ELC Controller Features
There are 5 controller styles:
■
PB Series (Basic) – 14 I/O (8i/6o).
Over 130 instructions provide all the
power you need. Add expansion
modules to the right side of the unit
to create applications with up to 230
I/O points. Two Modbus (ASCII/RTU)
serial ports for master/slave com-
munications. The master port is
RS-485 with the ability to communi-
cate to 31 other devices. The master
port can also be configured to com-
municate to devices such as ASCII,
bar code readers, etc. The program
is stored in EEPROM for retention in
the event of power loss. This unit
does not provide a real-time clock.
■
PC Series (Clock/Calendar) – 12 I/O
(8i/4o). Same features as the basic
model plus clock/calendar, distrib-
uted I/O capability with up to 16
devices, and file area for data stor-
age and retrieval. The program is
stored in RAM with battery backup.
The replaceable battery has greater
than a 5-year life. This unit also has
2 digital potentiometers that vary
the data in internal registers.
■
PA Series (Analog) – 10 I/O (6i/4o).
Same features as PC Series with a
different I/O mix. This unit has a
total I/O mix of 4 digital inputs,
2 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs,
and 2 analog outputs. The analog
channels can be set up for either
voltage or current. This unit has
(2) 7-segment LEDs that can be
used to display unit ID, error codes,
process steps, etc.
■
PH Series (High-Speed) – 12 I/O
(8i/4o). All the features of the PC
Series with the added ability to
capture or output pulses up to 100
kHz and includes single-axis motion
control.
■
PV Series (Advanced) – 28 I/O
(16i/12o). The PV Series has the
most extensive feature set of the
ELC controllers. It allows for expan-
sion up to 508 I/O points and is
compatible with the same expan-
sion modules, specialty modules
and software. Programs written
for the other controllers can be
migrated to a PV controller where
greater speed or more I/O is
required. Compared to the current
ELC controllers, the PV series
provides 10 times improvement
in speed for about 0.24µ seconds/
step. The program is stored in RAM
and backed using a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. No need to
change batteries. Controller also
includes 2-axis motion control.
The new PV series controller adds an
additional expansion bus to the left of
the controller. While the PV series is
compatible with today’s current
expansion modules, which extend to
the right of the controller, you can
add high-speed and specialty modules
to the left. Left side Ethernet master
and DeviceNet master modules are
available for use with the PV Series
controller.
