The MacroNode™ is a high density, compact and economical I/O solution for popular DeviceNet™, Profibus® and Ethernet based fieldbus networks such as ModBus TCP and EtherCAT®. In addition, the Ethernet versions contain cLogic™, an on-board C-compiler to handle the distribution of real-time logic tasks. MacroNode™ products reduce network and main controller bandwidth limits by offloading time-critical tasks.
Built-in cLogic™ compiler executes I/O sequences, I/O ramping, PID, PWM and limited signal processing
Embedded web servers provide a graphical user interface for setup and diagnostics
Data can also be graphed in real time for complete diagnostics.
Modular design and variety of communication options for easy migration pass from one fieldbus to another
Power distribution provided by the unit in addition to I/O channels simplifying integration
User configurable I/O points for flexibility with future expansion without the need for additional channels

Features
Slave I/O Control Modules
Using standard TCP/IP - protocols, MacroNode Ethernet modules can provide reliable, high speed connectivity at up to 2msec output update timing. Units are ordered as Modbus/TCP or Ethernet/IP versions and utilize standard CAT 5 network cables. All Ethernet models contain web browser user interface for debug, manual control and data collection. Additional network interface includes DeviceNet.
Configure with 1-4 I/O cards
cLogic™ Real-Time Control Engine
Modularize and distribute time critical tasks where they belong. MKS cLogic allows you to overcome TCP/IP network bandwidth concerns by distributing logic to the I/O modules. You designate your logic using standard C code, and then activate the MacroNode on-board C-compiler. cLogic is only available on Ethernet models. Examples of control logic include:
Distributed sequences
PID control
Signal filtering and analysis
Frequency, pulse width, count
Add real-time control to each module
Web Browser User Interface
Each unit takes advantage of built-in web servers to provide a graphical user interface for setup and diagnostics. In addition to module status, each I/O point can be manually set and read using a standard web browser. Data can also be graphed in real time for complete diagnostics.
Manual control and real-time diagnostics
Mounting and Connection
Each MacroNode package is sized to accommodate 1 - 4 I/O cards. Each unit is built to your requirements. MacroNode snaps on to standard 35 mm DIN rail, and contains D-Sub 37 I/O connectors on the top and bottom for high density connectivity. Each connector contains additional power and common points for easy system signal distribution. The front panel contains all configuration switches and setup LED’s.
Each unit is 4”H x 4”D x 1.5”W plus 0.7 inches per I/O slot.
