02 Introduction
PLC host composition
According to the different hardware structure, PLC could be divided into main unit, expansion module and BD board.
WECON PLC has the built-in battery, CPU and I/O points. The PLC CPU could connect with I/O expansion modules to expend the I/O point number or connect with some special function expansion modules.

Expansion module
WECON PLC has many kinds of expansion modules, including I/O module, analog input and output module, high speed output module and Ethernet communication protocol.
- Expansion cable
- Com light: always on when digital transmission is normal
- 24V: always on when connect with external 24V power supply
- Module power status light: Always on when normal
- The name of the expansion module
- Analog signal output terminal
- Expansion interface
- DIN rail mounting clip
- DIN rail hooks

The PLC CPU and the expansion module are the same size in height and depth, but different width. So they could connect with each other in a neat form, also the configuration is flexible.
Figure 5
BD module
Compared with expansion module, BD module is smaller, more flexible (up to 2 BD modules in one PLC) and cheaper, but also with multi-function. Because the BD module is installed in the host unit, so it will not occupy extra space.

Mount the plc in the DIN (35mm) rail directly. Gently pull out the DIN rail mounting clip from below, then we could remove the main unit from DIN rail. The mounting holes could be used to directly mount the programmable controller with M4 screws. Please refer to the following table for the pitch and location of mounting holes.

PLC series function appendix
The naming rules of Wecon PLC:
①~⑥ in the model name composition indicate the following specifications:
① Number of input
② Number of output
③ Output mode: R= Relay output (with contact, AC and DC load dual purpose)
T=transistor output (for non-contact, DC load)
④ Expansion port: 4H = high-speed pulse output with 4 axes
2H = High-speed pulse output with 2 axes
⑤ Power supply type: A: AC220V input, omitted as the default AC220V; D: DC24V input.
⑥ Instruction set: 1=1S instruction set; 2=2N instruction set, none = default 2N instruction set.
The specific function parameters are shown in the figure below:
