Mounting and installation

The PLC should be secured to an enclosed cabinet while mounting. For heat dissipation, make sure to provide a minimum clearance of 50mm between the unit and all sides of the cabinet. (See the figure.)
Rail Mounting: Use standard 35 mm rail.

Connecting Extended Module
Join lower right parallel interface of Last module (Host or Extension Module ) to the lower right of the parallel interface of next module, then tight with two buckles on top and bottom.
The interface of the right side module is left for extension interface for next extension module.

Analog Module Application Case

1. Expand module through the host PLC parallel port

Module power supply
Analog module can be the expansion module for A series PLC; When the module is directly connect to the host PLC, no need to take external power supply, the module is powered by host PLC.

The analog need’t be written any conversion program, read the analog register value directly.
For example, the host PLC AT16S0R, respectively, is expanded with three modules of A16DI, A16XDR, A04AI and A04AO from left to right, assuming the scene:

• Analog module A04AI input channel 1, signal type is 4-20mA, used to measure the pressure, the pressure range of 0.0~3.0Mpa;
• Analog module A04AO input channel 1, signal type is 0-10V, used to control the inverter frequency of 0.0~50.0Hz;
  First enter the PLC programming software menu bar – view – hardware configuration, in accordance with the external order of actual modules to add the module models, after added, the analog address will be automatically arranged, as shown below:

Haiwell analog module need’t be written any conversion program, as for above pressure measurement, we only need to check the use of engineering value, set the lower limit value of 0 corresponding 0.0Mpa, set the upper limit value of 3000 indicating 3.000Mpa, the upper limit value 3000 hidden three decimal places can achieve magnification times and improve accuracy. Then we read the value of the analog input register AI0, if AI0 = 1234, then the actual value is 1.234Mpa.

Similarly, for the analog output, check the use of engineering value, set the lower limit value of 0 indicating 0.0Hz, set the upper limit value of 500 indicating 50.0Hz, if you want the inverter frequency output is 25.6Hz, as long as force the AQ0 value as 256 or through other logic instructions to output the AQ0 value of 256. As shown below:

Programming skills
If you want to write the alarm program that pressure exceeds the setting value,for example, when the pressure is more than 1.25Mpa, it will alarm, the program of PLC can be written as follows:

Display analog value on SCADA, HMI
If the SCADA, touch screen, text and other PC software want to display the current pressure, only need to set three decimal digits on the numerical display primitive, then the read value will be automatically reduced 1000 times in the configuration, that is the actual temperature value, for example, you can set 3 on decimal digits of Haiwell Cloud SCADA settings.

So that when the PLC read AI0 value, AI0=1234, that is the actual value of 1.234Mpa, there is no need to have data processing in PLC and configuration, only set the 3 decimal places on the numerical display primitive, then it will be automatically reduced by 1000 times, displaying value of 1.234, that is the actual value of 1.234Mpa.

when the engineering value is not used, the default code value is 0 ~ 32000
When using the engineering value, the linear transformation is specified by the lower limit and the upper limit value, and the program is automatically transformed. When the engineering value is not used, all types are unified to correspond with 0 ~ 32000 code value.The same case of pressure measurement, this time can according to the linear transformation formula: Out = (In – InDw) * (OutUp- OutDw) / (InUp- InDw) + OutDw to write the conversion program, or use the SC linear transformation instructions to calculate directly.
Haiwell analog used easily, it is recommended to check the use of engineering value, so that the analog will be very convenient without writing any program.

Module CR code application example: Read the module channel disconnection alarm
In this example, in order to read the external sensor disconnection information of A08XA module, the disconnection alarm data of A08XA module input channel 1-4 is stored in CR29, that is, 29H (hexadecimal), decimal 41. (More CR contents can be found in the software online help – hardware manual – expansion module parameters within the corresponding model). This program is as follows:

• Slot: Position number, A08XA is the third module, so fill in 3;
• CR: Module disconnection alarm CR41, that is, 29H (hexadecimal) = 41 (decimal), it can be directly input 41 or 0x29 into the instruction CR terminal;
• N: Number for readings, 1 register for 16 bits, low 4 bits corresponding channel 1-4, disconnection for 1 (ON), normal for 0 (OFF).
