Control relay becomes even smarter
The SmartRelay FL1C series is the next generation of SmartRelay devices, complemented by the updated programming software WindLGC version 4.0.
True universal input on big 10A power supply
The new PS5R-G24 boasts a massive 10 Amps at 24VDC and features a true universal input (85-264VAC or 105-370VDC) that allows the user to ship their equipment anywhere in the world
Intelligent relay programmed from built-in display
Just released to the UK market by Idec Electronics of Basingstoke, is the all new intelligent relay called "SmartRelay", which provides control functions for a variety of applications
The FL1C has double the program memory and with a capacity for 130 function blocks the most complicated timing and counting operations can be catered for.
With a 4 x 12 character backlit LCD screen and cursor keys that can be configured as inputs to the program, the FL1C provides the user with an interaction to his process without paying for expensive HMI screens.
Seven types of base module allow for any voltage supply to be catered for and five different expansion modules add extra inputs/outputs if required.
In addition AS-interface and LonWorks communication modules are available.
The programming software WindLGC V4.0 provides additional enhancements that allow for greater ease in using the FL1C series.
New features include online monitoring, easy ladder programming (similar to a PLC) as well as function block, programme comparison, time simulation and of course the useful feature of circuit simulation on a PC is still provided as on the earlier software versions.
WindLGC V4.0 can run on Windows XP, Me, 2000, 98, 95 and NT.
Options include 12V DC, 24V AC/DC or 100 to 240V AC/DC supply and input options, 0 to 10V analogue inputs, 1kHz high-speed counters and relay or transistor outputs.
