DM16 – DIN with 16 DIO

Product Information

• Description

  

  The SPLat DIN Family of controllers are an ideal solution for any job that needs a cheap programmable PLC inside a cabinet. Each product in the DIN Family is a fully programmable controller, so it can either be used by itself or wired up with other family members to get more I/O.

  The DM16 is a cheap and quick way to 16 digital I/O lines into a cabinet. But wait, there’s more as this board also has 2 on-board analogue inputs, each fully configurable for current (0 – 20mA), voltage (0 – 10V) or temperature (using a thermistor).

  Use this controller alone, or join it to the DC216 with a display or DR8 with 8 relays to get even more I/O capability.

  Programming is done via a standard USB Mini-B cable and the IDE is completely free.

• Features

  • Fully programmable SPLat controller with all the latest, relevant SPLat features.
  • Network it with 2 wires to other DIN Family members for expanded I/O
  • 8 –> 30 VDC operation, ~70mA maximum at 24 VDC
  • 16 x digital I/O lines, 2 Amps each as outputs (Max 16 Amps total ground current)
  • 2 x analogue inputs (voltage or current or temperature)
  • USB programming port (mini B)
  • 1 programmable bi-colour LED (red/green)
  • RS485 interface. Use for MODBUS, Xwire or your own protocol
  • TTL Xwire interface
  • TTL serial interface
  • Configurable DIP switches
  • Connects to any SPLat controller with latest Xwire drivers
  • Dimensions: 68mm x 118mm (2.7″ x 4.65″) in DIN holder
  • Has mounting holes for DIN-less mounting

• USB

  A DIN-rail-mounted 16 I/O device designed to operate mostly as a SEXI slave.=================
  == Version 4.4 ==
  =================
  25 June 2020
  - Simplified SPLat code to single version.=================
  == Version 4.3 ==
  =================
  28 April 2020
  - Restored 1806 and 1808 to the same I/O map and Xwire signals.
  - Re-built both variants with current system changes, including NVEM3.
  - Removed Quadrature initialisation from 1806 variant so analog output 0 could work.==============================
  == Version 4.3 (unreleased) ==
  ==============================
  25 October 2019 (never released, never tagged)
  - Work in progress on extended outputs for 1808 version, not working=================
  == Version 4.2 ==
  =================
  16 April 2019
  - First pass of 1808 version.
  
  =================
  == Version 4.1 ==
  =================
  25Oct2018
  - DM16: can now drive outputs 7, 8, 9 as either digital or analogue
  - VM: added generic module for driving outputs as either analogue or digital
  - VM: suspend and resume were using little endian rather than big endian, never caused a problem, only a train spotter would notice.
  - VM: UVtoNV wasn't working right as it was ignoring the "offset", so now modified for use in ARM meaning V must be explicitly set, it won't use NVRecLen to allow for a more flexible instruction.
  - VM: added support for OBLCD_HGraph, OBLCD_CursorOff, OBLCD_CursorOn, OBLCD_CursorBlink. These also work over Xwire, both as master and as slave.

  == Version 4.0 ==

  - First release
