| Point1 |
Compatibility with H series PLC utilizes
valuable existing user programs
| EH-150's CPU has two communication ports
: Port 1 and Port 2.
Port 1 can be used as a dedicated port and can be switched to
a general-purpose port. It also supports the modem control function
(except for EH-CPU104A).
Port 2 can be used as a dedicated port for programming devices.
When a general-purpose port is designated, the TRNS command can
be used, making operation easier and improving connectivity.
The interface can be selected from RS-232C, RS-422, and RS-485
for port 1 general-purpose port and the port1 dedicated port (EH-CPU316A,
EH-CPU516, EH-CPU548).

When Port 1 is used as a dedicated port
Multi-link connection of display
(EH-CPU316, EH-CPU516, EH-CPU548) Port 1 can be switched among RS-232C,
RS-422, and RS-485. Task code communication with a station number by HI-PROTOCOL
can be supported using RS-422.

Point2
|
A memory board that can read and write
programs can be loaded in the CPU.(EH-CPU316A, EH-CPU516, EH-CPU548)
Transferring
and comparing programs can be done without a programming device.
The CPU can be operated with the program on the memory board.
A memory board that can store data (384k words) in addition to
the program is also available (EH-MEMD). The memory board employs
a battery-less Flash memory to make maintenance easier.

Point3
|
The compact and stylish EH-150 meets various
automation requirements
| As many as 704 I/O points can be configured on the
EH-150, which is only 462.5 mm (W) × 100 mm (H) × 109
mm (D) in size. The EH-150' s compact size helps reduce machine
size and save installation space, and its bright color and sleek
design adds aesthetic appeal to the entire system. |
|
| Point4
|
The modem connection capability incorporated
as a standard feature allows for 38.4 kbps high-speed communication (EH-CPU316A,
516, 548)
| Port 1 of EH-150' s CPU (except for EH-CPU104A) has a modem connection
function that supports 38.4 kbps high-speed communication.
The control operation can be remotely monitored through the public
telephone line.
The clock function also incorporated as a standard feature realizes
real-time control without an additional module.
LADDER EDITOR for WindowsW Ver. 2.0 or after has the dial-up
function. It is possible to connect to the public telephone line
using the software. |
 |
|
| Point5 |
The state-of-art technologies and functions
realize high-speed processing of complicated control
| o |
The EH-150 contains a 32-bit RISC processor (Super H series
made by Hitachi, Ltd.) that allows high-speed operations. |
| o |
To protect valuable programs from being erased, the EH-150
has a Flash memory for storing user programs. |
| o |
As many as 153 commands are available (EH-CPU516/548).
Commands such as REFRESH assure quick response to high-speed
operation of assembly machines. |
|
 |
|
| Point6 |
Compatibility with H series PLC utilizes valuable
existing user programs
| o |
The same programming software 'LADDER EDITOR' can be used. |
| o |
LADDER EDITOR for Windows® provides easier programming
and debugging with its comfortable operation environment. |
| o |
Various types of displays and monitoring software compatible
with the H series PLC can be used as peripheral equipment |
|
 |
|
| Point7 |
The EH-150 is easy to maintain even after
installed in a machine
| o |
Flash memory protects user programs even if
the power fails. |
| o |
Programs can be easily modified even while
the CPU is running. This helps reduce the time required
for a test run. |
| o |
Easy
installation by snapping on a DIN rail. |
 |
| o |
Removable terminal block for
easy set-up |
| o |
The battery for data memory back-up
can be replaced by opening the hinged front cover of the
CPU. |
