Industrial Applications

1. Two-Axis Indexing and Labeling Machinery

Utilizes the twin 100 kHz sourcing transistor pulse outputs to control servo or stepper drives for fast and precise label feeding and product positioning on a conveyor line.

Problem Solved

Avoids the need for an external dedicated motion controller or multi-axis module, drastically reducing control cabinet costs and simplification of small packaging lines.

2. Encoder-Based Bottling Sorting System

Leverages the on-board 100 kHz high-speed counters to read quadrature rotary encoder inputs, allowing precise real-time speed tracking and immediate sorting activation via fast output interrupts.

Problem Solved

Solves synchronization and timing drift issues in high-speed product sorting by handling fast sensor signals independently of the CPU scan time.

3. SCADA-Integrated Factory Process Terminal

Utilizes the high density of 60 built-in I/O points to monitor extensive local process signals on a 100-240 VAC power infrastructure, with expansion capability via a CP1W-CIF41 Ethernet card for FINS/TCP communication.

Problem Solved

Overcomes the isolation of stand-alone, high-density local PLCs by enabling seamless Ethernet telemetry and remote SCADA monitoring without replacing the core CPU.
