  • Page 7: About This Device

    About this device Product information ZX20T, ZX20TP and ZX20TC are high speed industrial programmable logic control- lers (PLCs). They can be used as stand-alone PLCs or in a network as decentralized PLCs for parallel processing of signals in real time. This is made possible by the heart of every ZX-control: A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

  • Page 8: Appropriate Use

    Operating Manual ZX20T/TP/TC Appropriate use The ZX20T, ZX20TP and ZX20TC PLCs have been designed for the use in ma- chines and plants for industrial use. They must be installed in switch cabinets or appropriate housings with minimum protection class of IP54. The approved operating parameters for use must be complied with (see paragraph 12 "Technical Data").

    Operating Manual ZX20T/TP/TC Safety against failures The operating voltage L+ / M is reverse polarity protected. All the digital outputs are short-circuit protected. Warning: The switching capacity specifications given in chapter 12 „Technical data“ must be observed. In case of overload, the output drivers could be de- stroyed.

  • Page 15: Inputs

    Operating Manual ZX20T/TP/TC Inputs All the device variants "ZX20T", “ZX20TP” and "ZX20TC" have 20 digital inputs. These are accessible via the lower two terminal blocks „Digital Input 01..20“. The inputs do not have a galvanic isolation to the voltage supply, which means their 0 V reference potential is identical with the 0 V potential of the voltage supply (terminal "M").

  • Page 16: Digital Inputs

    Operating Manual ZX20T/TP/TC 5.5.1 Digital Inputs The connection of the digital inputs is shown in fig. 8 A and 8 B. Sensors which generate a digital signal, can be connected to the terminals "Digital Input 01..20", demonstrated here by simple switches. These can be supplied either by the operating voltage supply or by a separate voltage supply.

    PDF file on the USB memory stick, enclosed within the program package. Every ZX20T, ZX20TP or ZX20TC PLC has got a label with the corresponding MAC address (see fig. 10). This label can be found right beneath the voltage supply. With the MAC address the PLC can be identified within the network.

  • Page 21: Networking

    Networking Networking via Ethernet Several ZX20T, ZX20TP or ZX20TC controllers as well as other Zander controllers can be connected via the Ethernet interface and exchange data in the form of a distributed control system. In this network, all controllers are equivalent, which corre- sponds to multimaster operation.
