Another new item is an even more advanced feature: branching – a conditional jump via which the program jumps to a specific code-line depending on the result of a comparison of 2 registers.
The user-interface is still the familiar point-and-click method of programming, and therefore incredible easy to use.
In all, a total of 16 different command types are now available as well as Remarks and Binary Commands
With it’s 8 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs and 1 analog input the Nano-PLC-module is particularly well suited for stand-alone solutions and as intelligent slave in larger systems. As a slave the module can receive serial commands, e.g. move instructions, and at the same time checking locally connected signals – typically coming from sensors.
The nano-PLC module is available in 3 hardware models: with SubD connector (MAC00-R1), with cable glands (MAC00-R3), and with M12 connectors (MAC00-R4). All 3 modules have 8 Digital Inputs, 4 Digital Outputs and 1 Analogue Input.
