ELC Overview
ELC Modules
The Eaton Logic Controller (ELC) is our
latest offering into the PLC (Program-
mable Logic Controller) marketplace.
Using the latest technology, this
reduced sized ELC with its abundant
module selection will provide a
“Just Right” concept of providing only
what you want for the price you need.
■
Size
— Providing large PLC features/
functions in a small 1" package.
ELC is 1/3 the size of past PLC
products (D50 model), offering
identical and even a larger feature
set than the D50. ELC can provide 46
I/O in the space that a D50 could
provide 14 I/O.
■
Flexibility
— ELC controllers can
handle I/O counts from 10 I/O to 256
I/O using the same controller. ELC
eliminates the process of counting
I/O and deciding which controller to
use, ELC is the only one needed.
ELC modules come in many flavors
of I/O from modules containing
4 in / 4 out to modules containing
8 in / 8 out. ELC is not a rack-based
system — it simply mounts to a DIN
rail. Add modules by simply snap-
ping them into the mating connec-
tors and closing the attached locks.
■
Large PLC Features
— ELC has the
feature set of larger PLCs, from its
multiple communications ports,
remote I/O ability, data storage, high
speed counter, high speed pulse
outputs, interrupts, timer resolution
to 1 ms, PID, plus much more.
■
Software
— ELCSoft, the software,
configures the entire line of ELC
controllers. Economically priced,
it programs in standard ladder logic
and sequential function chart pro-
gramming. It will aid in knowing
what registers are in use and what
modules are attached to the ELC. It
monitors the runtime application,
allows forcing (except basic), and
entering values. Software wizards
aid programming of remote I/O,
standard communications and PIDs.
■
Power of One
— ELC communicates
easily to Eaton type MVX Adjustable
Frequency Drives eliminating the
need to operate drives by analog
voltage/current or digital I/O. ELC
can access all of the parameters in
the MVX by serial communications.
ELC communicates to
IT.
I/O through
the Modbus TCP gateway. This
allows ELC to control the
IT.
I/O if
local control is desired. This will
also allow
IT.
I/O to be used in com-
municating MCC applications where
the ELC can be either a DeviceNet™,
PROFIBUS
T
, or Modbus
T
TCP
communicating MCC. ELC commu-
nicates to PowerNet
E
Modbus
products, allowing ELC connectivity
to Switchgear and PowerNet
applications.
ELC Controllers
The ELC family offers four styles of
controllers. These controllers offer
combinations of the following features:
■
High speed pulse capture and high
speed pulse output on all controllers.
■
Interrupts.
■
Broad module selection ac/dc in,
relay/transistor out.
■
Wide selection of analog in, out,
combined, thermocouple or RTD
Platinum.
■
Over 200 instructions to choose
from: Floating point math, commu-
nications, hex, decimal, octal, BCD,
ASCII conversion, 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, bit
manipulations, logical, block move,
block compare, retentive data stor-
age, time base from clock/calendar.
■
Two Modbus (ASCII or RTU) serial
ports: 1 slave only, 1 master/slave.
■
Network communications on Modbus
TCP, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS.
■
ELC controller can be wired for
remote I/O communications (except
the PB model).
