W-8x47 & uPAC-7186EG Supports CAN / CANopen Devices and Sensors
ISaGRAF PAC supports CAN / CANopen Devices and Sensors since their driver supports I-7530: RS-232 to CAN Converter to link CAN devices and CAN sensors or CANopen devices or CAN open sensors.
W-8347 / W-8747 : since driver version 3.43 (2008.Feb), or later version.
uPAC-7186EG : since its release (around March 2008).
iPAC-8437 / iPAC-8837 : since its release (around Q3 2008).
(ISaGRAF PAC driver: http://www.icpdas.com/products/PAC/i-8000/isagraf.htm > Driver )
Advantages:
- Cost effective CAN solution, supports both of the CAN 2.0A and 2.0B specifications.
- Provides with proper sample programs. All above three PACs support ISaGRAF version 3 software to easy edit, easy design and debug (ISaGAF supports six PLC-like languages: Ladder, FBD, ST, IL, SFC and Flow Chart and supports on-line monitoring , control and debugging)
- Each ISaGRAF PAC can connect one or several i-7530 to link many kinds of CAN and CANopen devices and sensors.
- When linking with CAN devices, the ISaGRAF PAC can also integrate its some other functions and applications together. For example, the Hot-Swap RU-87P4/8 base plus I-87K high-profile I/O cards , Modbus RTU (RS-232/485/422) devices, linking other RS-232/485/422 devices, Data Logger, sending email with one attached data file, etc.

Easy way to program the fast FRNET remote I/O modules
The FRNET is fast remote I/O. The W-8xx7 and the I-8477 / 8877 support FRnet fast remote I/O. Please visit the web site below for more information:
http://www.icpdas.com/faq/isagraf.htm > 082 or www.icpdas.com > FAQ > Software > ISaGRAF > 082
The I/O scan time of the FRNET bus is about 3 ms . (This depends on your program’s PLC scan time. For example, if the ISaGRAF PLC program scan time is about 9 ms, then the scan time for all FRNET I/O channels will be 9 ms, not 3 ms. Below is the approximate PLC scan time of an ISaGRAF project which runs only the FRNET setup code (without other codes) . It is more than 20 times faster compared with the i-7000 and i-87K RS-485 digital remote I/O.
One i-8172 FRNET master card can connect max. 256-ch D/I plus 256-ch D/O .

InduSoft DCON Bundle Driver v1.34 Released
- InduSoft DCON Bundle Driver v1.34 is released.
- New Features for InduSoft DCON Bundle Driver v1.34
- Supports New I/O Modules :
7005, I-87018Z ( 10 channel )
- Broken Line Detection: Support AI modules “Broken Line Detection” function. It means that if any one channel of AI modules break down, then its corresponding “AI Tag” in indusoft will show「9999」or「-9999」.
- Gets Modules Communication Status: Users can fill one “Integer Tag” in the “Read Status” field of indusoft driver form, then the AI Tag will receive the communication status value automatically when indusoft project runs. If the return value is “0”, it means module communication is good, others will be bad.
Wincon-8xx7 can send email with an attached file
Wincon-8437/8747 and Wincon-8037/8337/8737 can send email via its Ethernet port since its ISaGRAF driver version 3.38. The Wincon must reside at a local network which can connect to the Internet, or sending email is not possible.
Controller ISaGRAF driver: http://www.icpdas.com/products/PAC/i-8000/isagraf-link.htm
Demo program: www.icpdas.com – FAQ – Software – ISaGRAF - 067
Basic functions:
- The Email being sent has option to attach a file. The attached file format can be text, binary or any file format. Its maximum size is 2 MB.
- Email Titles can be 128 bytes maximum. Email content can be 510 bytes maximum.
- One email can be sent to 10 receivers at one time. Must send multiple times if more receivers are desired.
- Each email can be assigned priorities: High, Low or Normal.
- Assign at least one Mail server IP in the ISaGRAF program. For safety, assign two Mail servers IP. If one Mail server is out of service, Wincon-8xx7 will send email by the other server.
- If using Wincon-8347 / 8747 (dual LAN) and both LAN ports are enabled, Wincon-8xx7 will automatically switch to the other Ethernet port to send email if one is broken or damaged.
Two useful ISaGRAF Application Samples Released: “Auto Time-Synchronization system”
and “Auto email sending with one attached I/O-Acquisition-File System”
Use Time Synchronization and monitor the state of many ISaGRAF PACs
Please visit http://www.icpdas.com/faq/isagraf.htm FAQ-070 for more information.
This sample uses one PC to receive UDP report data from many ISAGRAF PACs. The PC can send time synchronization commands to the ISAGRAF PACs if it is necessary.
This sample demo one PC to link to two ISaGRAF PAC (can be any of W-8xx7, i-8x37, iPAC-8447 / 8847 or i-7188EG) in a local Ethernet area.
If this sample is applied to the Internet, the PC must be set to a fixed Internet IP Address. Also, each ISaGRAF PAC in different local areas should be able to connect to the Internet (Normally through the Gateway Server of the ISP company) .
Record 10 Ch. Temperature values into a file in W-8xx7 every minute. When 24 hours of recording is finished, file can be sent via emial Every Day.
Please visit http://www.icpdas.com/faq/isagraf.htm FAQ-071 for more information.
This sample uses one Wincon-8xx7 + slot 2: i-87018z to record 10-Ch. Temperature values every minute. It sends an email with the attached record file after the 24-hour recording is finished. The email is sent at around 00:00 to 00:01 every day.
This sample applies one PC to monitor the communication state of each ISaGRAF PAC in a different place and also does time synchronization. (PC / Server is not necessary if only receiving email is desired)
The PC can reside at the same local ethernet area as the W-8xx7 controller.
