Introduction:
The μPAC-7186EX is a palm size programmable automation controller that with Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485 communication. ICPDAS provide easy-to-use software development tool kits (Xserver, VxComm, Modbus libraries). Users can use them to easily integrate serial devices to have Ethernet/Internet communication ability and through the standard Modbus protocol to communicate with SCADA software (Indusoft, ISaGARF, DasyLab, Trace Mode, Citect, iFix, etc.). For the hardware, it also supports an I/O expansion bus. The I/O expansion bus can be used to implement various I/O functions such as D/I, D/O, A/D, D/A, Timer/Counter, UART, flash memory, battery backup SRAM, AsicKey & other I/O functions. Nearly all kinds of I/O functions can be implemented by this bus but the bus can support only one board. There are more than 30 boards available for μPAC-7186EX, you can one of them to expand hardware features.
