Less than half the size of a typical brick PLC, the ELC is a micro-PLC with features previously found only in larger, much more expensive rack-mount PLCs: Built-in digital and analog I/O for low-cost standalone control Local I/O expandable to 256 I/O expansion modules connect easily with no extra wiring Removable terminal blocks for easy wiring 2 serial ports with Modbus RTU supported on both Real-time clock/calendar High-speed pulse inputs and outputs Powerful instruction set: --- Floating point math --- Trig functions --- Clock/calendar instructions --- Modbus RTU/ASCII instructions --- High-speed pulse capture/pulse output --- Interrupts --- Matrix operations --- Retentive data storage --- Stepper motor positioning control --- PID functions with Autotune --- Fuzzy temperature control With the ELC, I/O can be local or highly distributed.

All of the ELC specialty and analog modules (analog I/O, thermocouple, RTD, motion control) are capable of remote connection via a 2-wire RS485 interface using Modbus protocol. Additional remote I/O modules are available (see link below.) Choose from one of 5 different controller styles: PB models: 14 local I/O expandable to 256, 3.8K program steps, 2 serial ports PC models: 12 local I/O expandable to 256, 7.9K program steps, 2 serial ports, clock/calendar, 2 setpoint potentiometers PH models: 12 local I/O expandable to 256, 7.9K program steps, 2 serial ports, clock/calendar, 2 setpoint potentiometers, 100 KHz high-speed counters and pulse outputs PA models: 10 local I/O (including analog I/O) expandable to 256, 7.9K program steps, 2 serial ports, clock/calendar, 2 configurable 7-segment displays PV models: 28 local I/O expandable to 512, 16K program steps, 2 serial ports, clock/calendar, 2 setpoint potentiometers, 200 KHz high-speed counters and pulse outputs The ELC-PH12 model PLC provides high-speed pulse outputs which can be used to drive any of Omega's step direction stepper drives. The ELCSoft ladder logic software has built-in step motor functions which make programming your motion control application easy.

The STM23S-2AN is an integrated stepper drive + stepper motor which accepts pulses from a PLC. Add the ELCSoft programming software, ELC-CBPCELC1 programming cable, and OMPS150A24 power supply for a complete motion-control system that costs less than $1000. General-Purpose Signal Conditioners for any PLC ***New! *** Universal Remote I/O Modules: Digital, Analog, Thermocouple, RTD Order a starter kit! Includes an ELC controller, ELC graphics panel, power supply, cables, software.

See "Accessories" below. PLEASE NOTE: All of the PLCs require the ELCSOFT software and either ELC-CBPCELC1 or ELC-CBPCELC3 programming cable.
