The GPC® 550 card is a powerful control board in the 100x160mm standard Single Europa size. It is can operate in stand alone mode as an intelligent peripheral or remoted in a wider telecontrol and aquisition network but it can be easily expanded by the numerous intelligent and non intelligent peripheral cards, available on Industrial Abaco® BUS.

His tipical installation is on a mother board mounted inside a rack or on a mother board for Omega rails (i.e. ABB 03 and ABB 05) that furthermore allow the management of cards with BLOCK format, provided of Abaco® I/O BUS.

The card supports some different versions of microcontrollers as 80C552, 87C552, etc.; all of them are code compatible with the wide diffused 8051 INTEL and it includes considerable hardware resources. The most interesting ones are the 8 lines of 10 bits A/D Converter, the numerous TTL digital I/O lines, the CAN interface and the I2C BUS lines.

Its modularity and the remarkable hardware resources allow GPC® 550 to be easily used even in complex applications. The card use is simplified by a wide range of software developement Tools based either on low or high level languages which allow to work at the best conditions using only a standard PC. Noteworthy among these tools there are the C Compilers, the PASCAL and the handy basic compiler BASCOM 8051. Special care has been devoted to the application developing, by generating programs which allow remote debug directly on the card and on board FLASH burning with user application program.

The GPC®550 is equipped with a series of normalized, standard Abaco® connectors allowing immediate use of all the available BLOCK I/O modules, a direct management of local operator interfaces (KDx x24, QTP 16P, QTP 24P) or connections to equipment made by the user, or by third parties companies, obtaining a notable cost reduction.

Hardware features of the card, including possible options, are as follows:

• Single Euro size 100x160mm with interface to Abaco® Industrial BUS.
• Microcontroller Philips 80C552, at 22MHz or compatible ones.
• Different memory devices: 128K EPROM; 128K SRAM; 512K EPROM, FLASH, EEPROM or SRAM; up to 1K Serial EEPROM; 240 bytes serial SRAM.
• Memory management unit (MMU) that allows to locate the physical memories inside the microprocessor addressing space in some different modalities, with paging tecnique.
• Real Time Clock able to up date day, month, year, week day, seconds, minutes and hours. It can be programmed to generate an INT at periodic intervals defined by software or to work as an alarm clock on a preset time.
• Back up circuit for SRAM and RTC provided of lithium battery and connector for external battery.
• Hardware Watch dog circuit capable to reset the card when the executed program malfunctions.
• 8 lines 10 bits A/D Converter, with range +2,49V, 0÷20 or 4÷20 mA,conversion time 27µs, provided of pass band filters.
• 1 status LED plus 3 activity LEDs and BUZZER for signals, driven through software.
• 8 way Dip Switch: 7 dips are readable by software and it can be used as RUN/DEBUG mode selector.
• 1 hardware serial lines configurable in RS 232, RS 422, RS 485, passive Current Loop with programmable baud rate up to 115K Baud
• 1 software serial line in RS 232.
• 40 I/O TTL lines, driven by software: 24 managed by PPI 82C55 and 16 managed by CPU ports (some of these lines have double functions).
• 2 independent PWM outputs with 8 bits resolution.
• Three 16 bits Timer Counter. One has capture and compare functionalities, joined with inputs and outputs signals available on connectors.
• Two I2C BUS lines, one hardware and one software, available on connectors.
• Optional CAN line based on PHILIPS SJA 1000 controller that supports Basic CAN, CAN 2.0B and PeliCan protocols, with a maximum 1 MBit/sec bit rate.
• PHILIPS 82C250 CAN line driver, Galvanically Optocoupled.
• 9 standard connettors, placed on the front side of the card,to facilitate the connection with the other systems and with the field.
• Single power supply +5Vdc, 340 mA maximum consumption.
• Possibility to reduce power consumption with idle or power down mode.
• Wide range of base software and developement tools that allow card use with only a standard PC, connected through serial line. Among these: GET51; FMO52; FMO53, NO ICE51; various Assembler; BASIC compilers BASCOM-8051, BXC51; C compilers µC/51, HI TECH C 51, µC/51, SYS51CW; PASCAL compilers SYS51PW; contact logic languages LadderWORK; real time operating systems CMX-RTX; etc.

BASCOM-8051

BASIC compiler for 8051

BASCOM-8051© is a BASIC COMPILER , that generates code for the I51 family of microcontrollers, executed on a PC provided of a Windows operating system. This compiler provides a complete development tools and it includes many new instructions dedicated to direct management of typical problems of industrial automation. Moreover it supports arrays, strings and numerous additional data types, floating point mathematic functions, high level interrupts managements, etc.

µ C / 5 1

ANSI C compiler for 8051

Develop high quality software for any microcontroller of I51 family, by using ANSI C. µC/51 corresponds to a compiler capable of incredible optimizations, you can write ANSI C code even for the micro with only 1k Byte of memory! µC/51 is absolutely complete: easy to use multi file Editor, Compiler, Assembler, Downloader, source level Debugger. Nothing more it is necessary.

PASCAL 51

Pascal compiler for 8051

The Pascal 51 is a compiler capable to generate code for the I51 family of microcontrollers, that use almost all the instructions defined in Wirth's Pascal. Thanks to his integarted developmen environment it is really simple to use and offers advantages in hardware resources management, available in the microcontrollers. Moreover objects and precompiled units can be used too.

LadderWORK
