Frequently Asked Questions
What is the biggest benefit of this PLC?
It saves cost and space. You get a PLC and a 32-axis motion controller in one compact unit.
Can I control stepper motors with this?
Yes. Use the pulse outputs for simple steppers. For networked control, use EtherCAT stepper drives.
Is the software free and easy to use?
Yes. The programming software is free. It uses standard IEC languages familiar to engineers.
How do I know if this module fits my machine?
Count your servo axes. If you need more than 8 axes, this module is an excellent choice for performance and value.
What happens if the power goes out?
The large 800KB retain memory keeps your recipes and critical data safe without a battery.
How strong is the anti-interference design?
It uses industrial-grade components and circuit design. It performs well in noisy factory environments near heavy machinery.
