- PLC Programmable logic controllers
- Controllers that are currently used for goods or service machines are usually used text displays with a matrix in which each individual matrix point must be controlled individually and therefore requires its own line between the controller and the display.
- the use of a PLC also makes it possible to save development costs. If the design of a proprietary controller, the individual wiring and circuits have to be developed, so SPS are ready-made available and must be operated for use in a commodity or service machine only with a customized software. This includes the addition of additional features, including a completely new proprietary one for a proprietary controller
- the invention was based on the object, an assembly for a goods or service machines and a controller for a goods or service machines and a goods or service machines to make it even easier to use a programmable logic controller (PLC) in a goods or service machine.
- PLC programmable logic controller
- the invention is based on the basic idea to provide an assembly for a goods or service machines, with the existing in the industry, a variety of sensors and / or actuators for goods or service machines that use a foreign protocol for their communication via signal lines, to a controllable Control can be connected.
- the essential task of the module is to generate from a coded according to the foreign protocol signal coded according to a PLC protocol signal so that this signal can be supplied to the PLC.
- the module according to the invention has a foreign protocol input for connecting a signal line of a sensor and / or an actuator to the module.
- a signal line can be connected to the connection with which the sensor and / or actuator of the module can transmit a signal coded according to a foreign protocol and / or receive a signal coded according to the foreign protocol from the module.
- the foreign protocol input is designed for the connection of the signal line.
- the external protocol input is a socket, in a preferred embodiment a socket for an RJ45 (Western plug) plug.
- a terminal block to which a wire or to a group of wires can be connected, wherein the terminal block in the connection of a group of wires, in particular preferably has a plurality of terminals.
- the module according to the invention has an output for connecting a signal line of a programmable logic controller to the module.
- the module of the PLC transmits a signal coded according to a PLC protocol, or receives a signal coded according to the PLC protocol from the PLC.
- the output may be a socket, in a preferred embodiment a socket for an RJ45 plug.
- the output is designed so that it can be connected to a bus system of a PLC.
- serial In microcontroller technology, there are essentially two ways to communicate. On the one hand serial, on the other parallel. In the known PLC data between the components of a PLC (between the central processing unit and the associated modules) is usually transmitted via a serial interface.
- serial data transmission digital data is transmitted bit by bit in succession.
- parallel data transmission multiple bits are transmitted at once (i.e., simultaneously), and the bit and byte orders at the receiver must be the same as at the transmitter.
- serial transmission different serial interfaces are normalized.
- TxD Transmitted Data
- the data is sent serially via this line.
- RxD (Reveived Data) is the receiving line of the computer. The data is received serially via this line.
- the assembly has connection elements for fastening the assembly to a DIN rail.
- PLCs are often mounted on DIN rails. If such a DIN rail anyway provided for mounting the PLC in a goods or service machines, so it is recommended that this hat rail also be used to attach the assembly of the invention to her.
- the module according to the invention has a communication processor which can generate a signal coded according to the PLC protocol from a signal received via the foreign protocol input and encoded according to the foreign protocol and can output this via the output. Additionally or alternatively, the communication processor from a signal received via the output, coded according to the PLC protocol signal generate a foreign protocol coded signal and output via the foreign protocol input.
- the communication processor has a table stored in a memory. This table can be used by the communication processor to translate a signal coded in a foreign protocol into a signal coded according to a PLC protocol.
- Each signal protocol contains information at a particular location of the particular signal and in the form of a typical protocol state, for example, by the presence of a signal edge at a particular location on the signal or by a particular signal value (eg, 0 or 1) at a particular state Place of the signal.
- the table enables the communications processor to translate the presence of a particular waveform at a particular location of the signal into a particular waveform at a particular location of a signal to be generated in another protocol. For example, in the case of a sensor designed as a coin validator, a signal can be generated which has a signal edge at a specific point of the signal.
- the table stored in the memory then indicates that an edge present at this position of the signal is to be translated, for example, into the value "1" at a specific point of the signal to be newly generated according to the PLC protocol then a signal which contains the value corresponding to the table entry at the point of the signal corresponding to the entry of the table according to the PLC protocol.
- the complexity of the table depends on the type and quantity of sensors and / or actuators connected to the module. If, for example, the module is only used to transmit the signals originating from a coin validator and coded in a foreign protocol into a signal coded according to a PLC protocol, then it suffices to include in the table the (few) possible positions and values in the foreign protocol to list encoded signal and to assign them a position and a waveform in the signal to be generated according to the SPS protocol, for which in the signal according to the foreign protocol coded coin-correlating information is to be expected.
- the communications processor has an exchangeable, nonvolatile memory.
- the communication processor has an exchangeable EE-Prom.
- the table is stored in the removable, non-volatile memory. This allows a simplification of the manufacturing process of the assembly. This can always have the same basic structure and be prepared solely by inserting a non-volatile memory provided with a corresponding table for the respective use.
- the foreign protocol is one of the following protocols: Pulse, MDB (Multidrop Bus), ccTalk, CAN (Controller Area Network), USB (Universal Serial Bus), Protocol A (Executive Protocol), BDV, eSSP (Smiley-Secure Protocol), RS232, EIA-485 (RS485), IEEE 1284.
- the external protocol "pulse” is the simplest way to exchange a signal, namely by means of a pulse.
- a signal sent via the signal line sends, for example, a series of pulses, depending on the value of the banknote or the coin Euro banknote five pulses are sent consecutively, while for a 10 euro banknote ten pulses are sent consecutively.
- the foreign protocol MDB or multidrop bus is a machine interface that is used to connect coin changers, banknote readers or even cashless payment systems.
- the standard was issued by the American National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) and defines both the physical interface (electrical specification) and the communication process between the participants. Communication is based on the master-slave principle. All slaves are connected to Master-Transmit with optocouplers. All slaves are connected in parallel with Master-Receive via an open-collector circuit and are again galvanically isolated by means of optocouplers.
- the transmission rate may be 9600 bps, for example. For example, 32 slaves can be addressed.
- the master polls the slaves, which excludes bus collisions.
- MDB can be used as serial transmission with RxD and TxD with 9600 baud and start, stop and parity bit. Ideally, when using such a foreign protocol, the levels will be adjusted accordingly.
- Cctalk foreign protocol comes from Coin Control and was used in the early 1960s for coin validation.
- Cctalk is a protocol for the serial port, which was developed for communication between computers and payment devices (coin validator and note reader).
- the external protocol CAN also known as CAN bus, is an asynchronous, serial bus system and belongs to fieldbuses. In order to reduce the wiring harnesses and thereby save weight, the CAN bus was developed in 1983 for the networking of control units in automobiles and introduced in 1987. CAN is internationally standardized as ISO 11898 and defines layer 1 (physical layer) and 2 (backup layer) in the ISO / OSI reference model.
- USB Universal Serial Bus
- Devices equipped with USB or storage media can be connected during operation (hot-plugging) and connected devices and their properties are automatically detected.
- the foreign protocol "Protocol A” is also known as "Executive Protocol". This protocol was developed in the early 1980s by Mars Electronics International between peripherals on electronically controlled machines. The final Protocol A specification is published by Mars Electronics International. The transaction is controlled within the coin change and prices can be entered in the machine or in the coin changer. Over the years, the interface developed around the addition of cashless products.
- the foreign protocol eSSP (Smiley Secure Protocol) ensures the protection and reliability of the data transferred between Validator and host computer.
- the key is 128 bits long and is divided into two parts. The lower 64 bits are set by the machine builder so that manufacturers can control which devices can be used in their devices. The upper 64 bits regulate the data exchange between the connected components.
- the foreign protocol RS232 is a standard for a computer-based serial interface, which was developed in the early 1960s by the US Standards Committee Electronic Industries Association (EIA). Mainframes and text terminals were joined to the early 1990s with the help of modems through point-to-point connections over the telephone lines. The transmission of data in both systems was sequential.
- EIA 485 (Electronic Industries Association) also called RS-485, is an interface standard for digital, wired, differential, serial data transmission. Due to the symmetric signal transmission, EIA-485 is characterized by a high tolerance to electromagnetic interference. EIA-485 uses a pair of wires to transmit the inverted and non-inverted levels of a 1-bit data signal. At the receiver, the original data signal is reconstructed from the difference between the two voltage levels. This has the advantage that common-mode interference does not affect the transmission and thus the interference immunity is increased.
- the foreign protocol IEEE 1284 is used for parallel interfaces. In the case of data transmission via a parallel interface, several bits are transmitted in parallel, in contrast to the serial interface, in which the bits are transmitted one after the other.
- a signal line having an RJ45 plug is connected to the external protocol input and the one end of the signal line opposite the RJ45 plug has a socket which is different from a socket for an RJ45 plug RJ45 connector has different connector.
- Such a signal line can be used as an adapter for existing sensors or actuators in the industry. These sometimes have no RJ45 plug.
- the sensors existing in the industry can be inserted with their respective plug into the socket adapted to the plug and the individual wires of the signal line of the sensors existing in the industry and / or Actuators can be placed on the individual wires of an RJ45 connector.
- the socket provided at the opposite end of the signal line can also be a terminal strip. If sensors and / or actuators existing in the industry are used whose wires do not terminate in a plug but are designed as exposed wires, then the respective wire of the signal line of the sensor and / or actuator can be connected to the terminal via the connection of the wires to the terminal strip Wire of an RJ45 plug.

- UDFs are in symbolic programming languages like FUP or LAD available.
- the graphically oriented programming language uses in its representation the logic symbols of Boolean algebra.
- the syntax of a UDF must conform to the syntax of the underlying language, and predefined standard functions and other UDFs can be used in the definition.
- As a function a UDF must provide exactly one return value. Unlike a stored procedure, a UDF can not be started as a program.
- the UDF written especially for the use of the module contains the entire communication between the module and the other components as well as the logic of the PLC.
