Mini PLCs save wiring, space, power and programming time

A range of ultra-compact mini PLCs that require no peripheral components for autonomous operation, thereby helping to simplify wiring and assembly is the latest extension to the RS Components automation and control portfolio. The Barth Elektronik STG-500 mini PLCs provide 10 I/Os and 19 I/Os respectively, comprising digital, analogue and PWM channels.

A temperature sensor is also built in. The STG-500 measures 40mm x 40mm x 22mm and has a universal aluminium mounting plate, while the STG-600 has an ultra-flat 10mm-high housing and maximum dimensions of 93mm x 45mm x 15mm.

Both models have very low current consumption and a wide operating voltage range of 7V to 32V, making them ideal for use in 12V or 24V battery-powered applications. Built-in protection for all I/Os, high shock and vibration resistance, and IP20 sealing, ensure reliability in harsh environments.

In addition, graphical programming capability makes these mini PLCs convenient and easy to use. The downloadable miCon-L software suite meets the standards of the latest graphical programming languages, and also integrates simulation and test capabilities. The flexible programming option offers a variety of possibilities in industrial, automotive and maritime applications.
