Schneider Electric 110-CPU-612-00

The Modicon power supply module 110-CPU-612-00 is a part of the Schneider Electric line of power supply units. There are three operating modes that the 110CPU61200 works in single, parent, and child. The single mode is a stand-alone control system that is programmable. It can also work as a parent PLC. It does this on an I/O expansion link. While in parent mode, it possesses the capability to access the fixed I/O resources of the PCL on the link that is in child operating mode. When the PLC operating mode is in child mode the PLC’s fixed I/O resource can be accessed by the parent on an I/O expansion link. These products are manufactured in France and are designed for Material handling, packaging, and textile machines usage. They come with a 2-year warranty from MRO Electric. We also carry I/O Modules from other manufacturers such as Modicon and ABB.

Features

On the front of the unit, you will find a terminal block. This is for fixed discrete as well as hardwire inputs. There are four corner captive screws for the input terminal block. The PLC status display is on the front as well and has LED indicators. You will find five terminal screws for your external power connection. The front panel has a J1 screw for signal ground-to-chassis ground. There is a J2 screw for 120 Ω termination of the PLC.

How to use a Modicon 110-CPU-612-00

There are fixed designations for the Modicon 110CPU61200 regarding field wiring (under 24 VDC power).  The fixed discrete way in which these I/O units interrelated or arranged is as follows: 

I/O Type24 VDC inputs                                                      I/O Type 24 VDC dedicated high-speed interrupts

Number of I/O Points 16                                                   Number of I/O Points 2

Number of Groups 2 groups of 8                                     Number of Groups 1 group of 3

I/O Type 24 VDC user-selectable counter/interrupt    I/O Type Relay outputs

Number of I/O Points 1                                                     Number of I/O Points 12

Number of Groups 1 group of 3                                       Number of Groups 2 groups of 4 and 4 individually isolated

Advantages

It is beneficial to understand the accouterments that comprise this unit to help clarify included features. Incorporated within this module is an on-board CPU. It carries memory. There is fixed I/O circuitry and also a power supply. The I/O throughput is manipulated by 16 MHz CPU speed. You will find a clock with the time of day built-in. There is a parallel expansion port that is capable of working with three racks of A120 I/O modules. You are able to configure the 24 VDC high-speed inputs to operate as dedicated hardware interrupts. They can also be configured as a user-configurable counter, timer, or interrupt input. You will find two RS-232 ports. These ports are comm 1 and comm 2. What do these ports do? They communicate with the programming mechanism. They also communicate ASCII input and display resources. Both comm1 and comm 2 support comm block. Comm block is only Modbus master ASCII. If you want to expand the serial I/O with other Modicon Micro PLCs, you have this option. The option is available with an RS-485 port. The Modicon 110CPU61200 is supported with four analog input channels. It also has two analog output channels.
