DESCRIPTION:
The Stamp PLC (Program Logic Controller) is sized for automating small
machines. Specified by Parallax and designed by Lawicel HB of Sweden, this
product represents our combined expertise to answer to a frequent request
from our customers. A 24-pin BASIC Stamp or Javelin Stamp is required and
sold separately.
PLCs are microcontrollers that are packaged to withstand the hazards of an
industrial environment. Stamp PLC inputs and outputs are optically
isolated, fully protected, and the electronics are electrically tough and
rather immune to noise typically present in industrial environments. Stamp
PLC is housed by a strong and sleek enclosure that offers an integral DIN
rail mount. Unlike other PLC's which may have proprietary code, you may
create the code for your Stamp PLC and customize it to fit your needs.
This non-restrictive power will allow you to design and modify your
systems much faster. Here are the technical features:
Complete Javelin and BASIC Stamp code support
Safe 24V industrial control in a DIN rail package
10 digital inputs; 8 digital outputs; 4 analog inputs provides
control flexibility
10 Digital Inputs. Eight of these inputs are grouped together using
an on-board shift register. BASIC Stamps and the Javelin Stamp have
built-in commands to read these with ease. The remaining two inputs
are read directly by the Stamp. All inputs are optically isolated.
8 Digital Outputs are optically isolated, electrically and thermally
protected.
4 Analog Inputs. Installing the optional Maxim 1270 12-bit A/D
converter adds four analog input channels. Each channel can be
independently configured as 4-20mA, 0-5 VDC, -/+ 5 VDC, -/+ 10 VDC.
Front Panel LEDs indicate the status of all ten inputs and all eight
outputs via a light-pipe array.
Heavy-duty power supply has built-in noise protection.
RS-232 Serial Port Once programming is completed, the on-board
serial port can be used to send and received data at any baud rate
between 300-50K Baud.
24-pin socket accommodates any 24-pin BASIC Stamp or Javelin Stamp.
This means that this PLC can do virtually anything that your chosen
Stamp can perform. Logic functions, numerical computation, conditional
branching, even non-volatile memory for data-logging.
Product includes jumpers for A/D converter, serial cable. Power
supply and A/D converter sold separately
