The PR200 mini PLC from akYtec can display values of BOOL, INT or REAL variables, as well as constant text on its LCD screen, which cannot be said of STRING variables. The data type STRING is not supported by akYtec ALP programming environment. What should be undertaken if there is some variable text to be displayed?Read More

Before the release of the PRM Extension Module, our Programmable Relay PR200 had been a fixed mini PLC with the total number of 22 inputs and outputs. It is good to have a compact device but the performance and flexibility also often matter. Modularity is the key to meeting the growing requirements of your control system. With the PRM Extension Modules, the PR200 is not a fixed mini PLC. Now it is a modular expandable device that can have up to 54 I/O-points.Read More

The ITP14 is a universally-applicable process display for monitoring and control of industrial processes. It has an analog input for voltage signals (0–10 V) or current signals (4–20 mA and others). It also has an NPN transistor output to control a load up to 42 V DC / 200 mA and to implement ON/OFF control. The potential groups (analog input, output, power supply) have galvanic isolation from each other.
The following video introduces:
- - Scope of delivery
- - Experimental setup with wire connection
- - Functions and Configuration
- - Simple operation and sample display of a temperature
- - Configuration of the alarm and activation of NPN transistor output
- - Settings of “safe output state”

There are implemented 3 log-channels in this project, using analog inputs/outputs and the RS485 interface of the MSD200 Data Logger. It means that you can find here some cases in point for configuring log-channels, Modbus settings, monitoring the real-time values. At the end of this part, we are showing you how to export an Excel or a CSV file with the built-in File ManagerRead More

Based on many requests, we have developed and released two new process indicators: ITP14 and ITP16.
The ITP14 is a universally-applicable process display with a voltage/current input, which can be set either for 0-10 V or 4-20 mA.
The ITP16 is temperature display, which supports many RTDs and a lot of different types of thermocouples.

All PLCs and mini-PLCs are very similar in terms of function, hardware, operation, design, etc., which makes them pretty interchangeable and universal devices. The most distinguishing aspect of such devices is programming software. That is why the user has to immerse themselves in learning the programming environment to program the device at hand. Sometimes, it is quite a time-consuming effort. To save your time, we decided to provide you with various sample projects on programming our programmable relay PR200. Our ultimate objective is to create as many such projects as needed to cover the whole functionality of programming environment akYtec ALP.

The RS485 interface has gained quite a common application in Fieldbus networks. This is a high-speed and interference-resistant serial interface which makes it possible to create networks connecting many devices into a common bus.
