It includes 22 I/O or 28 I/O options. Models include: 8 dc inputs and 6 dc outputs; 8 dc inputs and 6 dc outputs, 4 analog in, 4 analog out (voltage) with 12-bit resolution; 16 dc inputs and 8 dc outputs; or 16 dc inputs, 8 dc outputs, 2 analog in, 2 analog out (voltage or current) with 12-bit resolution.
For easy programming, it uses a single programming environment for PLC (ladder logic) and HMI applications. Data logging and recipe features are built-in, along with auto-tune proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. Ethernet for programming and remote access are available as options. It is made in the United States.
