HMI + Remote I/O + CODESYS

Select Maple HMIs have a sleek hardware platform that runs both an HMI application created with EBpro and PLC logic programmed with CODESYS; each on its own dedicated processor. Unlike the typical multicore set up, where the operating system scheduler is responsible for allocating tasks to each processor, these HMIs have a hard separation between cores. One core is dedicated to the HMI application, the other to executing PLC logic of the CODESYS project. This ensures taxing graphics processing operations will not interfere with deterministic real time control tasks executing on the other processor.

After selecting your HMI, choose from a suite of easy to use powerful I/O modules to connect to your field equipment. We offer a complete set of I/O modules which can be combined with any of three communication couplers to create a remote I/O block.

Getting Started

Combine the power of CODESYS with one of our CODESYS capable HMIs and Modular IO to create an innovative control solution that can tackle the most demanding applications. This unique architecture saves time, hardware cost, communication cabling, and valuable control cabinet real estate, without compromising on the CPU resources real time applications require. See our project example below and get started building your solution today!

1

Select Controller or your HMI

Choose either a stand-alone Controller or one of our innovative multi-core CPU HMIs with CODESYS. 2 cores are dedicated to running the CODESYS runtime while the other 2 can run a full EBPro HMI application. Add up to 16 IO modules.  Contact sales if you are looking to add a CODESYS license to an existing HMI.  Refer to specific datasheets for supported models.

2

Select Your Communication Coupler

iR Communication Couplers have three interface protocols to choose from: Modbus TCP, CANopen and EtherCAT all of which seamlessly integrate into your EBPro and CODESYS Projects.



3

Select Your I/O Modules

Easy to use reliable IO modules complete the connection to your field equipment. Attach up to 16 IO modules to a coupler. Select from analog, digital, temperature or motion control i/o modules.



4

Get Your CODESYS Activation Card

We’ve already activated the CODESYS license on our HMI-enabled models.  Selecting a CODESYS enabled cMT HMI with activated CODESYS license creates a powerful HMI + I/O controller by allowing the HMI to run IEC 61131-3 programming logic, and handle all the data processing, and reading/writing to applicable I/O modules.  Contact sales for stand-alone CODESYS licenses to pair with your existing cMT HMI (select models only) and How to Activate CODESYS on cMT Models.

Example Setup:

As example consider creating a control system for a high temperature gas kiln. The system requirements might include:

  1. Large touchscreen display, remotely mounted.
  2. Several digital inputs to monitor safety interlocks and manual switches.
  3. Digital outputs to control warning lights valves and an ignitor.
  4. Analog inputs used to monitor gas flow.
  5. Temperature inputs to monitor several thermocouples.

This system could be implemented with the following equipment:

  1. cMT3092Xv2-CODESYS – a 9.7″ touchscreen HMI with a CODESYS license that will run the HMI project and the CODESYS control logic.
  2. iR-ETN coupler to create a remote IO block connected to CODESYS using Modbus TCP.
  3. The following IO modules to connect to field devices:
    • iR-DM16-P – 8 digital inputs and 8 sourcing digital outputs
    • iR-AM06-VI – 4 analog input channels and 2 analog outputs
    • iR-AI04-TR – 4 RTD / Thermocouple inputs

Explore Our Case Studies & Applications

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

Early on, these types of systems were built using proprietary hardware and software, operating in isolation without connections to other networks. operators had to reside in a centralized control room or command center because human-machine interfaces (HMIs) did not support remote access. Any information provided to personnel other than operators was delivered via reports, which often had a significant time lag. Once devices were connected to much larger networks, they became more complex and gained broad capabilities.
