AMCI Programmable Limit Switch Controller
Modules for
Allen-Bradley SLC500 |
Industry began using programmable limit switches (PLS) as
a direct replacement for mechanical cam switches because they
are easier to set up, and changes can be made quickly and
easily. However a major drawback of the stand-alone PLS was
that communicating with the PLC was difficult. AMCI changed
all of that by developing PLS modules for the SLC-500. These
programmable limit switch modules provide
the high-speed switching capability of a PLS in combination
with direct communication with the PLC.
