1-1 Architecture
From the programmer’s point of view, a complete system is made up as in “
Figure
1.1 - Programming the sigmadue microPAC Control Unit”
below:

microPAC Control Unit
In “
Figure 1.1 - Programming the sigmadue microPAC Control Unit”
the configura-
tion station (VT100 terminal) and the PC with OpenPCS are displayed as two dif-
ferent devices, but it is possible to use just one PC to run both OpenPCS and a
VT100 emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal).
1-1-1 Communication ports
The CPU has 3 communication ports (
see
“
Figure 1.2 - Control Unit I/O and
Communication Ports
”):
• The Ethernet port (TCP/IP) will be used for the connection to the PC for:
- CPU configuration using a telnet session;
- Programming, debuging and commissioning;
- Modbus TCP data exchange;
• The optional Service RS232/485 port (connector X0) will be used as:
- Configuration port of the device with VT100 terminal;
- Standard ASCII serial port;
- Modbus RTU data exchange port.
• The optional RS485 port (connector X1) will be used as:
- Modbus RTU data exchange port.
Pinout of all communication ports is described hereafter and in:
