Using the Macro mode

CIE-M10/H10 has 4 different types for monitoring and controlling its I/O ports.

Those are Modbus/TCP, HTTP, Serialized Modbus/TCP and Macro.

This is second time of talking about the Macro.

I want to look into the usages of this mode.

 

<Configuration>

The tool for configuring parameters of CIE-M10/H10 is ezManager.

The mode can be changed by this program.

1. Move to the [I/O Ports] tab.

2. Select the [I/O Port Option] tab

3. Check the [Macro] option and set formulas on each output port.

 

<Practical Example>

See the below setting

 

1. Do0 = i0
It is not necessary to explain the result of this.

2. Do1 = /i0
You must be notice that Do0 and Do1 are never turned ON or OFF in the same time.

3. Do2 = i0 + i1
Except for the first situation of the below truth table, Do2 will keep HIGH.

4. Do3 = i0 * i1
Except for the last situation of the below truth table, Do3 will keep LOW.

5. Do4 = /i0 * /i1
According to the priority, both i0 and i1 are reversed.
Then, the results are operated by AND operator.

6. Do5 = /i0 + /i1
Like the Do4, the reversed values are operated by OR operator.

7. Do6 = /(i0 + /i1)
The bracket has the top priority than any other operators.
Thus, i0 and reversed i1 are operated by OR operator at first.
Then the result is reversed by NOT operator

8. Do7 = i1

<Test>

Following show status of the I/O ports under two different situation.
Try to guess why the result came out.

1. All the input ports are truned OFF

2. All the input ports are truned ON

About Macro mode of CIE-M10/H10

CIE-M10/H10 has 4 different types for monitoring and controlling its I/O ports.

Those are Modbus/TCP, HTTP, Serialized Modbus/TCP and Macro.

I want to talk about the Macro in this time.

This mode is for automatic control of the output ports.

The source could be combination of input ports using simple Boolean algebra.

For example, you can give output port #0 only the input port 0 has valid HIGH signal.

<Operators>

Three operators (AND, OR and NOT) can be used.

The bracket could be included for priority of each term.

1. AND (*)

: It gives HIGH only all the terms are HIGH. It seems like multiplication.

2. OR (+)

: It gives HIGH if one of the terms is HIGH. It seems like addition.

3. Not (/)

: It inverts the signal.

<Operand>

The input ports are used as operand.

Each input port (i0 ~ i7) and combinations of the ports could be used.

<Example>

1. Do0 = i0 + i1

It is a very simple equation. Do0 is turned ON when one of both input ports i0 and i1 has HIGH at least. See the below truth table.

2. Do1 = i0 * / (i1 + i7)

It is a more complicated equation.

a. The operation in the bracket is calculated.

b. The result of a. is inverted by NOT (/) operator in front of the bracket.

c. And then, the result of b. is calculated with i0 by the AND operator.

See the below truth table.

Internet Switch

* SYSTEM INFORMATION

There are three digital I/O controllers of Sollae Systems.
Those are CIE-H10, CIE-M10 and EZI-10.

Using Modbus/TCP, a pair of the products can perform an automatic Internet Switch.
When an Input port get High signal, the other side's output port get High and vise versa.

* Note: Sollae Systems has not been developing and producing the entire system but the communication module only.

POS System

* SYSTEM INFORMATION
This system uses Ethernet or Wireless LAN type module of ezTCP so that users connect POS system devices like a barcode scanner or a small printer to the Internet.
Any kind of shop which use POS devices can apply this.
You can choose the extanded type of ezTCP if you already have those devices and have been using them.

New F/W of ezTCP

 

Some of ezTCP’s Firmwares have been changed.

The versions are followed

 

EZL-200F: 1.3I -> 1.3J

CSE-M32/H20/H21: 1.2H -> 1.3A

CSE-M73 -> 1.4D -> 1.5A

CIE-H10/M10 -> 1.3C -> 1.3D

 

[Major points of the changes]

 

1. Add the AT+PSE command in ATC mode: CSE-M32/H20/H21/M73/CIE-H10/M10

 

AT command lets users operate ezTCP as a TCP server or client.

When TCP connection is established, if you send three escape code “+++”, you can change the Online mode to AT command mode. Doing it, the “+++” character must be sent to your remote host. However, some people didn’t want to send it. To solve this problem, AT+PSE command has been added.

The usage is like this

 

AT+PSE=0

AT+PSE=1

 

It’s quite simple.

If the value is 0, the characters are not sent. The default value is “1”

 

2. Add the MAC ID function: CSE-M32/H20/H21/M73/CIE-H10/M10

 

MAC ID function is for identification with its MAC address.

Checking this option, ezTCP will send its MAC address to the remote host right after the connection is established. The option is available on both TCP server and client mode.

 

The options can be configured by ezManager.

(New ezManager(ver.3.0c) is being developed and tested now. And it will be released soon. You can use the option with it.)

 

For your information, EZL-200F has a similar option with this.

 

3. Multi Monitoring in RS422/485 connections: EZL-200F

 

As you know, EZL-200F supports multi monitoring option. 8 different hosts can be connected with the model in the same time. This option was available on RS232 connection in previous F/W. New F/W has been changed at this point.

You can use the option in RS232/422/485.

 

We are always thinking about users’ convenience in using our products. So, we have been adding a lot of options on their firmware. Thus, we recommend that users always use the latest version of firmware. The file will be on our website.

The model supports useful functions like DDNS, TCP/UDP notification of changed IP address.

 

This model also uses ezManager as a configuration tool like CIE-H10.

Look at the following picture.

 

The Modbus/TCP test program will be created on your screen, when you select the products.

 

The product has one ADC port as well as 8 ports digital Input and Output.

This can be remarkable issue.

If the analog signal inputs the port, the values are presented the number between 0 and 1023. (10 bits resolution)

Users not only can configure the range of the values by using their HTML files but monitor.

 

The examples of HTML are followed

In addition, because this model is formed of SMD type, the dimension is very small. So, you can easily apply to your system.

 

A LED which is connected with the first digital input port (Di0) is equipped for developer.
