DL205 Flow Chart programmed CPUs (WinPLC System)Products | PACs, PLCs, PC Control, Field I/O | DirectLOGIC PLC's | DirectLogic 205 and WinPLC | DL205 Flow Chart programmed CPUs (WinPLC System)  WinPLC SystemThe WinPLC provides a Windows® CE operating system environment in our DL205 CPU hardware. The small size and low cost of DL205 products is desirable, but the operating systems of the D2-230, 240, 250-1 and 260 CPUs are proprietary (like most PLCs).
WinPLC provides a hybrid PC-PLC solution that brings the best of the PLC and PC control worlds together.
A WinPLC system is the best solution if your applications require:- Complex math
- Heavy serial communications (can use the H2-SERIO module)
- Advanced data manipulation
- Advanced handling of string or array data
- Up to 64 PID loops
The WinPLC module plugs into the CPU slot of the DL205 PLC base. WinPLC uses Windows CE, a real-time operating system, with the advantages of PC software such as OPC, ActiveX and the other Microsoft communication tools.- Backplane communications to DL205 I/O
- 100MHz processor speed
- 8 Mb ROM/ 8 Mb RAM for memory-intensive applications
- Microsoft® Windows® CE operating system
- Supports MODBUS RTU and MODBUS TCP (slave only)
The WinPLC offers both deterministic control and PC connectivity. Control, data management, communication and integration with business systems are easy with the WinPLC's advanced software development tools.
Develop projects for the WinPLC with the free download of Think & Do version 8.0.4 or greater. No key is required to develop for or program the WinPLC.
For qualified OEMs or software developers, the WinPLC comes in a CE-only version for VB and C++ programmers to develop their own control code. If you are interested in the CE-only version, visit www.hosteng.com for details. | PC-based control with a WinPLC

| Note: If you are purchasing this product as part of a system with no DL205 CPU, and do not require a D2-USER-M manual, you should order or download the D2-INST-M manual, which covers installation and I/O specifications of DL205 base and I/O products.

|  H2-SERIO Serial Communications Module- Do you need serial communications ports in addition to the built-in serial port on the WinPLC?
- Do you need to connect to multiple C-more, C-micro or other operator interface or display panels?
- Would you like to connect devices such as barcode readers, weight scales or serial modems to your WinPLC system?
If so, then select the H2-SERIO serial communications module. This module is used exclusively with the WinPLC. Up to nine additional serial ports can be added to a WinPLC system by using the H2-SERIO serial communication module.
Protocols supported
The H2-SERIO module supports serial ASCII communications and can also serve a MODBUS RTU slave.
Up to ten serial ports
The WinPLC has one built-in serial port. Each H2-SERIO module has three serial ports on board. Up to three H2-SERIO modules can be used per WinPLC system. That’s a total of ten serial ports that can be used in one WinPLC system to handle all of your serial communications needs.
Separate communication parameters for each port
Use Entivity ThinknDo software packages to set baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits for each serial port. Choose from 300 to 57,600 baud communication speeds. Entivity Studio or Think & Do Live allows each port to be designated as a MODBUS slave or a generic serial device. Each port on the H2–SERIO module is capable of full hardware handshaking.
NOTE: While the H2-SERIO module will support virtually any serial device, processing large amounts of serial data will increase the system response time. This is important to consider when using multiple H2-SERIO modules, especially in a WinPLC local base with an H2-ERM or H2-CTRIO module.

| Notes
| Note: Manuals do not come with our products unless specified in the description. Download manual from our web site at no charge, or order manual separately.Note: New option modules may not be supported by CPUs purchased prior to the modules release. You can refer to the module specification page on our Web site for this information or find it in our catalog. Be sure to check for the latest firmware for your PLC. Here is the direct link to the Firmware Upgrade section of our Web site where you can find the firmware revision histories, the latest files and tools required to download the firmware into your CPU.Note: Power budget limitations restrict the number of modules allowed in the slots of DL205 bases. Please consult the power budgeting tables in your manual or catalogue for specific calculations. Calculate the power budget |
