Modules

The SLC 500 family offers a variety

of modules for specialty applications

which all fit directly into the SLC chassis.

1746-BAS, 1746-BAS-T BASIC Modules

The 1746-BAS and 1746-BAS-T modules, which are programmed using the

BASIC language, add additional functionality to any SLC 500 application.

The BASIC modules can be programmed with the BASIC development

software PBASE. This software, which runs on computers running MS-DOS,

facilitates program creation, editing, translating, debugging, uploading, and

downloading of BASIC programs to the BASIC modules. Used together, the

BASIC modules and the BASIC development software provide a powerful

solution to your data collection and foreign device interface applications.

Features

• Familiar programming language, programs in a subset of the

Intel 52 BASIC language.

• Communication to a variety of operator interfaces using two serial ports

that can be configured to support RS-232/423, RS-422, and RS-485.

• 24K bytes of battery-backed RAM and optional 8K or 32K byte non-volatile

memory modules are provided for data collection.

• DF1 protocol can be implemented in full-duplex and half-duplex slave

modes for connection to modems.

• High-performance (4x faster) BAS-T module available for applications

requiring fast program execution.

• Communication to an SLC 500 processor can take place across the 1746 I/O

backplane or on the DH-485 network through the module’s DH-485 port.
