    Modules (Sold Separately)

    Support for up to 188 inputs and outputs—these PLCs are ideal for basic tasks where more advanced PLCs would be overkill, such as operating lighting and HVAC systems. They’re also known as smart relays. Connect these PLCs to your Ethernet network to control devices anywhere in your facility. They use an open communication protocol, so you can mix and match devices from different manufacturers. Mount them to 35 mm DIN rail in your electrical cabinet or use mounting brackets (sold separately) to secure them to a flat surface.
    You’ll need a license key (sold separately) for the manufacturer’s software. Write your program in common PLC languages, such as Ladder Logic and Structured Text, then transfer your program to the PLC with an Ethernet cord. Use the software to monitor, test, and troubleshoot issues in real time. Add a memory card to back up, store, and transfer programs to multiple machines.
    These PLCs have digital inputs and outputs.
    Digital Signal Input/Output Expansion Modules

    Increase the number of digital inputs and outputs you can control with these PLCs. These modules send and receive on-off or high-low signals, so you can integrate devices such as limit switches and lights.
    Add expansion modules to PLCs when your system grows or needs new functionality. All modules have an LED status indicator to show the device is powered and running.
    Screw Terminals—Screw terminals are the most common wire connection—insert your wires and tighten the screws to secure them.
    Relay Output—PLCs with relay outputs are ideal for devices that switch a few times per minute, such as compressors.
