Performance and system design freedom

The high-speed EtherCAT fieldbus on the iE 350 PLC is fast enough to handle distributed I/O with

one main controller and hundreds of distributed analogue and digital I/O and communication

channels in multiple locations. You get the same update speed for local and distributed I/O nodes in an

external network.

The system software launches very quickly and offers fail-safe start-up with two operating

system images separated from the application. If one image fails to start up the iE 350 PLC,

the controller falls back to the other image and completes start-up.

Each image can be updated remotely. After a successful start-up after an image update,

the new image can be set as active. The iE 350 PLC uses a special file system that tolerates

sudden loss of power and monitors itself for errors.

The high-performance features of the iE 350 PLC also include direct 690 VAC 3-phase grid measurement,

allowing you to measure voltage and frequency in a wide range from 2 to 897 VAC.

Flexible solution design options

The modular architecture of the iE 350 PLC allows you to use it for compact, flexible,

and service-friendly solutions – from simple plug-and-play rack modules to cabling with pluggable

connectors.

Its native EtherCAT fieldbus supports several hundreds of I/O points through a modular concept

with distributed nodes based on EtherCAT and supporting EtherCAT cable redundancy.

As a result, you have complete freedom to place multiple I/O nodes in different physical

locations to reduce cabling, and the built-in 5-port switch of the PCM3.1 module can be configured

with individual VLANs, saving the cost of external equipment.

The fully open Linux software platform gives you full access to system setup,

and you can take advantage of the great amounts of Linux documentation and support available online.

The controller is based on CODESYS V3 and supports IEC 61131-3 programming.

This ensures easy programming and configuration, and you can easily reuse existing PLC code

if converting from other PLC solutions, giving you complete freedom to choose your preferred hardware

vendor.

You can configure the iE 350 PLC remotely using a browser. The device is discoverable using its host

name,and remote visualisation is possible via TCP/IP.

Despite these flexible hardware and software options, installing the iE 350 PLC is very easy:

It comes pre-assembled in racks according to your configuration requirements.

You do not have to assemble the controller yourself and can complete your sourcing process without

assembly and testing.

Robust right out of the box

The iE 350 PLC is designed to get the job done, even in harsh conditions.

Fully functional from -40 °C, the controller can start-up by self-heating and

control and do surveillance of auxiliary equipment from this extreme temperature.

The base-mounted rack and sturdy metal cabinet give it superior bump, 50G shock,

and vibration resistance properties during operation and transportation.

For example, the rack is mounted with a large screw on the switchboard’s back plate,

so that the unit cannot fall off the DIN rails after transportation.

The flanges ensure improved grounding, increasing protection against electrical disturbances.

The backplane interconnection of the I/O modules ensures reliable communication 

in harsh environments. Built-in components provide efficient protection of power

 supply and I/O circuits against lightning impacts. The iE 350 PLC is immune to ESD

bursts at a level conforming to international standards, reducing the risk of damaged terminals.

All units are fully production tested and verified at the factory through HALT

(Highly Accelerated Life Testing), and the Linux-based platform provides fail-safe

and robust system software. These and other features add up to a lifetime of

at least 10 years for the iE 350 PLC, plus supreme robustness which reduces service and downtime costs.

Unpacking

The XL/BW/BRW-2 indicators are delivered in a cardboard box. To protect the indicator, it is important to

store it in the box until mounting.

The indicators are protected against ESD (static electricity). Therefore, in the process of mounting and

wiring of the indicator, no special attention towards ESD is needed.

For the XL types, the box also contains a number of fixing clamps. The exact number of clamps depends

on the indicator size and the degree of IP protection.

If the indicator is mounted for IP66 protection, a gasket (blue) for IP66 protection will be included. The

contents should be as described in the table below.

For bulkhead mounted types (BW/BRW-2), the box also contains a bracket with two 8 x 12 mm screws for

fixing the bracket on the bulkhead box (5 mm Allen key).

Introduction

This document gives guidelines for mounting, connecting and commissioning the XL or BW/BRW-2

instruments. XL and BW/BRW-2 instruments are different from the well-known instruments based on a

moving

coil system. The XL and BW/BRW-2 instruments are based on a so-called x-coil system with a rotating

magnet placed in the centre of two coils surrounding the magnet. The combination of a microcontroller

and the

cross coil system forms a unique instrument with a very high linearity. The major difference, compared

with the

traditional instruments based on a moving coil system, is that the XL and BW/BRW-2 instruments must be

connected to a 24 Vdc supply. This supply is power for the built-in electronics. Because the XL and

BW/BRW-2

instruments are based on a microcontroller, it is now possible also to use data communication as input

instead of traditional analogue current or voltage signals.
