Programmable Logic Controllers

Programmable Logic Controllers are at the heart of the smart factory

 

 

They are designed for fast and reliable real-time processing of a large number of inputs and outputs.  ST supplies resilient solutions that lie at the core of the PLC, providing processing, communication and safe interfacing to the variety of sensors and actuators on the factory floor.

Solutions

8-channel digital output evaluation board

The STEVAL-IFP015V2 demonstration board works in combination with the STEVAL-PCC009V2 or STEVAL-PCC009V1 interface board to allow evaluation of all the features of the ISO8200B device. A large GND area on the printed circuit board has been designed to minimize noise effects and ensure good thermal performance. Learn more »

 

IO-Link master evaluation board

The STEVAL-IDP004V1 is developed to create a multi-port master d based on serial asynchronous communication to support the IO-Link protocol. Each node is equipped with an industrial M12 connector (as required by the standard) for connection with a single slave node using a cable 20 meter long; the wire is a normal three-pole: one for the IO-Link bus, one for the L+ line (positive supply voltage pole) and one for the L- line (negative supply voltage pole). Learn more »

Products

IO-Link transceivers

ST’s L6360 and L6362A enable a master and device solution for IO-Link and general-purpose (SIO-mode) transceivers via a single 3-wire connection (PHY2) supporting COM1 (4.8 kbaud), COM2 (38.4 kbaud) and COM3 (230.4 kbaud) modes. Learn more »

 

Galvanic isolated 8-channel driver

The ISO8200BQ is a galvanic isolated 8-channel driver featuring a very low supply current. It contains 2 independent galvanic isolated voltage domains (Vcc for the power stage and Vdd for the digital stage). Learn more »

 

Step-down monolithic switching regulator

The L7987L device is a step-down monolithic switching regulator able to deliver up to 2 A DC. The output voltage adjustability ranges from 0.8 V to almost VIN. The embedded switchover feature on the VBIAS pin maximizes the efficiency at light load. Learn more »

 

Digital input current limiter

The SCLT3 series provides an 8-line protected digital input termination with serialized state transfer. This device enhances the I/O module density by cutting the dissipation (78 mW per input) and reducing the count of opto-transistors.  Learn more »
