Control 48 I/O Signals with One Programmable Logic Module

March 4, 2015

PLC Logic is a compact microcontroller that plugs a small housed logic module, programmable with LOGIC software, directly into relays, allowing users to switch and control up to 48 I/O signals with a single system. This simple microcontroller saves space and simplifies maintenance by eliminating the need for a standalone controller. The PLC Logic, suited for small automation applications, is only 50 mm wide and contains replaceable 6.2-mm relays. Tutorials and software downloads are available on Phoenix’s website.
