Entertron Introduces Programmable Vehicle Restraint Controller
Gasport, NY - June 5, 2003 -- Entertron Industries Inc., the innovation leader in programmable logic controller solutions has introduced a programmable vehicle restraint controller.
Known as the VRC-G2, the controller was based on the Smart-PAK micro ePLC and incorporates 2 15 amp relays to control the operations of the vehicle restraint actuator.
The VRC-G2 was thoroughly tested. A total of 40,000 continuous one minute cycles were performed on the controller without failure. That is the equivalent of 16 years of flawless operation (10 operations per day). During testing, a total of two actuators and two gas shocks wore out.
The VRC-G2 is set for 24 VAC operations, using a 120 VAC or 240 VAC stepdown transformer to 24 VAC. All inputs and outputs are board powered. A total of 6 inputs and 6 outputs are incorporated into the design.
The VRC-G2 is programmable using Entertron's Eware32 ladder logic programming software. Utilizing the Smart-PAK operating system, available are 24 T/C registers (Timer / Counter) and 149 internal relays for logic.
This controller can be programmed for vehicle restraint systems in the following configurations:
2 Light
2 Light with audible alarm
3 Light
Entertron's programming software makes it possible to modify the program. The program is stored on an EPROM. No customer or competitor will be able to access your program. A simple modification can be done in software, burned on an EPROM and sent to the customer for installation.
Entertron is providing a 3 year warranty on the VRC-G2. Other manufacturer warranties are typically one year. The controller has been certified as a UL / ULc recognized component under standard 508
