Sunnyvale, Calif. —MicroSmart family of micro PLCs welcomes the addition of expandable, modular siblings. “Slim” style units are available with 20 or 40 I/O points with varying types of outputs. Each CPU module includes four high-speed counters, an RS-232 port, an analog potentiometer, and built-in analog input. Four types of expansion modules available include input, output with relay or transistor sink/source, combination, and analog, one of which can accept type J, K, T thermocouple or RTD inputs. An HMI module acts as a plug-in LCD screen. Ladder Logic programming is accomplished with the company’s WindLDR. www.idec.com . Idec
