IDEC Corporation is proud to announce the new FL1C series, the next generation of IDEC SmartRelay, and updated programming software WindLGC version 4.0.
FL1C IDEC SmartRelay
The IDEC SmartRelay is the perfect choice to fill the gap between simple relay/timer/counter control circuits and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) where higher processing and I/O counts are required. At IDEC, you can count on our Smart Products to provide Simple Solutions.
With a new 32-bit processor that provides faster scan time, double the program memory, and 130 function blocks for programming, the number of counters and timers that can be programmed into the IDEC SmartRelay is unlimited. Think of all the components that you can replace with just one IDEC SmartRelay!
It has a 4 x 12 character backlit LCD screen, shift registers, and cursor keys that can be configured as inputs. In addition, with the new memory cartridge, you can define the system security allowing for more flexibility and versatility.
Seven different base modules are available with voltage ranges from 12V DC, 24V AC/DC to 100-240V AC/DC. Each CPU module has 12 built-in I/O points (8 inputs/4 outputs), a real-time clock and calendar.
There are five available expansion I/O modules and two communication modules, which work with any FL1C series CPU. Four are combination I/O modules with 4 input and 4 output points. There are also LONWORKS® and ASInterface communication modules, and a 2-point analog input module. Maximum I/O configuration for the FL1C IDEC SmartRelay is 24 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, and 8 analog inputs. The IDEC SmartRelay has proven itself to be easy to use and can be programmed in minutes.
Programming Software - WindLGC
WindLGC is the software that enables you to edit, save, and print your IDEC SmartRelay programs. The upgrade to version 4.0 provides additional enhancements that allow for greater ease in using the FL1C series. New features include online monitoring, easy ladder programming, program comparison, time simulation and four new function blocks. It is as easy as clicking and linking the function blocks you need to get your program up and running. Complicated circuits can be devised using the convenient features of WindLGC. Utilize an analog signal as a set point for timers/counters and a decimal point for analog values. Still available is the ability to program in function blocks and to save programs in PDF or JPG format.
WindLGC operates on Windows® XP, ME, 2000, 98, 95 and NT platforms. To upgrade to the new version or for a WindLGC demo, go to www.idec.com/usa/smartrelay. You can then download the upgrade or demo freeof- charge.
