The range of compact and modular Twido programmable controllers from Schneider Electric offers an “all-in-one” solution for automation in a small footprint.
Compact bases
Eight compact controllers (including 4 expandable by adding expansion modules) are available, differing in their processing capacity and number of 24 V DC inputs, relay and transistor outputs (10, 16, 24 and 40 /exits).
These compact bases use:
> An alternating current power supply, between a 100 and 240 V (ensuring the 24 V DC power supply for the sensors).
> Or a DC power supply, between 19.2 and 30 V DC.
Advantages of compact bases
> A significant number of inputs / outputs (up to 40 inputs / outputs) in a small footprint, reducing the size of desks or cabinets for applications where occupied space is a requirement.
> For expandable models (24 and 40 inputs / outputs), the expansion possibilities offer the user a degree of flexibility generally reserved for larger automation platforms:
With compact 24 input / output TWD LC.A 24DRF bases, up to 4 discrete, analog and / or communication input / output extension modules.
With the compact 40 I / O TWD LC .. 40DRF bases, up to 7 discrete, analog and / or communication I / O extension modules.
> Optional modules, such as digital display, memory extension cartridge, real-time clock cartridge and additional RS 485 or RS 232C communication port.
> The compact controller solution also allows great wiring flexibility.
For “Discrete” input / output extensions (with TWD LC.A 24DRF and TWD LC .. 40DRF bases) several connection possibilities are available, such as removable screw terminal blocks, spring-type connectors for wiring simple, fast and secure.
The Modicon Telefast ABE 7 pre-wiring system allows modules to be connected with HE 10 type connectors:
– To pre-fitted cables with a free wire end for direct connection to sensors / preactuators.
– To the Modicon Telefast ABE 7 cabling system for Twido controller (set of connection cables and ABE 7 sub-bases).
> The display and memory options that can be plugged into the base facilitate the operations of setting, transferring and saving applications :
– The digital display can be used as a local visualization and adjustment tool.
– Memory cartridge EEPROM technology enables program backup and transfer operations to any Twido compact or modular controller.
> The TwidoSuite software offers easy programming from instructional “list” language instructions or ladder language graphics.

Modbus serial link
The Modbus serial link makes it possible to respond to master / slave architectures (it is nevertheless necessary to check that the Modbus services useful for the application are implemented on the devices concerned).
The bus is made up of a master station and slave stations. Only the master station can initiate the exchange (direct communication between slave stations is not possible).
Two exchange mechanisms are possible :
> Question / answer, requests from the master are addressed to a given slave.
The response is expected in return from the interrogated slave.
> Broadcasting, the master broadcasts a message to all the slave stations on the bus.
They carry out the order without issuing a response.

This material context of the project is essential to explain as clearly as possible what the automation managed by the Twido controller consists of.
A very visual “Catalog” allows you to select the appropriate product with :
> The product reference.
> The description of the product.
> The product photo.
A graphic editor allows you to easily assemble the different elements by simple “drag & drop”.
The “Nomenclature” tool lists all the products used and makes it possible to retrieve this information in Excel to prepare a material order faster, for example.
Programmation
An essential step, the programming has been particularly studied to allow maximum efficiency. Thus, the program can now be organized into “Sections”, which simplifies reading and navigation in the program.
These sections can be programmed in instruction list language (LIST) or ladder language (LADDER).
Focus
The connection task is very guided, allowing you to follow step by step the actions performed by TwidoSuite (choice of connection, test of the connected controller, selection of the transfer performed).
The program is then animated, allowing possible modifications without stopping the controller (RUN).
Animation tables allow you to comfortably view memory objects.
A mini floating dashboard allows you to manage actions on the controller.
TwidoSuite also integrates:
– Macros for Modbus serial link and CANopen bus.
– Counting function.
– Positioning, processing, PID
– Processing on events.
TwidoAdjust software
TwidoAdjust software is a software tool dedicated to managing and animating Twido applications through the use of a Pocket PC.
The TwidoAdjust and Pocket PC software package can be connected to a Twido programmable controller :
> Either using the TSX PCX 1031 and TSX PCX 1130 cables (ensuring the crossing of the Rx and Tx wires).
> Or by means of Bluetooth wireless technology. For optimal operation, use a Pocket PC with integrated Bluetooth technology.
TwidoAdjust software requires a Pocket PC running the PWindows Mobile 5.0 operating system. It must be used with the pen, the buttons of the Pocket PC are not supported.
Allowing project management, TwidoAdjust software allows :
> To transfer applications.
> To animate and save tables of objects.
> To save the values of categories of objects.
From the first screen, the TwidoAdjust software offers the possibility of viewing essential data of the controller such as its reference, its status, the name of the application, the version of its firmware.
Modicon Telefast ABE 7 pre-wiring system
The relaying and connection functions, with or without polarities distribution, considerably reduce wiring times and eliminate the risk of errors.
The Modicon Telefast ABE 7 pre-wiring system allows remote connection of input and output modules (discrete 24 V DC) to operating parts, quickly, reliably and economically, by partially eliminating the single-wire connection and intermediate terminal blocks.
The Telefast ABE 7 system can only be connected to Twido modules equipped with HE 10 type connectors. It is made up of cables and interface sockets.
The Telefast ABE 7 offer meets all the types of connection encountered in automation equipment :
> Inputs / outputs located in the PLC cabinet.
> Inputs / outputs located directly on the machine or in auxiliary boxes.
All input / output sockets are made up of output terminals on 2 floors :
> 1st row: signal connection.
> 2nd row: connection of its common, 24 V DC for the inputs, 0 V for the outputs.
A 3rd row of optional ABE 7BV .. terminals can be added for connecting another common.
These input / output bases are available in different compositions :
Sub-bases for Twido modular bases
> ABE 7B20MPN20: 12 input + 8 passive output base.
> ABE 7B20MPN22: base 12 inputs + 8 passive outputs :
– Individual protection of each output by fuses (0.315 A).
– LED visualization.
– Knife disconnector for breaking the 0 V common.
> ABE 7B20MRM20: 12 input base + 8 soldered relay outputs:
– 2 A static relay (1 common 4 A / 2 channels) on 2 outputs.
– Electromechanical relays (1 “C” 24 V DC / 250 V AC, 3 A) on 6 outputs for adapting the signal to current or voltage (1 common 10 A / 6 channels).
Headers for Twido I / O expansion modules
> ABE 7E16EPN20: 16 passive inputs subbase.
> ABE 7E16SPN20: 16 passive outputs base.
> ABE 7E16SPN22: 16 passive outputs base:
– Individual protection of each output by fuses (0.315 A).
– LED visualization.
– Knife disconnector for breaking the 0 V common.
> ABE 7E16SRM20: 16 soldered relay output base:
– Electromechanical relays (1 “C” 24 V DC / 250 V AC, 3 A) on 16 outputs for adapting the signal to current or voltage (1 common 5 A / 4 channels).
Optional terminal blocks
> ABE 7BV20TB :
– 12 screw terminals bridged together for the input common.
– 8 screw terminals bridged together for the common of outputs.
> ABE 7BV20 :
– 20 screw terminals all bridged together for the connection of a single common.
