The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is an industrial computer control system that will monitor the current state of input devices and make important decisions based upon a custom-tailored program to fully control the state of output devices. Practically every production line, machine function, or process can be improved vastly by using this control system. But, the largest benefit of using a PLC is the ability to change and replicate the operation or process while continuing to collect and communicate vitally important information. The PLC-K204 series provides special I/O functions, a Micro USB (USB 2.0) programming port, 4 high-speed counters, 3 high-speed pulse outputs, two RS485 communication ports, one Ethernet port, integrated digital input and output channels, and more. The high speed counters come in 10 different operation modes, support a single-phase frequency up to 200 KHz, and a dual-phase (A/B phase) frequency up to 200 KHz. In the 10 different modes, each counter has its own inputs for clock, direction control, start and reset, and has a 32-bit preset value. The built-in high-speed pulse outputs can reach a maximum frequency of 200 KHz, and support PWM. The free KincoBuilder software provides absolute and relative positioning, homing, jogging, and quick stop instructions. The PLC-K204 series is an ideal solution for monitoring inputs and triggering outputs based on the pre-programmed parameters for industrial automation systems.

Note: To connect the K204ET-16DT PLC with the HMI an AAUSB-ABMICRO-6 Cable is required.
