Overview

A compact programmable controller delivering reliable relay‑based output switching for small to mid‑scale automation tasks. Designed as a cost‑effective alternative to larger systems, it provides both AC and DC load control in a DIN‑rail mountable form factor. Well‑suited for OEMs, machine builders, and facilities requiring dependable automation at a compact scale.

I/O Capabilities

  • 16 digital inputs supporting sink (NPN) and source (PNP) wiring at 24 VDC.
  • 16 relay outputs capable of switching 24 VDC or 220 VAC loads (2 A per point, 5 A per common).
  • Relay isolation ensures electrical separation between controller and field devices.
  • 2 analog inputs supporting voltage (0–10 V, 1–10 V, 0–5 V, 1–5 V) and current (0–20 mA, 4–20 mA).
  • 2 analog outputs configurable for voltage (0–10 V) or current (4–20 mA).
  • Total of 36 onboard I/O channels — no expansion required for standard use.

Communication & Connectivity

  • Ethernet 10/100 Base‑T for networking and remote programming.
  • RS‑232 and RS‑422/RS‑485 serial ports for legacy and third‑party integration.
