1. Introduction

This manual describes the specific features of the MicroARM-A9.
For information common to programming, see the “MicroLADDER manual”. To visualize better the corresponding addresses in MicroLADDER, they appear in color, on the sides of the diagrams.

2. Characteristics

2.1 Board presentation

• 1 pressure and temperature sensor mounted on the card
• 1 rest push-button (Inter 1) (located on top of the SubD9 points) picked upby jumper (J2) (located at the top left of the processor)
• 1 jumper to load programs (J1) (located at the top of the processor)
• 1 push-button for the alarm (Inter 2) (located on top of COM 3) picked up by the connector

2.2 LED signification

L1	Presence of a SD card (next to the microSD card connector)
L2	Working order of the PLC (on right of the processor)
L3	Presence of a 5V tension (on the top left of the battery)
L5	Presence of a 3.3V tension (on the top left of the Ethernet connector)
L8	Presence of a tension supply (next to the power pack)
L6, L7, L9, L10 and L11	Ethernet (next to the Ethernet connector)
LD2	Presence and use of USB port next to the USB connector

2.3 Dimensions

3. Connections

The following connection diagrams are in the same direction as the card presentation diagram at the beginning of this document.

3.1 Digital

3.1.1 Digital input

3.1.2 Digital output

3.2 Analog

3.2.1 Analog input

1	2	3	4
EA	GND	EA2	GND
%IW103	0V	%IW104	0V

3.2.2 Analog output

%QW100 and %QW101 : outputs 0-20mA. 20 000 points = 20mA.

3.2.3 Internal board analog input

% IW100: temperature of the sensor implanted on the board in tenth of a degree.
% IW101: atmospheric pressure of the sensor implanted on the card in hectopascal.
% IW102: the power supply voltage of the card at the output of the AC/DC block or
upstream of the DC/DC block in MV.

3.3 Communication port

3.3.1 COM0 RS232

3.3.2 COM1 RS232 TTL

3.3.3 COM2 RS485

See broaching on the implantation. This port has 2 connectors with a 12 Vdc power supply. Its function is to feed 2 sensors and to communicate with it.

3.3.4 COM3 RS485

3.4 HMI

3.4.1 Inputs

% IW0: Horizontal position of the clicked point on the screen.
% IW1: Vertical position of the clicked point on the screen.

3.4.2 Outputs

% Q0: On/off screen backlight.
% QW0: Power of the display backlight.
On the EDT screens, the backlight is not adjustable. It works properly on URT screens.

3.5 Power supply

4. Standby

The standby is caused by the instruction:
AlimOff();

The alarm is caused by:

• Press the Wake up PB
• RTC (Time and date of the alarm must be programmed)
• By communication on the COM3 (be aware that a simple polarization of the line causes
  the alarm, the 0v must be connected)

Code for programming and activating the date and time of the alarm:
Date d;
long t
t = … ;
d = timeToDate (t);
stRtcAlarm.cSeconde = d.sec;
stRtcAlarm.cMinute = d.min;

stRtcAlarm.cHeure = d.hour;
stRtcAlarm.cJour = d.mday;
stRtcAlarm.cMois = d.mon;
RtcWriteAlarm (KB_TRUE);
Code to turn off the date and time of the alarm:
RtcWriteAlarm (KB_FALSE);

5. Saved variables

There’s a saved RAM. This allows to manage histories.

6. Choice of target

In MicroLADDER, once the system code is imported, the target must be chosen. There are 4 target types for the MicroARM-A9: µArm A9 A (7″), µArm A9 A (4″3), µArm A9 B (7″), µArm A9 B (4″3).
The choice between version A and B is based on the memory that is mounted on the board. In version A, there are 16 MB of video RAM (IC10 in the top right has the reference 48LC8M16A2) and 512 KB of saved RAM (only U2 in the upper right is present). In version B there are 32 MB of video RAM (IC10 in the top right has the reference 48LC16M16A2) and 1024 KB of saved RAM (U1 and U2 in the top right are present).
The choice between 7 ” and 4 “3 is based on the size of the screen.

7. Safety and warnings

Warning
If the device is not used as per these instructions, the safety of people and equipment can be compromised. We disclaim any liability for any material damage or due to improper handling or failure to comply with the safety instructions.

The interventions on the devices must be made by staff who are competent to work on electric installations.
Before all interventions, all power supplies must be switched off. The cutting devices on the installation must be dimensioned and placed according to the standard UTE C
15-100.
For all interventions on a device installed on an electric installation, the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as defined by the safety regulations on the electric installations must be carried by the worker.

In the event of a failure or malfunction, the device must not be opened and must be
returned to the factory.

Observe the following pictograms:

	Warning. On the product label this symbol means that the notice must be consulted. In this manual, this symbol indicates important information.
	Direct current.
	This device is CE approved and complies with the national and European guidelines.

8. Protection device

Quick fuse protections must be positioned on the 24 volt continuous start feeding the PLC. These fuses will be sized according to the number of devices set in series behind the start.
