Galil Motion Control (Rocklin, CA) has announced the RIO- 47300 Pocket PLC that includes I/O, screw terminals, and two Ethernet ports that allow management of an unlimited number of inputs and outputs without an external Ethernet switch. The controller features 24 digital inputs and 24 outputs for a total of 48 optically isolated digital I/O. The system uses a RISC processor for fast handling of I/O and logic, and allows 400 program lines, 254 variables, 1,000 array elements, 6 PID control loops, and 5 Ethernet handles. Other standard features include PID process control loops, timers, counters, Web interface, email alerts, data logging, and the ability to read position and temperature sensors.
