Eaton Cutler-Hammer ELC (electronic load controller) programmable logic controller from FactoryMation LLC includes built-in I/O connectors on its CPUs to operate as a standalone controller and can add expansion modules to its no-rack design by snapping them into mating connectors. ELC controllers are available in 10, 12, and 14 I/O configurations from $93 with two serial ports, pulse input/output motion control, autotune PID, and pluggable terminal blocks in a compact 1-in.-wide package. Communication capabilities from the two built-in serial ports allow the controllers to network to RS-232/RS-485 Modbus compatible devices, operator interfaces, remote I/O points, dial-up or cellular/wireless modems, VFDs, or any ASCII I/O device. All are expandable to 256-I/O points using ELC digital or analog expansion modules.
