Controller Module Prog Eth
The DFCP 4 controller is the heart of an entire Domino system. The system management is facilitated using equations that bind inputs and outputs together.
The DFCP 4 provides powerful programming features that can satisfy almost any request.
DFCP 4 provides full control of the internal RAM (buffered by a battery), granting control of the state to which each memory cell, and therefore the physical outputs of the system, must switch after a system power failure.
In addition to the event triggered equations, the DFCP 4 also provides algebraic equation functions, and time equations with a daily, weekly and yearly scheduler.
Thanks to the script function, which consists of program macroblocks written in a very simple language similar to Basic, the DFCP 4 can perform very complicated functions.
The DFCP 4 is also able to calculate sunrise and sunset times and the position of the sun (azimuth and elevation); the values calculated are placed in 4 registers that must be defined using the LOCALIZE configuration directive.
If several controllers are installed, it is possible to exchange information between them. It is also possible to interface two different systems like Contatto and Domino buses.
When compared to the previous DFCP version, the following characteristics stand out:
• Integrated weekly Scheduler for management of 16 points (“zones”) with 8 time slots each one; each time slot can be individually enabled or disabled
• A new program transferred to DFCP 4 is stored in a different memory location and therefore, during the download, the program previously loaded continues to operate without interruption; only when downloading of the new program is completed, and if everything goes well, the automatic switch from the old program to the new one will be performed.
• MODBUS TCP/IP Slave on ETH port (ETH version)
• Integrated Ethernet Bridge, multi-user up to 8 simultaneous connections (ETH version)
• Integrated WEB Server, multi-user up to 8 simultaneous connections, including sceneries management (ETH version)
• Simple Diagnostic through a WEB browser, therefore without need to install DCP IDE program (ETH version)
The available versions are the following:
DFCP 4 STD : 1 RS232 + 2 RS485
DFCP 4 ETH : 1 RS232 + 2 RS485 + ETH
In order to program the DFCP 4 Control Unit, it is necessary to have the DCP IDE software tools installed on a PC. The DCP IDE package also includes the DCPVISIO program, which allows graphical display of field status and all DFCP 4 parameters, as well as other programs with specific functions.
The DFCP 4 controller is available in DIN modular housing (6 modules size).
