The ECLIPS is one of the most versatile pieces of PLC training equipment available today. You simply specify which, and how many, modules you need built in to your trainer and we supply it to you ready to use – complete with appropriate training manuals.
This way you only pay for what you actually need.
Ordering Information
Base Unit
The base unit consists of the PLC (32 digital I/O – 16 inputs and 16 relay outputs), Aluminium case, PC to PLC programming cable, Windows Based PC programming software (ladder and statement list). 10 inputs and 10 outputs are brought to input switches and output LEDs on the trainer for simulation programmes. |
Applications Module: Analogue Unit
Contains 2 Analogue Inputs and 1 analogue output channel, voltmeter for displaying analogue outputs, 2 potentiometers (0 – 10 volts) to simulate the inputs. This module also allows the user to connect their own analogue signals (2 in and 1 out). Note that a PLC Analogue unit is also part of this add-on module. |
Applications Module: Thumbwheel & Display Unit
Contains two digital thumbwheels and two 7-segment displays. This module requires the use of 6 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs – these are the unallocated I/O on the base unit. |
Applications Module: Encoder Unit
This training package uses a real industrial rotary encoder for connecting to any one of E&L’s PLC training units. Rotary encoders are widely used in industry for positioning and counting applications. ‘Incremental’ versions are ideal for rotational counting and speed control, whilst ‘Absolute’ versions can be used in conjunction with, say, rotary cam positioners for positioning applications. This training package uses the incremental type of rotary encoder. |
HMI Display Panel
HMI: Human Machine Interfaces, or also referred to as Operator Panels, are increasingly used in industry. Connects directly to the PLC programming port |
PLC / PLC Communications Module This allows for one PLC to communicate with another in peer-to-peer mode. Fits directly to the PLC.
PLC Master / Slave Communications Module A low cost way to start making your PLC communicate with another PLC for Master / Slave mode. Fits directly to the PLC.
