Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the difference between fast and standard outputs?
• A: Fast outputs (Q0…Q3) support PWM and PTO up to 100 kHz. Standard outputs run at 0.1 kHz.
• Q: Can I use this controller with a touchscreen HMI?
• A: Yes. Use Ethernet or Modbus serial to connect to most HMIs.
• Q: Does it support remote monitoring via internet?
• A: Yes. The Ethernet port supports Modbus TCP and Ethernet/IP for remote access.
• Q: How do I back up my program?
• A: Use the SD card slot or the built-in flash memory. Both store application and data.
• Q: What happens during a power failure?
• A: The real-time clock and backup battery retain data for about 1 year.
• Q: Is the controller suitable for marine use?
• A: Yes. It has LR, ABS, and DNV-GL marine certifications.
• Q: What is the warranty period?
• A: 12 months from date of purchase. Covers parts and labor.
• Q: How fast can you ship?
• A: We dispatch within 12 to 24 hours. Choose FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
• Q: Which software do I need to program it?
• A: Use EcoStruxure Machine Expert Basic or SoMachine.
• Q: Can I expand I/O later?
• A: Yes. Add up to 7 expansion modules for relay, analog, or digital I/O.

Purchasing Guide
