Basic Stamp PLC Style Application Board

FYI
I am wondering if anyone has any interest in a PLC style Basic Stamp
II application board for use in industrial automation/controls.
If so attached are some photos of product that should be of interest.
This is an BSII controlling 8 inputs and 7 outputs with one output
assigned to an LCD port. The inputs accept isolated 24 volts signals,
NPN or PNP or discrete switches/sensors.
The 24 volt inputs are optoisolated. The outputs are rated for 200ma
to 1 amp as open collector drivers. The board directly takes in 24vdc
to power up the BSII via a switching regulator and the same 24vdc
power is available via the 4 position terminals to power up standard
proximity sensors, or photo-optic of either type, NPN or PNP flavors.
Anyone interested in using a Basic Stamp in an industrial
applications, please reply via this address.
Thanks,
Ron

That's a great looking setup Ron.
I'm not sure if he is listening in here--be sure Chuck Gracey at Parallax
knows about it. He has been keen on BASIC Stamps applied as PLCs.

This is an area I am very interested in. I work in an industrial environment
everyday and just recently purchased the BSII starter kit and some other
goodies. I currently use Allen Bradley PLC's and have a few projects which I
think the BSII will be MUCH more cost effective. I am still learning the
concepts of the programming and how the BS handles the logic. It is a lot
different than the ladder logic I am used to in the PLC's. I would be very
interested in more info and pricing on your idea as you get it available.
Thanks!

near the Stamp. It doesn't affect? How can we avoid the stamp reset due this

switching a 240 volt ac motor with zero problems ever, outside noise
should'nt be a problem with the reset. Also am very interested in the PLC
replacement option.

For starters you will need to use twisted pair and/or twisted pair shielded
cables for your input lines to the Basic Stamp. This is just plain standard
procedure when interfacing with low voltage level devices. You can usually
get away without the shielding by using 24vdc for the inputs however I
recommend that you always use twisted pair cables, also opto-isolation helps
as well. Noise is always a problem in an industrial environment.
I use the 8052 group of microcontrollers instead of the Stamp simply because
it is much more cost effective and I get 64 I/O using input and output 3 to 8
latches etc. Even with the cost of the extra components it ends up around
the cost of a Stamp 2 Industrial. It does however, require a considerable
amount of extra circuitry but you get a lot more out of it. If you use the
BASIC interpreter either on board the MicroMint chip or in an EPROM the
programming is just as simple if not more so than the Stamp. Even the BASIC
version of the 8052 only costs $20.00 and is extemely powerful.
On the side of the Stamp, you can directly connect to the I/O without the
need of extra decoding chips or latches. And since the Stamp will run at the
higher voltages that too is a definate plus when it comes to interfacing.
If I can be of any help please let me know. I design, fabricate and, install
CNC controls based on a PC and found that it is much easier for me to design
and build my own PLC devices. Not to mention that it is a lot cheaper. Even
the most inexpensive commercial PLC units become rather costly when you start
adding the components you need to actually do the job.

For those working in the industrial environment, I have a BSII Board
which interfaces with 24 volt sensors and outputs PLC style. Attached
are photos of typical industrial photo, pressure and proximity
sensors.
This will be last call for those who had previously voiced an interest
in such a device for problem solving within the industrial
environment. Attached is a photo of Revision B. For those wishing to
save a few dollars the board is still available as a kit. After this
offer has gone out, come the first of the year the board will only be
offered as an assembled board.
**********************************************************************
****************
Features:
Revision B has over 150 Parts which make up this module, BSII not
included.
5 volt Switching Regulator: This results in high efficiency and low
heat when converting from 24 VDC to 5 volts.
1.5 Amp Capacity @ 5 volts, is available should one wish to use a
power hungry VFD Display with this module.
TO-92 Darlingtons are used as open collector outputs with flyback
diodes on the board for protection against inductive spikes. 500 ma
capacity nominal for outputs.
Inputs are easily configured to use with both flavors of industrial 24
volt sensors both PNP and NPN. Sensors will derive their power from
the sensor input connections. There is no need to assemble a large
section of DIN Rail terminal blocks to distribute power to Sensors. A
DIN Rail fuse block is recommended to power up this module.
The Inputs will also accept 2 wire switches and various photo
transistors, or hall effect sensors with open collectors.
The LCD output connector is configured pin for pin to mate with a
Scott Edwards Serial LCD Backpack Interface. Thus the connector has 5
pins set up as +5, Gnd, Serial Out, Gnd, +5 identical to the LCD
Serial Backpack. Its hard to improve on such a good device interface.
Please fill out the following section, then cut and paste into a
return e-mail ( ronaldsa@e... ) to note your preference.

Just dropping you a short message to let you know a larger version of
the Stamp controllers is available.
BSIO Modules
All inputs are opto-isolated allowing for a good deal of flexibility.
The Inputs are easily configured to use with both flavors of
industrial 24 volt sensors both PNP and NPN optical photo sensors, or
proximity sensors. The Inputs will also accept switches or contacts,
various photo transistors and hall effect sensors with open
collectors. Input Sensors derive their power from the 4 terminal
input connections. Thus there is no need to assemble a large section
of DIN Rail terminal blocks to distribute power to Sensors. A DIN
Rail fuse block is recommended to power up this module.
TO-92 Darlingtons are used as open collectors on the BSIO16 Module.
Outputs have a 500 ma capacity nominal, with flyback diodes on the
board for protection against inductive spikes when coupled with
pneumatic solenoids, relays or motors. ULN2803 Driver is used on the
BSIO32 with 100-200 ma per output.
Other features include a 5 volt Switching Regulator: This results in
high efficiency and low heat when converting from 24 VDC to 5 volts
with a 1.5 Amp Capacity @ 5 volts, should one wish to use a power
hungry VFD Display with this module. An LCD output connector is
configured for a pin to pin mate with a Serial LCD Backpack
Interface.
These Controllers come with DIN rail holder ready for your mounting.
The BSIO16 module with DIN rail mounting with a BSII or BSIIe CPU is
available for $349.00, without the BSII CPU, the module is $289.00.
The BSIO32 module with DIN rail mounting and BSII40p CPU is available
for $499.00 without BSII40p (if you have one already) then the module
is available for $389.00.
The BSIO32 has two direct I/O connection ports to allow the use of
microwire, in the addressing of specialty chips, such as ADC's, DAC's,
and EEPROM's.
