| 1.
Nano-10 based Building Automation System This Powerpoint presentation shows how a BAS system has successfully been constructed using Nano-10 PLCs as master PLCs to control up to 40 load per building via RS485. The built-in web control capability of the Nano-10 is being used as user interface. Please click on the picture to watch the video and Power Point presentations. For more information about this system please contact: Ing. Jesus Antonio Baez Moreno, |

| 2. Internet Accessible Home Control System Click on the following video to view a real-life home automation project description submitted by a Nano-10 system integrator:

You can implement a small control system to directly control some
equipment in your home and add an web page interface to it in no time. By combining with low cost Wi-Fi bridge (e.g. D-Link DAP1522), multiple Nano-10 PLCs can easily be connected to a HOME Wi-Fi Network. This allows you to easily retrofit the Nano-10s into an existing home or commercial building to implement your customized home automation. Since the Nano-10 can perform M2M communcation readily your intelligent home is therefore served by multiple brains coordinating among themselves.

| 3. Nano-10 As Modbus TCP/IP Gateways for Sensors Nano-10 built-in Modbus TCP/IP Server allows simultaneous connections by up to 5 Modbus TCP/IP clients. With only a few lines of program code you can immediately collect data from your current sensors and makes them available to the factory-wide SCADA or Enterprise network Host Computer. Best of all, you can also perform some pre-processing (e.g. compute the moving average, scaling or linearization) of the data or perform local control with its powerful yet simple to learn Ladder+BASIC programming language. Since multiple communication protocols can coexist on the Ethernet network, Nano-10 provides an instant, low cost solution for sensor manufacturers or any users to connect the sensor to the modern control system. |

| 4. Quickly Create A Customized Basic Control Web Page Since the Nano-10 built-in web services employs the AJAX technology for equipment control, it allows you to quickly create a custom web page within a few minutes to control your equipment. Your user can then use any PC or smart phone (e.g. iPhone) web browser to view the equipment, with graphical illustrations. Best of all, your user does not need to install any application in order to view the operation of your equipment. So what they gain is a no-hassle, free Graphical HMI to interact with your equipment via the Internet. Imagine how much this capability would add to the competitive advantage of your equipment!

| 5. Data Logging and Control of MODBUS Devices. Data Can Be Logged To
Remote Server Via The Internet. Nano-10 can issue Modbus-RTU or Modbus ASCII commands to access many industrial devices and sensors such as power meters connected to its RS485 port. This means it can readily acquire data from any instrument that understands Modbus protocol. In addition, since Nano-10 can open a client connection to a remote server, it can log the acquired data to store as data files in the remote PC. |

| 6. Creating More Sophisticated Control Web Pages OEMs who have web page design expertise can create their own highly sophisticated customized webpage to control their equipment. The attached video is contributed by an OEM customer who has created a customized control web page for the Nano-10 PLC which is more sophisticated than the basic web control web page shipped with the PLC. Those who wish to purchase the control Javascript codes for this webpage can contact Joel Haggar of Infinite Automation Systems at email: joel@infiniteautomation.com |

| 7. Using Nano-10 As Remote I/O Host Since all TRiLOGI PLC products feature built-in RS485 port, the Nano-10 PLC can easily connect to a network of extremely low cost E10 or T100MD PLCs across a large facility. These remote PLCs can provide local control without supervision but can at the same time be controlled by the Nano-10. Multiple MDS100-BW LCD displays can also be accessed individually by the Nano-10 to display real time messages. With a simple <CONNECT> command the Nano-10 can even connect to and communicate with all other Nano-10 or F-series PLCs via the Internet! |
