Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.2 Characteristics
AH500 system
The characteristics of theAH500 series CPU module are as follows.
(1) High efficiency
zThe AH500 series CPU module adopts a 32-bit high-speed processor. The instructions are
executed at a speed of 0.3 milliseconds per 1 ksteps. (Fifty percent of the instructions are
basic instructions, and fifty percent of the instructions are applied instructions.)
(2) Supporting more inputs and outputs
zThe AH500 series CPU module supports up to 4,352 local digital I/O or 512 analog I/O.
zA complete AH500 system consists of eight backplanes at most, including a main backplane.
Eight I/O modules at most can be installed on a backplane. Therefore, for the AH500 series
CPU, 64 digital input/output modules at most or 64 analog input/output modules at most can
be installed.
zEight RTU modules at most can be installed on the main backplane. 128,000 remote digital
I/O, or 4,000 remote analog I/O at most are supported.
(3) Multiple I/O modules
zThe I/O modules supported by theAH500 series CPU module are digital input/output
modules, analog input/output modules, temperature measurement modules, network
modules, motion control modules, and RTU modules.

(4) Larger program capacity and memory
zThe program capacity of the AH500 series CPU modules can be up to 256 ksteps. Users do
not need to use a more advanced CPU if the program capacity becomes large.
zThe AH500 series CPU module has 64 kwords of memory. Besides, users can declare up to
1024 function blocks.
(5) Supporting IEC 61131-3
zThe AH500 series CPU module supports IEC 61131-3.
1-8

Chapter 1 Product Introduction
zThe programming languages which are supported are instruction lists (IL), structured texts
(ST), ladder diagrams (LD), sequential function charts (SFC), and function block diagrams
(FBD).
zUsers can select a programming language according to their preference and the
convenience. The programming languages support one another so that the programs written
by different users are related.
(6) Strong function block
zNot only the standard IEC61131-3 function blocks are supported, but also the convenient
function blocks provided by Delta Electronics, Inc. are supported. Users can write the
program frequently executed in a function block so that the program becomes more
structured and can be executed more conveniently.
zThe symbol for a function block in a ladder diagram is like an Integrated circuit (IC) in a circuit
diagram. Owing to the fact that the ladder diagram is based on the traditional circuit diagram,
the operation of a function block is quite similar to the function of an integrated circuit. Users
only need to send the signal to the corresponding input of the function block, and they can
receive the signal or state which is required. During the whole process, users do not need to
consider the processing procedure inside the function block.
zA function block is a program element equipped with the operation function. It is similar to a
subroutine, and is a type of POU (Program Organization Unit). It can not operate by itself,
and has to be called through the program POU. After the related parameters are transmitted,
the function defined by a function block is executed. Besides, the final operation result can be
sent to the device or variable used in the superior POU after the execution of the function
block is complete.
zThe encryption function supported by ISPSoft provides the secrecy of function blocks for
special businesses. The program inside a function block can not be learned, and the patent
of a business will not be infringed.
1-9

AH500 Hardware Manual
(7) Task
zThe programs can be assigned to 283 tasks at most.Among the 288 tasks, 32 tasks are
cyclic tasks, 32 tasks are I/O interrupts, 4 tasks are timed interrupts, 2 tasks are
communication interrupts, 1 task is an external 24 V low-voltage interrupt, and 212 tasks are
user-defined tasks.
zUsers can enable and disable a task during the execution of a program by means of TKON
and TKOFF.
(8) Increasing the efficiency of configuring the hardware through an USB cable and ISPSoft
zThe AH500 series CPU module provides a standard USB 2.0 interface. USB 2.0 increases
the data transfer rate, and decreases the time it takes to download the program, monitor the
program and configure the hardware. Besides, users do not need to buy a communication
cable for the CPU module. They can use a general USB cable to connect to theAH500 series
CPU module.

1-10

Chapter 1 Product Introduction
zUsers can set the DB9 serial control interface to RS232, RS485, or RS422 according to the
application environment. The data transfer rate can be increased from 9600 bps to 1 Mbps.
zAfter users set the PLC Link in ISPSoft, they can exchange the data with a device on the
RS-485 network through the RS-485 serial control interface, and do not need to write any
program.
(10) High-speed Ethernet communication interface
zAHCPU500/510/520/530-EN is equipped with a 10/100 M Ethernet communication interface,
and supports emails, webs, and socket services.
zAfter users set the Ether Link in ISPSoft, they can exchange the data with a device in the
Ethernet network through the Ethernet communication interface, and do not need to write any
program.
zThe status or the error message related to the system is sent to users’ email boxes
immediately. Users do not need to be on the spot to understand the problem.
(11) Memory card
zThe memory card has the following functions.
System backup: The user program, the CPU parameters, the module table, the setting value
in the device
System recovery: The user program, the CPU parameters, the module table, and the setting
value in the device
Parameter storage: The value in the device
Log storage: The system error log and the system status log
(12) Hot swap
zThe AH500 series I/O modules support the on-line uninterruptible hot swap. When the
system runs, users can replace the module which breaks down without disconnecting the
module. After the module is replaced, the new module runs normally. Users do not need to
set the module manually or switch the state.
(13) Supporting the on-line debugging mode
zAfter a single instruction step has been complete, or after a breakpoint is specified, users can
easily find the bug in the program by means of the on-line debugging mode supported by the
AH500 series CPU module.
zIf users want to enter the debugging mode, the CPU module must run.After users enable the
on-line monitoring function, they have to click . The debugging screen varies from
programming language to programming language, but the same operation applies to these
programming languages. For theAH500 series PLC, structured texts do not support the
debugging mode, and sequential function charts support the debugging mode during the
action and the transition.

program without affecting the operation of the system.
zWhen the system is in the on-line monitoring mode, users can enter the on-line editing mode
by clicking .
