LS Electric 2-axis and Relay Output XGB PLC Models from AutomationDirect

August 7, 2024 - AutomationDirect has released three new LS Electric XGB PLC models that provide advanced control at an even lower cost. Two 16-point 2-axis motion PLC units and a 14-point relay output model are now available. The 2-axis PLC versions support pulse/direction control from the embedded I/O, featuring 4 high-speed inputs and 2 high-speed outputs, as well as EtherCAT motion using EtherCAT expansion modules.

The new relay output PLC provides 8 inputs, 4 offering high-speed capability, and 6 relay outputs supporting up to 2A per point. This PLC version can also support EtherCAT motion using the optional EtherCAT expansion modules.

The XG5000 programming software is a FREE download and features four of the five languages included in the IEC 61131 standard for industrial controllers. Ladder diagram, instruction list, sequential function chart, and structured text are all included so programmers can use the method they prefer. This software supports the typical PLC instructions, but also features a variety of specialized and state-of-the-art instructions available to use in your code development.

The motion-centric XG-PM software is provided free of charge in the same download as the XG5000 programming software. This software provides table-based position configurations of up to 400 moves per axis and a run command tool for easy position testing. With this software, the system can be configured for various single-axis and multi-axis operations.

The new LS Electric PLC models are offered at a lower cost than existing models, with the relay output version priced at only $279.00 and the new 2-axis models priced at $289.00. All three come with the required terminal blocks, so there is no need to purchase an additional breakout terminal board, resulting in even more savings. The new LS Electric PLCs also come with free technical support, a 45-day money-back guarantee, and a 2-year warranty.
