Dedicated models integrated on a proven PLC platform — no add-on modules or secondary development.

Weighing PLC — weighing acquisition CPU Weighing

Weighing PLC

Bridge-sensor interface on board, outputting raw AD values; the high-speed version samples 400 times per second with roughly 100,000 counts of resolution. The weighing port also accepts RTDs or thermocouples for high-accuracy temperature measurement. Sample programs included.

1–2 weighing channelsUp to 400 HzUsable as temperature input
DC motor control PLC Motor

DC motor control PLC

Full-bridge output drives 24V brushed DC motors at 20A PWM, with speed control, forward / reverse, braking, overload and short-circuit protection — suited to packaging machinery and vehicle equipment.

PWM 20AFull-bridge driveOverload protection
CT-sensing PLC — current protection controller Current sensing

CT-sensing PLC

Up to nine current transformers sense AC current up to 50A, with 12 inputs and 10 outputs — easy to build into a motor protector or current monitor.
