Vipa's new ECOnomical PLC modules and accessories keep costs down for smaller and simpler automation systems
As part of its System 200V range, Vipa the German designer and manufacturer of modular automation solutions offer an alternative range of lower cost fieldbus and I/O expansion modules Known as the ECOnomical range, these modules have been engineered to provide mid-range specifications which are often required by smaller and more straightforward centralised automation applications

Integrated HMI and PLC made for automation
Integrated HMI and PLC system is said to provides everything required for small to medium sized automation tasks and uses what is claimed to be the fastest hard PLC in the world.
The ECOnomical range includes Profibus-DP and CANopen slave modules, each with potential for eight expansion modules.
For I/O expansion, the range covers 8 and 16 channel digital input and output units, and 4 channel/12-bit analog input and output units with both +/-10V and 4-20mA configuration.
Cost savings of up to 50% can be achieved when comparing these modules with full-featured System 200V alternatives and all modules can be freely mixed to optimise costs in more complex systems.
The compact and modular VIPA System 200V control system has programming options for Siemens Step7, an extensive range of expansion modules and includes a wide choice of master and slave fieldbus options.
It is a well matched and scaleable PLC solution, aimed at small to medium, centralised or decentralised automation applications.
