Dialogue modulesDisplays, input modulesand camera systemsSystem descriptionFlexible and tried-and-tested RAM mount installation systemThe PDM360 dialogue units are often installed in vehicles as surface mountdevices. On the one hand, a secure fit and, on the other hand, an easy toadjust mechanical system are required. The universal RAM mount systemprovides both.One ball is mounted at the PDM360 and one in the vehicle. The clamp armconnects the two balls. Depending on the requested device position RAMmount arms can be used in three different lengths. The handle enables easeof use and quick adjustment to almost any position. Due to the patentedtwo-ball system vibrations are intercepted by the holder and therefore notpassed on to the device. The stable holder cups ensure a secure fit even forthe heavy PDM360 monitors.Programming and network configuration by means of IEC 61131-3As for the R360 controller family, CoDeSys software is used for programmingthe PDM360 monitors. The controllers and the PDM360 family areprogrammed with only one tool.The visualisation editor integrated into the programming package has beenan integral part of the software for a long time. With this editor the user candevelop static and dynamic visualisation objects and directly show them onthe PC or internet browser, e.g. for diagnosis of the connected plc.The target visualisation provides a further option. Due to this hardware-independenttechnology the created graphical objects are compiled into the IECcode ST (structured text) before downloading to the PDM360. The run timesystem processes this code on the device and, in combination with a graphiclibrary, displays the objects which have been created on the PC. Vector graphicsas well as bit maps can be shown on the individual visualisation pages.At the same time a device-specific control process can be programmed andexecuted irrespective of the visualisation.The connection to the machine controller is made via the CAN bus. TheCANopen protocol provides a universal platform for this.If the PDM360 monitors are used as a network master, the network configuratorintegrated into the programming software is used to project andconfigure the connected slaves (e.g. I/O modules). Via the PDOs the processsignals are available directly in the dialogue unit as IEC addresses.RAM mountinstallation onPDM360 smart.The PDM360 canbe programmedindividuallyand is a veryconvenient visualisationsolution.Visit our website: www.ifm.com72
