Sunnyvale - IDEC Corporation, worldwide manufacturer of control
automation devices and programmable logic controllers announces an addition to the IDEC SmartRelay series. Now there are expansion I/O units available to enhance this universal logic module and create an even more customized control and monitoring solution.

More advanced than a time delay relay, but easier to use than a Micro PLC, the IDEC SmartRelay series fills the need for a small, flexible control and monitoring device. It is the ideal solution for managing automatic lighting, access control, watering systems, pump control, or ventilation systems. Each base CPU module has 12 built-in I/O points (digital/analog inputs, 6 digital, plus 2 analog or digital; 4 digital outputs)
and a real-time clock and calendar.

IDEC SmartRelay integrates programming and display functions into the control unit with an on-board display (LCD) and keypad. Enter and modify programs, or monitor status information, with no need for additional hardware. Use the optional plug-in memory cartridges to save programs or transfer them between CPU modules.

There are four available expansion modules, which will work with any FLIB series SmartRelay CPU. Three are combination I/O modules with 4 input and 4 output points: 12/24V DC with DC input and relay output, 24V DC with DC input and transistor output, and 100-240V AC/DC with AC/DC input with relay output. There is also a 2-input 24V DC analog module available. A maximum of 16 extra inputs and 12 extra digital outputs can be added to the CPU, as well as 8 analog inputs; the maximum number of expansion modules is four combination modules and four analog modules.

IDEC also offers an updated version of WindLGC, an easy-to-use,
Windows-based software package that creates and simulates programs for the IDEC SmartRelay series with drag and drop simplicity.

With the IDEC SmartRelay series, IDEC offers you more for less. To find out what a smart choice IDEC SmartRelay is, call IDEC today.
