Operation

The controller comes preloaded with application-specific software. It can run ladders or blocks. Minor changes to the control software can be made online without rebooting the system.

The IEEE 1588 protocol is used to synchronise the clocks of the I/O components and the controller to within 100 microseconds via R, S, and T IONets.

External data is transferred to the controller’s control system database via R, S and T IONets.

Process inputs and outputs for the input/output modules are included.

The following are also included in a dual system:

Internal state values and initialisation information for the specified controller

State and synchronisation information for both controllers

Also includes the following in a triple-module redundant (TMR) system:

Internal state values for voting and status, and synchronisation information from all three controllers

Initialisation data from the specified controller

Advantages of the IS420UCSBH1A

The UCSB controller offers the following advantages:

A single module

Built-in power supply

No jumper settings required

No batteries

No fan

Smaller panel footprint

Flash memory can be easily updated

The UCSB controller is panel mounted and communicates with I/O components through an on-board I/O network (IONet) interface.

IONet is a private Ethernet network that supports only Mark control I/O modules and controllers.

Features

Microprocessor: 600 MHz Intel EP80579

Memory: 256 MB DDR2 SDRAM with Error Correcting Code (ECC), Flash support for SRAM, NAND flash size of 2 gigabytes

Operating System: QNX NeutrinoQNX Neutrino

Weight: 2.4 lbs

Mounting

The UCSB controller is mounted in a module that can be mounted directly to a panel metal plate.

The UCSB controller should be panel mounted to prevent vertical airflow through the heat sink.

WOC’s industrial automation hardware products include UCSB controller modules.
