“Solid choice for small PLC applications. The transistor outputs handle fast pulses, and relay outputs drive heavy loads. Analog I/O cover most sensor types. Reliable, cost-effective.”

“We stock this unit for quick replacement. Its wide voltage tolerance and low heat generation make it ideal for harsh factory floors. A proven performer.”

Q: Can I use this controller with 110 V and 230 V?
A: Yes – it accepts 85…264 V AC automatically.
Q: How many analog inputs does it have?
A: Two analog inputs (4…20 mA / 0…20 mA) and two analog outputs (voltage/current).
Q: Is programming cable included?
A: No. Use standard USB Mini-B cable (not supplied).
Q: What is the maximum relay switching current?
A: 2 A per relay (resistive load).
Q: Can I expand I/O later?
A: Yes – up to 7 expansion modules.
Experience-based Q:
Q: The transistor output seems not switching – what to check?
A: Ensure load is within 0.5 A and use external flyback diode for inductive loads.
Purchase guide Q:
Q: Which model to choose – relay or transistor?
A: Choose relay for heavy AC loads; transistor for fast DC switching (e.g., servos). This model has both.
