iPLC - Programmable Limit Switch Controller
for Stand Alone Applications |
Series iPLC systems are designed to accurately synchronize
machine functions to the absolute position of a rotating shaft.
Each system provides a number of programmable limit switch
(PLS) outputs, which may be used to control machine functions
with mechanical or solid state relays in a stand-alone system
or in conjunction with Programmable Limit Controllers (PLCs)
or industrial computers. Additional standard features include
a Tachometer, Motion Detector (MD) output, and Inhibit input.
A wide variety of software and hardware options are also available.
The minimum configuration for each iPLC System includes:
1) a controller unit which includes an operator display/keypad
for monitoring the system, as well as programming the PLS
and MD outputs; 2) a relay board or interface module for transferring
input/output signals; and 3) a brushless, resolver-based transducer.
System expansion capabilities allow you to add up to four
transducers and multiple relay boards to provide up to 64
PLS outputs, with multiple limit setpoints programmable for
each output channel. Each system can include one, two, or
four transducers to support one-axis, two-axis or four-axis,
applications. 100 Turn and 180 Turn Absolute Software options
are also available to support high resolution multi-turn absolute
limit applications.
