This PLC (progammable logic controller) from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range is optimised for the control of small, standalone industrial machines. The versatile device functions as a smart relay and features technologically advanced programming abilities that are user-friendly and compatible with a wide range of network interfaces. A handy status indicator quickly lets you know when a system error occurs. This device is suitable for panel or DIN rail mounting.

• 8A outputs eliminate the need for external relays
• Functions as a backup memory module for peace of mind
• Includes an embedded USB (universal serial bus) port for versatility
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +65°C so suitable for most industrial environments

• UL (Underwriters' Laboratories)
• C-Tick (electromagnetic compatibility)
• CE (Conformité Européene)

Ideally, your controller should be located as far away as possible from power lines, load lines and other sources of electrical noise, such as hard contact switches and AC motor drives. Choose a mounting surface that's well-grounded, as this unit is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. You can protect the PLC from harmful environmental exposure and electrical interference by using an industrial enclosure.
