Pico and Pico GFX-70 Programmable Controllers 3
Pico Overview
Small, Simple, and Flexible
The Allen-Bradley Pico controller performs simple logic, timing,
counting, and real-time clock operations. For enhanced functionality
and performance, the Pico GFX controller adds the use of a graphic
display while offering advanced programming features like PID
control, a high-speed counter, and Boolean sequences. Splitting the
difference between a timing relay and a low-end programmable
controller, the Pico controllers are ideal for relay replacement
applications where simple control applications such as building,
HVAC, and parking lot lighting, and applications in which cost is a
primary design issue. The Pico controllers were designed with
ease-of-use in mind. All programming and data adjustments can be
done via the on-board keypad and display, or with Allen-Bradley
PicoSoft and PicoSoft Pro configuration software.
Pico Components
The basic Pico components include Pico controllers and Pico
expansion I/O modules. The Pico expansion I/O modules can be
used with Pico EX and Pico GFX-70 controllers to increase your I/O
capacity.
You can add one Pico expansion I/O module for each controller in
your system. Mixing I/O types is also possible by combining an AC
controller with a DC expansion module.
