SNAP-LCE Controller Features Description SNAP-LCE The SNAP-LCE Ethernet-based, stand-alone industrial controller is designed for use with Opto 22's ioControlTM Basic software, part of the ioProjectTM Basic software suite. Please note that SNAP-LCEs and ioProject are not recommended for new development. The last released version of ioProject Basic is version 7.1. This software will remain available on our website for some time to support customers who have existing SNAP-LCE controllers. For new development, we recommend SNAP-PAC controllers (either standalone or on-the-rack) and PAC Project software. See form #1688, the SNAP PAC System Migration Technical Note, for guidelines on mixing older and newer hardware and software. The SNAP-LCE provides real-time control and communication to SNAP Ethernet-based input/output (I/O) systems and computer networks. Independently running a control program you build with the included ioControl development software, the SNAP-LCE monitors and controls all kinds of devices and equipment. It also communicates data about these devices and equipment directly to Opto 22's ioDisplayTM and third-party human-machine interfaces (HMIs), to databases, and to other information technology (IT) systems. The SNAP-LCE simultaneously runs up to 16 ioControl flowcharts, plus the host task. The control strategy can contain a much larger number of flowcharts, however; the total number is limited only by the 8 MB of controller memory available for strategy storage. Since the SNAP-LCE and the I/O units it controls have IP addresses like other devices on an Ethernet network, the number of points the controller can address is theoretically unlimited. The SNAP-LCE can control many SNAP Ethernet-based I/O units. Because the controller scans I/O only when your strategy logic requests it, the exact number of I/O points it can scan--and the scanning performance--depend on the architecture of your strategy.

DATA SHEET The SNAP-LCE controller includes a 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet port for networking through an Ethernet switch to SNAP Simple, SNAP The controller also includes two serial ports for use with a modem connection using PPP or for general-purpose communication with serial devices (requires firmware version 5.1c or newer). Using this option, you can send and receive data from one or two serial devices connected directly to the controller, rather than requiring a SNAP serial communication module on an attached I/O unit. Your ioControl strategy controls communication with the devices and uses the data as needed in control logic. Note that these two ports are not isolated from each other. Form 1473-080611 The controller communicates over standard TCP/IP Ethernet networks at 10 or 100 Mbps. It can be attached to existing wired or wireless Ethernet networks or be used in an independent control network built with standard, off-the-shelf Ethernet hardware. Communication with a SNAP-LCE controller can also be established via a modem connection using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), with firmware version 5.1c and newer. Wireless or wireline modem connections are ideal for remote locations where an Ethernet network is not practical. Ethernet, and SNAP Ultimate I/O units, which provide the connections to digital and analog sensors and actuators as well as serial devices. (Please note that SNAP Simple, Ethernet, and Ultimate I/O units have been replaced by SNAP PAC I/O units.)

PAGE 5 More About Opto 22 Products SNAP PAC Brains Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software products for industrial automation, remote monitoring, and data acquisition applications. SNAP PAC System Designed to simplify the typically complex process of understanding, selecting, buying, and applying an automation system, the SNAP PAC System consists of four integrated components: * SNAP PAC controllers * PAC ProjectTM Software Suite * SNAP PAC brains * SNAP I/OTM While SNAP PAC controllers provide central control and data distribution, SNAP PAC brains provide distributed intelligence for I/O processing and communications. Brains offer analog, digital, and serial functions, including thermocouple linearization; PID loop control; and optional high-speed digital counting (up to 20 kHz), quadrature counting, TPO, and pulse generation and measurement. SNAP I/O I/O provides the local connection to sensors and equipment. Opto 22 SNAP I/O offers 1 to 32 points of reliable I/O per module, depending on the type of module and your needs. Analog, digital, serial, and special-purpose modules are all mixed on the same mounting rack and controlled by the same processor (SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted controller). Quality SNAP PAC Controllers Programmable automation controllers (PACs) are multifunctional, multidomain, modular controllers based on open standards and providing an integrated development environment. Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for many years. The latest models include the standalone SNAP PAC S-series and the rackmounted SNAP PAC R-series. Both handle a wide range of digital, analog, and serial functions and are equally suited to data collection, remote monitoring, process control, and discrete and hybrid manufacturing. SNAP PACs are based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) standards, so you can build or extend a system without the expense and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols. PAC Project Software Suite Opto 22's PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured and cost-effective control programming, HMI (human machine interface) development and runtime, OPC server, and database connectivity software to power your SNAP PAC System. These fully integrated software applications share a single tagname database, so the data points you configure in PAC ControlTM are immediately available for use in PAC DisplayTM, OptoOPCServerTM, and OptoDataLinkTM. Commands are in plain English; variables and I/O point names are fully descriptive. PAC Project Basic offers control and HMI tools and is free for download on our website, www.opto22.com. PAC Project Professional, available for separate purchase, adds OptoOPCServer, OptoDataLink, options for Ethernet link redundancy or segmented networking, and support for legacy Opto 22 serial misticTM I/O units. Founded in 1974 and with over 85 million devices sold, Opto 22 has established a worldwide reputation for highquality products. All are made in the U.S.A. at our manufacturing facility in Temecula, California. Because we do no statistical testing and each part is tested twice before leaving our factory, we can guarantee most solid-state relays and optically isolated I/O modules for life.
