Features

 

Function Description
Digital I/O
 
The RPC-150 has 47 digital I/O lines to interface with 0-5V switch and sensor inputs and provide logic level outputs.   Seven of these lines also drive relays, lamps, and other loads rated up to 50V and 250 mA.  You can use eight of the 47 lines for the keypad port.  If you are not using a keypad, these lines are available for general use.

A CMA-26 cable connects to a MPS series opto rack or STB-26 terminal board. 

Serial Ports  
The two RS-232 serial ports interface with modems, displays, scales, printers, terminals, smart instruments, and other serial devices.  The ports have fully programmable baud rates, stop bits, and parity.  CAMBASIC buffers input characters so none are missed.  Printed characters transmit in the background while the program continues.

Flash EPROM Programmer
The RPC-150 has an integral EPROM programmer for saving programs.  You can store approximately 800 lines of CAMBASIC code in a 32K EPROM.  The "SAVE" command stores the program in flash EPROM for autorun on power-up. 

Fast Setup - Begin programming in 5 minutes

There are no programs to install.   Simply run a terminal program (such as Windows Terminal, Hyperterm(r), Procomm(r), ect).  Windows Terminal and Hyper Terminal are included with Windows.

Set the baud rate and port and your PC is set up.  Connect a cable from the card to the PC.  Apply power to the board.  You will get a sign on message like the one shown below.

You can begin to program immediately.  Run the sample programs supplied with the card.  Begin scanning a keypad, opto module, control a motor,  or do calculations as desired right away.  In less than 5 minutes you can begin programming.
