LVDT two-wire interface has 4-20mA output
As most controllers use the simple 4-20mA system, RDP offers this output option on a wide range of transducers, either directly or in conjunction with a simple external module.
Open-frame PLCs run BASIC and Ladder-Logic
Audon Electronics has introduced three models of the CUSB range of low-cost open-frame PLCs, which run BASIC and Ladder-logic programs.
The PCS PLC supports up to 256 Digital I/O.
There is a dedicated communication port for programming and monitoring when connected to EZ Ladder running on a PC.
An optional second communication port is available in RS232, RS422, or RS485 and can be used with the Modbus Slave feature of the controller.
Also available are two CAN ports.
The Real Time Clock will allow the program to deal with hour, minute, second, month, day, year and day of week.
Two high-speed counters can operate up to 100kHz.
There are six analog inputs rated 0 to 5V DC or 0 to 20mA DC and four analog outputs rated 0 to 5V DC or 0 to 20mA DC, also two PWM outputs.
Included also in the PCS is a synchronous serial interface (SSI), which can be used with absolute encoders and other devices.
Power for the unit can be 12-30V DC or 10V AC.
Transformers are available for primary voltages of 24V AC, 110V AC and 220V AC.
The PCS PLC has a fast scan time.
A program with 75 rungs and 25 function blocks has a scan time of approximately 1 ms, using only 1873 bytes of the 64K program memory.
The PCS PLC can be DIN rail mounted.
The PCS PLC offers outstanding capabilities for the industrial control user in a small and very cost effective package.
The PCS PLC is another embedded PLC on a Chipa Technology product offered by Divelbiss Corporation to the control industry.
