Description

The EZWire1616 is the first of its kind in the PLC market with integrated, field-wiring I/O terminals, and provides every digital and analog I/O point with its own power (+24V or +5V) and 0V on a 3-level screwless terminal. Every sensor and actuator in the control system can be wired directly to the PLC without requiring additional screw terminal blocks and wire-harnesses.


This design saves systems integrators and machine OEMs valuable time, material cost, control panel space and dreaded wiring error recovery effort during installation.


The EZWire1616 uses TRi's topline SmartTILE-Fx CPU. It supports full floating point computation, non-volatile FRAM, flash file system, battery-backed RTC, Ethernet. RS232, RS485, digital I/Os, 12-bit ADC, 4-20mA DAC, PWM, Stepper controller as well as industry standard Modbus RTU & Modbus TCP protocols.

Communication

  • Programmable over serial, LAN, or the Internet
  • Push data to a server
  • Act as a Modbus TCP/serial master or remote unit
  • Built-in Webserver for web-app control
  • Upload files to an FTP server

I/O

  • NPN Outputs can sink 2A
  • Supports multiple stepper control and PWM signals
  • Measure and count pulses simultaneously
  • 8 x 0-5V AI and 4 x 0-5V AO
  • Expandable digital I/O

Advanced Features

  • High-speed, unlimited write retentive memory
  • Real-time clock for event storage (battery-backup included)
  • Software and hardware interrupts for real-time response
  • PID loops and floating-point math for complex control
  • Simple yet powerful ladder logic and TBASIC structured text programming
