Padlockable E - Stops: the XN Series from Idec
The IDEC one of a kind XN series illuminated and non-illuminated Emergency Stop Switches employ a direct opening action mechanism which meets IEC60947-5-5, 5.2, IEC60947-5-1, Annex K standards
The FL1C has doubled its programme 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 programme, 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 your 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 12VDC, 24V AC/DC, or 100 to 240V AC/DC supply and input options, 0 to 10V analogue inputs, 1 KHz high speed counters and relay or transistor outputs.
