Wish to have your own Custom PLC? Yes you can!

The SmartTILE-Fx (Smart TRi Integrated Logic Engine) is the brain board used on the TRi proven. top-of-the-line F-series Super PLCs since 2008. TRi now offers SmartTILE-Fx to Small and medium OEM equipment makers to easily have their own private-labeled. low cost. network-ready Super PLC that harnesses all the flexibility and ready-made tools of an industrial grade Super PLC. and yet purpose-built to fit their equipment perfectly.

How to build your own PLC?  TRi is ready to provide all assistance to OEMs. from circuit design. PCB layout to fully assembled PLCs. OEMs that have in-house design and manufacturing capability can simply order the SmartTiLE Fx Development Kit which includes a standard Fx PLC for testing. an additional unit of SmartTILE-Fx board+ I/O pin receptacles for rapid prototyping. a comprehensive SmartTILE Design Guide. the i-TRiLOGI 7 programming software and a USB-RS485 adapter.

If you have not used an F-series PLC before you will need a SmartTILE Development Kit which comprises the following items

1. SmartTILE-Fx CPU board x 1
2. Receptacles for SmartTILE I/O pins x 1 set
3. i-TRiLOGI Version 6 & 7 Installation CD x 1
4. F2424 or F1616-BA Super PLC x 1
5. U-485 (USB-to-RS485 converter) x 1
6. SmartTILE Design Guide (PDF by Email)

The SmartTILE-Fx integrates a 32-bit CPU. FRAM & flash memory. battery-backed Real Time Clock and an Ethernet port on board. Its digital. analog and serial I/O signals are brought to OEM's carrier board via 3 sets of header pins. 
 
Since all critical components are already built-in on board. An OEM only needs to build a simple carrier PCB that contains digital and analog circuit that interface the low voltage signals on the SmartTILE to the real world voltages and currents (could be 24V. 120V or 240V). The SmartTILE-Fx provides 16 digital inputs. 16 digital outputs (5V CMOS logic level). 8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs (12-bit. 0-5V) and can be expanded to 128 digital inputs and 128 digital outputs.

SmartTILE-Fx provides 3 channels of serial ports (3.3V. Tx. Rx & /RTS) that can interface to RS232. RS485 or wireless radio. An I2C port (3.3V) is also available. allowing OEM to interface to specialty ICs that support I2C bus.

Programmable using the highly acclaimed i-TRiLOGI Ladder Logc+BASIC programming software that combines Ladder Logic with a floating point math capable BASIC language. OEM can accomplish complex programming in a fraction of time of those pure ladder-only. or C-programmable only platforms.

Best of all. you also get a FREE Web HMI on every SmartTILE-Fx that can be easily customized (without programming) to suit your equipment. Impress your users how they can simply use their smart phones or tablet to interface to your equipment.
