The EPL101 PLC is a highly customizable OEM circuit board Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) designed for integration into specialized industrial applications. The EPL101 features a wide range of input and output options, including 4 analog inputs, 7 digital inputs, and 2 encoder inputs, providing flexibility for various control tasks. It is equipped with 6 relay outputs—5 rated for 5 Amps and 1 rated for 16 Amps—along with a 0-5V analog output. These outputs can be configured for simple on/off control or for more advanced control modes such as P, PI, PID, or PD control.
Key Features and Capabilities:
Versatile Input Options: Supports a wide range of input types, including K, S, T, R, J, or E type thermocouples, Pt100 and Ni100 RTDs, NTC10K thermistors, and sensors with 4-20mA, 0-20mA, 0-20mV, or 0-1V signals.
Comprehensive Output Control: Offers 6 relay outputs, with 5 rated for 5 Amps and 1 rated for 16 Amps, plus a 0-5V analog output. Outputs can be used for on/off control or advanced PID control strategies.
Digital Input Flexibility: Includes 6 digital PNP inputs with a frequency range up to 1 Hz and 2 NPN inputs capable of handling frequencies up to 2 KHz, accommodating various digital signal needs.
Programmable with PLprog Software: Utilizes PLprog software, allowing for programming with ladder diagrams, logic relays, timers, counters, and a variety of math and logic functions.
Real-Time Clock and Battery Backup: Equipped with a real-time clock and an optional backup battery, ensuring reliable time-keeping and uninterrupted operation during power outages.
