU Slave Protocol
A max. of 2 COM Ports, COM1 and one of (COM2, COM3) (*).
(For connecting ISaGRAF, PC/HMI/OPC Server and HMI panels.)
Modbus TCP/IP Protocol
Ethernet port supports Modbus TCP/IP Slave Protocol for connecting ISaGRAF & PC/HMI up to 6 connections.
User-defined Protocol
Custom protocols can be applied at COM1, COM2 and COM3 ~ 8 using Serial communication function blocks. (*)
Remote I/O
One of COM2 or COM3: RS-485 supports I-7000 I/O modules, I-87K base + I-87K Serial I/O boards, or RU-87Pn + I-87K High Profile I/O boards as remote I/O. A max. of 64 I-7000/87K remote I/O modules can connect to one PAC. (*)
Fbus
Built-in COM2 Port to exchange data between ICP DAS's ISaGRAF PACs.
Ebus
Used to exchange data between ICP DAS ISaGRAF Ethernet PACs via the Ethernet port.
Send Email
Provide functions to send email to a max. of 10 receivers with a single attached file via the Ethernet port through internet.
The max. of file size is about 488 KB.
SMS: Short Message Service
One of COM1 or COM3 or COM4 (RS-232) (*) can link to a GSM Modem to support SMS. The user can request data/control the controller via a cellular phone. The controller can also send data and alarms to the user’s cellular phone.
Optional GSM Modem: GTM-201-RS232 (850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS External Modem) Note: μPAC-5207, 5307 has built-in GPRS, no external GSM/GPRS modem required.
Redundancy Solution
Two PACs plug with XW107 in slot0. One is Master, one is Slave. Master handles all inputs & outputs at run time. If Master is damaged (or power off), Slave will take over the control of Bus7000b. If Master is alive from damaged (or power up again), it takes the control of Bus7000b again. The change over time is about 5 seconds. Control data is exchanging via Ebus (if using a cross cable, no require any Ethernet Switch). All I/O should be RS-485 I/O except the status I/O in the slot 0: XW107.
CAN/CANopen
COM1 or COM3~8 can connect to one I-7530 (converter: RS-232 to CAN) to support CAN/CANopen devices and sensors. One PAC supports a max. of 3 RS-232 ports to connect a max. of 3 I-7530. (*) (FAQ-086)
FTP Client
Enable the FTP Client to upload files from the PAC to a remote FTP server on a PC. (FAQ-151)
All XW-Board series support PWM output.
Support max. 8-ch for one PAC; Max. frequency:
500 Hz max. for OFF = 1 & ON = 1 ms
Output square wave: OFF: 1 ~ 32767 ms, ON: 1 ~ 32767 ms
Counters
Parallel DI Counter
All XW-Board series support DI counter.
Support max. 8-ch for one PAC ; Max. count/frequency: 32-bit, 500 Hz ; Min. pulse width > 1 ms
Remote DI Counter
All remote I-7000 & I-87K DI modules support counters.
Max. count/frequency: 16-bit (0~65535), 100 Hz
