LEOMATIC
P59-USB
is a bidirectional converter USB-CANBus.
You may connect this module, with a standard USB-miniB cable,
directly to a host (PC or a user's panel) and then use its CANBus port as network to connect
any other SYSTEM5
module (P59, ...),
via a simple CAN twisted pair.
You may
so place any SYSTEM5 module along the machine, according to as
distributed architecture, while the only P59-USB is near the PC.
This allows a high-speed dialog between the host and distributed
modules, without the USB strict limitation in distance.
As option,
P59-USB may be supplied with some
integrated digital I/O
(8
inputs + 8 outputs),
which can be read/write by a custom software on the host (PC or
user's panel).
This version is particularly suitable for simple
automation problems or internal equipments, based on a standard PC
with a custom control software.
I/O can be anyway expanded
adding some P59 modules on the network (up to 16 P59 modules on the same CANBus network), for a total of 256 inputs
+ 256 outputs.

Brochure of introduction to SYSTEM5.pdf
• Bi-directional
converter USB-CANBus.
• Windows
98, 2000, XP, Vista compliant.
• Installing
a specific device-driver (supplied free-of-charge), the PC
"sees" the USB port as a standard serial port (COMx).
This allows the Leomatic protocol to work and makes easier to write
a custom control software.
• The
version with integrated I/O allows to read/write these I/O logic
state by the custom software on the PC, using an ActiveX component
(supplied by Leomatic free-of-charge).
• On
board firmware auto-diagnostic functions (error conditions).
• With
future firmware versions, it will be possible to download a small
logic program (PLC) on a single P59-USB module.
Hardware
• Microprocessor:
ATMEL at 40 MHz.
• Digital I/O
[option]
• 8
digital inputs, photo-coupled.
• 8
digital outputs, photo-coupled.
• Output
sections use solid-state components, granting protection against
short-circuits, over-temperatures, overloads, inversions of
filed-power polarities.
Electrical
• Power
requirements:
from the USB cable
• Digital I/O
[option]
• Galvanic
insulation of the field-ground and the logic-ground
(so insuring the maximum protection from electrical noises or
accidental damages).
Field-power requirements:
+24 Vdc nominal (min. +15, max. +30 Vdc)
• 8
Digital
inputs: PnP, +24 Vdc nominal
• 8
Digital
outputs: PnP, +24 Vdc nominal
(each output acts as
"current source" with a maximum fan-out of 500 mA)
Mechanical
• The
module is ready to mount on a standard DIN guide.
• Dimensions: 101 × 120 × 17,5 mm
• Front
panel is a transparent, elevating cover, so allowing the view of
on-board leds and the access to the configuration dip-switches.
• 3
leds to monitor module status and communication activities.
• 1
USB port: connector mini-B
• 1
CANBus port: removable clip, screw type
• Digital I/O
[option]
• Removable
clips, screw type, for I/O signals.
• 8
green leds + 8 red leds to show the current logic state of each
input and output.
