| The HIO units possess both Prizm (Operator interface) as well as programmable logic features. The user can implement logic, specific to application using standard Ladder programming. The HIO unit has four 32-bit High Speed Counters
(Normal and Quadrature Mode), Rate measurement capability (max. up to 25kHz), Timers and Counters, Internal Coils, retentive and non-retentive memory and PID functionality. A PLC logic task can be programmed for continuous scanning, or only when a specific screen is showing. The HIO operator interface functions revolve around Screens and Tasks that can be assigned to screens and application. The HIO can also display an Alarm conditions. |
Digital I/O
HIO Touch Screens can have up to 28 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs on the unit. Digital inputs are high impedance 24 VDC and outputs are relay (NO), transistor outputs or a combination of both. The Digital I/O capability of HIO units can be expanded using external add on I/O Modules.
Analog I/O
The HIO controllers can have up to 4 universal analog inputs and 2 analog outputs. Analog inputs are mA, mV, Thermocouple and RTD. The Analog outputs are 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC. Analog I/O capability of HIO units can be expanded using external add on I/O Modules.
PID
The built-in PID controller can process 12 independent inputs in addition to the Analog inputs of the unit. The input to the PID controller is a data register, which can hold an analog input or any other value.
High Speed Counters
HIO Touch Screens support High Speed Counter inputs. These High Speed Counter inputs can be used for applications such as Rate Measurement, Speed Measurement, Totalizer, etc. The user can define upto 4 High Speed inputs. HIO units also support Quadrature Pulse input.
PWM
HIO Touch Screens support Pulse Width Modulation output. PWM is used for applications such as Motion Control. The user can control the fixed number of Pulses that are to be sent to drives.
Touch Keys Task
Touch Keys in HIO units can be assigned Tasks for three instances: when the key is pressed , while the key is pressed and when the key is released. Multiple tasks can be assigned to a key. In addition to above, tasks for data entry, alarm management etc. can be defined. These definitions allow complete flexibility in cursor control and key operations when changing data.
Alarms
Real time and historical alarms can be defined in HIO Touch Screens. User-friendly alarm object can be defined on the display. Alarms can be real time or historical. Keys can be assigned to acknowledge alarm, view and scroll.
Screens
Up to 65535 screens can be defined in HIO Touch Screens. Screen Tasks can be assigned before showing a screen, while showing a screen and after hiding a screen. Various types of objects such as plain text objects, Data display (coil status, register value, register dependent text), Data entry objects and Alarm objects etc can be defined. Data entry objects can have limits and math associated. Floating point data entry is supported.
Multilanguage / Unicode Support
All the languages are supported in the HIO Touch Screens. The user can now display messages, alarms in any regional language. All Windows® fonts can also be used in an application.
Communication Ports:
RS232 - RS422 / RS485 / CMOS Ports: HIO Touch Screens have two serial communication ports. Both the ports can be used for programming of HIO unit, printing screens, connecting to third party serial devices (barcode readers, printers etc.) or to connect to a PLC or drive. User can connect two masters simultaneously on these ports.
Configuration Software
Prizm Setup Software is a compact, Windows® based software to configure the HIO Series Interfaces. Prizm configuration tools and easy approach, can help you create your applications quickly and easily. Whether you need a small application to monitor data or a bigger application for both monitoring and control, Prizm Setup Software has it all.
To get started with HIO you need:
1. HIO unit
2. Prizm Setup Software
3. IBM Cable (Part codes: IBM 0909-1-00 or IBM 0925-1-00)
