Smarteh LPC-2.MC9 User Manual - 2 Description
Longo programmable controller LPC-2.MC9
2 DESCRIPTION
LPC-2.MC9 Smarteh flagship controller offers improved performance, scalability and a wide range of
new features within a single compact SOM based package. Simple and innovative concept, where
most competitors require multiple products to deliver similar functionality. Main module based on
ARM architecture processor running Linux based operating system (OS) adds more computing power,
more control and additional interface connection offering capability for future core SOM module
upgrade without hardware changes.
In addition, LPC-2.MC9 is designed to connect additional input, output modules on the left
(connector K2) and communication modules on right bus (connector K1).
LPC-2.MC9 has integrated USB programming and debugging port, connection for intelligent
peripheral modules and Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP port for network connectivity. It can be used as a
stand-alone controller or connected to remote input/output devices via the CANopen interface. This
interface also allows you to communicate with other main modules (with a CANopen interface).
LPC controller and hardware configuration is done using Smarteh IDE programming software, used to
design user configuration selecting from a wide range of module (up to 7
1
) in a single configuration.
This software provides you with a simple entry in the IEC programming languages such as:
•
Instruction List (IL)
•
Function Block Diagram (FBD)
•
Ladder Diagram (LD)
•
Structured Text (ST)
•
Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
This provides a large number of operators such as:
•
Logic operators such as AND, OR, ...
•
Arithmetic operators such as ADD, MUL, ...
•
Comparison operators such as
Programming software is used to create test and document a project. Functions for analog
processing, closed-loop control and function blocks such as timers and counters simplify
programming.

Some modules are subject to power consumption and number limitation, this limitations are handled directly in the Smarteh
IDE not allowing users to add more modules.
