SoftPLC Processors

• Yes, you can buy hardware for less, but . . .
• Systems are assembled, software is installed
  configured, tested
• Reliability! Thousands of units in service
• Also, we can provide better technical support if
  the system is a known quantity
• Time is money
• You may spend more purchasing components to put
  the system together than simply purchasing from
  us and benefiting from our experience

• ISA and/or PCI slots
• A-B I/O
• PC board I/O
• Motion cards
• Customer doesnt want the controller to look like
  a PLC

Example Applications

• PCCARD10 for Tealware I/O interface
• Great for A-B PLC retrofit possibilities,
  retaining A-B I/O networks
• PLC-2, PLC-5, PLC-3, SLC-500, PLC-5/250
• VME Motion Control I/O cards becoming obsolete
