Point1
High performance in a small size

  12-bit analog Input / Output (23-point type)
 

23-point type has 2 analog inputs and 1 analog output as standard. This feature makes it possible for 23-point type to be connected directly with various sensors and actuators without adding any analog input /output modules. Either voltage or current can be selected at each point. 10-point type (EH-D10DRA) has 1 analog input (8-bit) as standard.

  [Input: 0-10 V or 0-20 mA, Output: 0-10 V or 0-20 mA]
  This feature can be applied to a pump system for reservoirs using water level sensors.


Two built-in potentiometers for easy set-up
(except for 10-point type)
 
Timer constant value can be easily changed using these potentiometers even if you do not have a programming device. Values set by the potentiometers are always reflected in the special internal output. Smoothing is possible for these values.

  [The value of the potentiometer 1 and 2 are stored in WRF03E and WRF03F respectively.] [Smoothing: to average the value that varies with time by dividing the specified value.] [The timer value must be set by a variable in advance.]
  With these potentiometers, operation interval can be tuned easily.


Built-in high-speed counter
 
A high-speed counter is provided as standard eliminating the need for an additional counter module for high-speed applications.
14/23/28-point type with DC input can count up to 1-phase 4 channels.

 
14/23/28-point type Max. 10kHz
64-point type Max. 100kHz


  Select one mode from:
  • 1-ph 4 ch, 2-ph 2 ch, or 2-ph 1 ch + 1-ph 2ch [64-point]
  • 1-ph 4 ch, 1-ph 2 ch, or 2-ph 1 ch + 1-ph 1ch [14-/23-/28-point]
  • 1-ph 3 ch, 1-ph 2 ch, or 2-ph 1 ch [10-point]
 
  By taking input directly from an external encoder, the position of the object being controlled can be detected.
  [The functions that can be used (pulse train, PWM, interruption input, etc.) vary in each mode.]
  This feature can be applied to the detection of the position of objects on various assembly, processing, and testing lines.


PWM and pulse train output (MICRO-EH with DC output)

PWM output is provided as standard.

  Temperature control and light brightness control are possible by modulating the pulse width.
 
10/14/23/28-point up to 2kHz
64-point up to 65kHz
 
Pulsetrain output is also provided as standard.
  Simple positioning control, fine tuning of conveyor's moving distance, etc. are possible by pulse train output with acceleration/deceleration function.
 
10/14/23/28-point Max. 5kHz
64-point Max. 65kHz


Maximum 176 I/O points
(64-point type x1 + 28-point expansion unit x4)
 
Up to 4 expansion units can be connected.
(except for 10-point type)
Cable length is up to 2 meters in total.



Flash memory for storing user programs
 
To protect valuable programs from being erased during power failure, the MICRO-EH contains flash memory for storing user programs.


Built-in real-time clock for event scheduling (23/28/64-point type)
  A real-time clock is provided as standard
(23/28/64-point type) for event scheduling.


Battery for data memory back-up (23/28/64-point type)
 
An optional battery is mountable for data memory back-up.


Digital filter
 
Filtering delay time can be adjusted to eliminate chattering. It can be set between 0 and 20 ms in units of 0.5 ms.


Power supply for sensors
(14/23/28/64-point type and 14/28-point expansion unit)
 
The 24V terminal at the input terminal block can supply current to external equipment.
[When this power is used as the power supply for the input part of the MICRO-EH, the remaining power can be used for sensors.]

Point2 User-friendliness


Removable terminals for easy set up (except for 10-point type)

 
Replacement of the MICRO-EH can be accomplished in a fraction of the time.


Easy installation by snapping on a DIN rail or screwing onto a panel
 
Terminal protective covers are hinged and can stay open for easy wiring. Terminal layout indication on the front panel can be read even when the protective covers are open.

Point3 Compatibility with the H series PLC
 



Same programming software for utilization of valuable existing user programs -LADDER EDITOR for Windows®
[Pro-H (IEC61131-3) is also available.]
  Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corp. in the U.S. and other countries
Point4 Conformity to global standards
  CE, UL, cUL, and C-Tick approvals
 

Point5 Network compatibility
  RS-232C port as standard (Port 1)

Communication speed can be selected from 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400 bps. *1
Modem control function is incorporated. (except for 10-point type)

  *1. Standard procedure (transmission control procedure 1) and simplified procedure (transmission control procedure 2)
 
By connecting the port 1 with a peripheral unit, the created programs can be transferred, the programs stored in the CPU can be read/verified, and CPU operating status can be monitored. In addition, a monitoring system that connects the display device, etc. can be configured.

RS-422/485 port as standard for 23-/28-point type (port 2)
 
Either RS-422 or RS-485 can be selected by the connection wiring.
 
1:n station communication by HI-PROTOCOL is possible via the port 2 *2. By creating and including a control procedure based on HI-PROTOCOL on the personal computer that will become the host, it is then possible to control 32 units from one host.
 
* When performing 1:n station communication using port 2, the transmission control procedure that can be used is restricted by the interface. Since transmission and reception are started up at the same time in transmission control procedure 2, it is not possible to perform communication with an RS-485 interface . The table shown right reflects the correspondence between transmission control procedure and interface.
