The Modular CPU delivers fast performance and rock-solid reliability for industrial automation systems at a low cost.
The mini–Modular CPU is very cost-effective. The CPU module has several functions built-in, such as a high-speed counter, positioning control function, floating-point arithmetic, 3-way simultaneous communication, and PID auto tuning.
This unit can also be configure with up to 11 other expansion modules to provide various functions. Additionally, there is a USB port and SD card slot for convenient program downloads.
This PLC is especially suitable for small to medium performance tasks. The Modular CPU is one of the most flexible, reliable, and powerful but simplest micro PLCs in the industrial world.
