Expander block increases relay
functionality
With the introduction of an analogue output expander block, relay can perform closed loop control, for example for an industrial food fryer which would require close maintaining of a set temperature.
Idec Electronics has introduced the Smart Relay FL1D series which introduces extra capabilities at the same cost as earlier models The Smart Relay series was introduced two to three years ago offering a range of programmable relays with or without a front display

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
Different functions can be programmed including timing, counting, calendar, clock and text displays.
Different supply options, the ability to set up analogue inputs and volt free contacts rated at 10A mean the relay had the flexibility to meet any control situation requiring sequencing, timed and counting operations.
With the introduction of an analogue output expander block, the FL1D can perform closed loop control (proportional and integral), for example for an industrial food fryer which would require close maintaining of a set temperature.
Another added function is the analogue ramp to provide varying speed levels for motors and conveyers.
The FL1D can hold up to 130 of these functions in its memory and can add up to seven expansion I/O blocks.
When using the programming software, the control circuit can be simulated and tested before downloading into the FL1D, so providing easy checking of the intended application.
Supply options are 12 and 24V DC, 24V AC or 100 to 240V AC or DC, and 0 to 10V analogue inputs and outputs, 1kHz high speed counters and relay or transistor outputs.
