Ascii, Computer and Network Interface

ASCII is a code for representing text in computers and networking. It represents letters, numbers, and symbols with 7- or 8-bit codes. When keys are pressed on a keyboard, the computer stores the corresponding ASCII code which allows it to process the input. ASCII modules then convert this code so it can be understood by PLCs. Networks allow multiple devices like PLCs to communicate over local areas using common protocols and interface modules that implement the necessary connections and ensure accurate message passing. Common networks include Ethernet, Fieldbus, and proprietary manufacturer networks.

ASCII,COMPUTER

AND NETWORK
INTERFACE
ASCII CODE

 ASCII stands for American Standard Code for


Information Interchange.

 It is an alphanumeric code because it includes letters


as well as numbers.

 It is used to interface the PLC CPU with


alphanumeric keyboards and printers.
ASCII codes includes:

 26 lower case.

 26 upper case.

 25 special characters[@,#,$,%,*,+.-.(,= and so on].


Process of ASCII:

 The key on the keyboard of a computer are


converted directly into ASCII for processing by the
computer.
 Each time you press a keyboard, a 7 bit or 8-bit word
stored in the computer memory to represent by the
alphanumeric, function, or control data represented
by the specific key that was depressed.
 ASCII modules convert the ASCII code information
to PLC can process information.
 The communication interfacing is done through
either an RS-232 or RS-422 protocol.
 Modules are available that will transmit and receive
ASCII files and that can be used to create an operator
interface.
 The user writes a program in the BASIC language
that operates in conjunction with the ladder logic as
the program runs.
FUZZY LOGIC INTERFACE
 Fuzzy logic interfaces, which are offered by a few PLC
manufacturers, provide a way of implementing fuzzy
logic algorithms in PLC’s.
 Fuzzy logic algorithms analyse input data to provide
control of a process.
 They work with other input and output interfaces,
providing an intelligent link between the two.
NETWORK INTERFACING MODULE
 It’s allow a number of PLCs and other intelligent
devices to communicate and pass PLC data over a
high speed local area communication network.

 Any device may interface with the network.

 Because, The network is not restricted to only


products designed by the networks manufacturer.
MOST POPULAR NETWORKS:

 Device-level bus networks (e.g., CAN bus, Seriplex,


etc.), which are used by discrete devices
 Process field networks (e.g., Fieldbus and Profibus),
which are used by analog devices
 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 networks, used by PLC
CPUs and computers
 Proprietary networks, which are widely used by
large PLC manufacturers
A standard PLC local area network:
A PLC local area network with CAN bus (device bus) and Fieldbus
(process bus) sub networks:
 A network interface module implements all of the
necessary communication connections and
protocols to ensure that a message is accurately
passed along the network.

 network interface transmits the message over the


network at the networks baud rate speed.

 The speed and protocol for the communication link


varies depending on the network.
COMMUNICATION MEDIA:

 twin axial.
 coaxial.
 twisted-pair.

 Depending on the network type and configuration, a


network module can be connected, at a distance of
up to 10,000 feet, with 100 to 1000 devices (nodes).
