PRO-Logic programmable controllers

EKF has a long-awaited new product in our automation equipment range. It is a programmable logic controller (PLC). It’s time to present this product in detail.

PRO-Logic function

PLC PRO-Logic is designed to build systems for monitoring and automating control of various technological systems: lighting, ventilation, heating, water supply, water treatment, conveyors, packing belts, etc.

PRO-Logic main data

• 24 V DC power supply
• input/output signals: discrete and analog
• types of output signals: 2 A e/m relays or NPN transistors
• interfaces: RS-485 and Ethernet

PRO-Logic controller features:

1. Reliable and convenient mounting

• Removable spring-type terminals
• Simple connection
• Time saving
• Reliable connection
• Vibration resistance
• No broaching required

2. Integration into monitoring and control systems

• Integrated standard interfaces for connection to peripheral devices (sensors, frequency converters, operator’s panels) and control systems (OPC, SCADA )
• Ethernet (protocol Modbus TCP)
• RS-485 (protocols Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII)

3. Scalability

• Increase in the number of input/output points to 256!
• Extension modules:
  • Discrete modules
  • Analogue modules
  • Temperature modules (thermocouples, thermal resistance)
  • Interface modules (RS-232/485)

4. Indication of system status

• Visual control:
  • Input and output status
  • Device status
  • Available errors
• Communication with peripheral devices

5. Saving space

Compact size and DIN rail mounting

6. High-speed computation and control

High speed inputs and outputs 200 kHz

7. Connection of temperature sensors

• Thermal resistances: Pt100, Pt1000, Cu50, Cu100
• Thermocouples: S, K, E, J, B, N, R, Wre3/25, Wre5/26

8. Easy configuration and programming

• PRO-Logic master: free project development environment.
• Standard programming languages: FBD, LD, IL.
• Integrated library with support for 188 functions.
• Built-in simulator for system debugging.

PRO-Logic application areas

• Heating, ventilation, air conditioning.
• Metal processing.
• Woodworking.
• Water treatment, water supply.
• Food processing industry.
• Conveyors, packaging, bottling.

Benefits of using PRO-Logic controllers:

• Process optimization and operating cost reduction
• Equipment condition monitoring and predictive review
• Stability and safety of system operation
