FACP FlexES Control FX2 (2 /10/18 loops)
Description
The Arduino Ethernet Shield allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet. It is based on the Wiznet W5100 ethernet chip providing a network (IP) stack capable of both TCP and UDP. The Arduino Ethernet Shield supports up to four simultaneous socket connections. Use the Ethernet library to write sketches which connect to the internet via a standard RJ45 Ethernet jack using the shield.
The latest revision of the shield adds a micro-SD card slot, which can be used to store files for serving over the network. It is compatible with the Arduino Uno and Mega (using the Ethernet library). You can access the on-board SD card slot using the SD library which is included in the current Arduino build.
The latest revision of the shield also includes a reset controller, to ensure that the W5100 Ethernet module is properly reset on power-up. Previous revisions of the shield were not compatible with the Mega and need to be manually reset after power-up. The reset button on the shield resets both the W5100 and the Arduino board.
Arduino communicates with both the W5100 and SD card using the SPI bus (through the ICSP header). This is on digital pins 11, 12, and 13 on the Duemilanove and pins 50, 51, and 52 on the Mega. On both boards, pin 10 is used to select the W5100 and pin 4 for the SD card. These pins cannot be used for general i/o. On the Mega, the hardware SS pin, 53, is not used to select either the W5100 or the SD card, but it must be kept as an output or the SPI interface won't work.
Basic set for assembly of a FACP with module slots and software support of 2 modules. The modular FACP FlexES Control concept offers three pre-configured, factory-made expansion units (FX2, FX10, FX18) for operating up to 2, 10 or 18 modules. The FlexES Control expansion can, however, also be adapted to individual requirements by using separately provided components. Depending on the system's design, it might be necessary to use an expansion housing unit for the batteries and an additional power supply unit. The FlexES system provides a Master & Slave Control Module (CPU), galvanically isolated loop modules and up to three cascadable and redundant Power Supply Units each with 150W (same or different main). As well it’s delivered with a dust filter, which is proven in use in typical applications with dust-laden environment and/or sanddust regions. System supports up to 254 digital loop addresses in total. Configuration is modularly expandable up to 10/18 loops by exchange of the CPU license and housing extensions.
