SoftPLC in
Tealware is an embedded, rack based, open architecture system that includes the
controller CPU and a full line of I/O modules for applications ranging from
small machine control to complex, multi-vendor distributed systems.
Tealware CPUs have the SoftPLC Control Software kernel embedded, to provide functionality unmatched by any PLC CPU available on the market - yet is priced so that even smaller applications can benefit. Just one example is the Ethernet port (standard on all Tealware CPUs) -- proprietary PLC vendors typically charge $1000 USD or more for Ethernet-ready processors!
SoftPLC In Tealware has available a complete line of digital, analog and specialty I/O modules, which can be installed in both local and remote configurations.
An alternative CPU base with five PC/104 slots makes this system
truly open architecture. You can easily add other vendor's I/O interface cards,
motion cards, additional serial ports, and much more to your system.
A typical SoftPLC Tealware controller system consists of:
- A CPU base and/or expansion I/O bases
- CPU module with embedded SoftPLC Control Software
- Power supply module
- Various I/O modules
CPU Bases can accommodate the power supply module, CPU module and 4, 6, or 8 I/O modules. The PC/104 CPU base (Cat. No. PBASE04) can accommodate the power supply module, CPU module, 4 I/O modules and up to 5 PC/104 add-on cards, including those offered by SoftPLC Corporation.
I/O Configurations:
In a local configuration, expansion I/O
bases for 6 or 8 I/O modules are available. You can connect up to 3 expansion
bases to any CPU base. The maximum distance from a CPU base to the last
expansion base is 30 feet. A local configuration can support up to 1024 I/O
points.
In a remote configuration, SoftPIPETM provides a 2.5MB remote I/O network connection. You can connect up to 15 remote drops, each consisting of a remote drop base (with Remote I/O Adapter) and up to 3 expansion I/O bases. The maximum distance from the CPU and the last remote drop is 20,000 feet. Remote configurations can support up to 16,384 I/O points.
Additionally, if a non-Tealware CPU is desired (eg: if ISA/PCI slots are needed for add-on cards), an ISA bus Tealware I/O interface card is available (Cat. No. PCCARD10) that supports both local and remote I/O configurations for systems such as SoftPLC Processors.

Note: Analog I/O is not limited other than by physical slots.
A wide range of I/O modules are available
for the Tealware system. These I/O modules include many features to make
industrial installation and maintenance easy.
- Detachable front-end terminal block for easy module replacement without re-wiring
- Front Panel LED display for status monitoring/troubleshooting
- High noise immunity
- Module addressing based on location, not DIP switch for easy identification, system configuration, & maintenance (auto-configure available)
- Digital I/O modules are hot swappable under power
- Low power consumption means nearly all configurations are possible - load your bases with any module combinations!
