The WinPLC offers you the advantages of a PC ... in a
PLC!
The WinPLC provides a Windows® CE operating system
environment in our DL205 CPU hardware. The small size and
low cost of DL205 products is desirable, but the operating
systems of the D2-230, 240, 250-1 and 260 CPUs are
proprietary (like most PLCs).
The WinPLC provides a hybrid PC-PLC solution that brings
the best of the PLC and PC control worlds together.
A WinPLC system is the best solution if your
applications require:
Complex math
Heavy serial communications (can use the H2-SERIO
module)
Advanced data manipulation
Advanced handling of string or array data
Up to 64 PID loops
The WinPLC module plugs into the CPU slot of the DL205
PLC base. WinPLC uses Windows CE, a real-time operating
system, with the advantages of PC software such as OPC,
ActiveX and the other Microsoft communication tools.
Backplane communications to DL205 I/O
100MHz processor speed
8 Mb ROM/ 8 Mb RAM for memory-intensive applications
Microsoft® Windows® CE operating system
Supports MODBUS RTU and MODBUS TCP (slave only)
The WinPLC offers both deterministic control and PC
connectivity. Control, data management, communication and
integration with business systems are easy with the WinPLC's
advanced software development tools.
Develop projects for the WinPLC with Think & Do
Studio or Think & Do Live! HMI development
software.
For qualified OEMs or software developers, the WinPLC
comes in a CE-only version for VB and C++ programmers to
develop their own control code. If you are interested in the
CE-only version, visit http://www.hosteng.com/ for
