New Feature Announcement: Weintek iR-ETN Coupler Now Supports EtherNET/IP

Posted on by

EtherNet/IP is a leading industrial protocol supported by many PLCs and controllers, with this in mind, Weintek has added EtherNet/IP protocol support to their remote I/O coupler module, iR-ETN, allowing iR Series remote I/O to support EtherNet/IP. EtherNet/IP Communication ModesEtherNet/IP provides two communication modes to address different demands. Mode Implicit Messaging Explicit Messaging Transport Layer UDP TCP Exchange Mode Periodic Data Exchange Non-periodic Data Exchange Data is transferred using instructions Applicable Data Data that require immediacy PLC data accessed from the Host Parameter Configuration Architecture Scanner: Device that establishes the connection (PLC) Adapter: Device that provides the data (iR-ETN) The Continue reading New Feature Announcement: Weintek iR-ETN Coupler Now Supports EtherNET/IP→

New Product Announcement: iR-PU01-P -Weintek Single Axis Motion Control Module

Posted on by

Having invested heavily in research to develop an easy-to-use, integrated motion control solution, Weintek have launched the iR-PU01-P, a single axis motion control module to their iR Series of remote i/o. This new module works with existing iR Series communication couplers to control stepper/servo motors, making it great for applications requiring positioning control, such as packaging and filling machines, measurement systems, printing machines, tension controllers and conveyor systems. With the release of iR-PU01-P, Weintek also provide a library of motion control function blocks for use within CODESYS. By connecting a cMT HMI’s CODESYS with the iR-COP+iR-PU01-P via CANopen, these motion Continue reading New Product Announcement: iR-PU01-P -Weintek Single Axis Motion Control Module→

New Product Announcement: New CPU, PSUs and Analogue i/o for the Productivity1000

Posted on by

We’re pleased to announce that the excellent Productivity1000 range has been expanded with the addition of a new CPU (P1-550) two new power supply modules (P1-01DC & P1-02AC), five new analogue modules, (P1-04AD, P1-08ADL-1, P1-08ADL-2, P1-08DAL-1 & P1-08DAL-2), and two new speciality modules – High Speed Counter & Pulse-Width Modulation (P1-02HSC & P1-04PWM). Productivity1000 I/O modules are auto-discovered and easily added or removed. QR (Quick Response) codes are printed on each module linking to latest specs and wiring. New CPUThe new P1-550 CPU boasts up to 50 MB ladder memory, microSD card slot, 2 Ethernet 10/100Base-T ports (vs 1 on Continue reading New Product Announcement: New CPU, PSUs and Analogue i/o for the Productivity1000→

New Product Announcement – iR-ECAT EtherCAT Communication Coupler

Posted on by

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a high performance and very efficient Ethernet-based Fieldbus, thanks to these advantages, it is one of the most widely adopted industrial Ethernet technologies and has gradually become a standard communication interface in industry. Responding to the increasing demand for EtherCAT, Weintek are releasing a new iR Series EtherCAT communication coupler, iR-ECAT, to facilitate the integration of iR Series I/O modules into EtherCAT applications.

New Product Annoucement – Analog and Temperature Modules For Weintek iR Series i/o

Posted on by

Earlier in 2018, Weintek released a high-efficiency control solution: HMI+CODESYS+I/O Module, which has received positive feedback from customers. To make it a more complete solution, Weintek has developed new modules for the iR Series modules: Analog I/O modules and a Temperature module. iR Series i/o combined with a CODESYS enabled HMI can take care of complex tasks that traditionally would have required a separate PLC – saving you both time and money. The new four new iR Series Analog Modules are: iR-AI04-VI 4 channel Analog Input iR-AQ04-VI 4 channel Analog Output iR-AM06-VI 4 channel Analog Input + 2 channel Analog Continue reading New Product Annoucement – Analog and Temperature Modules For Weintek iR Series i/o→
