Features

Compact design: 1-slot volume, saves control cabinet space, suitable for small and medium-sized systems.

Stable main control performance: dedicated processor, efficient logic operations, suitable for conventional automation control.

Industrial-grade wide temperature range: 0 ℃ to + 60 ℃, adaptable to common harsh working conditions in factories and workshops.

Optical isolation protection: I/O is isolated from the backplane, reduces the risk of electromagnetic interference, and enhances system stability.

Standard communication compatibility: supports Modbus RTU, easy to network with upper computers, touch screens, and third-party devices.

Power-off data retention: built-in storage unit, no loss of program and critical data after power failure. Purpose

As the main control unit of a small PLC, it executes automated logic control programs.

It collects digital and analog signals from the field (sensors, switches, instruments).

It outputs control signals to actuators such as solenoid valves, relays, and frequency converters.

It realizes data interaction and communication between the PLC and the upper computer, HMI.

It builds an independent small control system or serves as the distributed I/O master control for large systems.

Application fields

Manufacturing: Small production lines, packaging machinery, machine tool auxiliary control, electronic equipment assembly lines.

Process industry: Water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceutical workshops, small-scale chemical process monitoring.

Infrastructure: Building automation, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), small-scale pumping station control.

Energy industry: Small-scale generator monitoring, photovoltaic / wind power auxiliary control, power distribution system monitoring.
