General Specifications of the Programmable Controller

Robustness

Each module is integrated into an aluminum sheath that simultaneously provides:

Immunity to electromagnetic interference
High mechanical resistance
IP30 protection
Efficient heat dissipation

Versatility

The LT can be installed in a cabinet or enclosure.
The length of the bases can be defined as needed, ranging from 4 to 30 modules.
The inputs/outputs can be wired with screw terminals/spring clamps (industrial version) or with SubD connectors (military version).
The LT is mounted on a DIN rail, on a grid, or on the cabinet frame using brackets.

4-state logical inputs with wiring control.

Wired-Control Logical Inputs are designed for monitoring sensitive sites and intrusion detection of critical installations.

Wired-control inputs allow detection of the 4 states of a line between the sensor and the controller input:

Normally Open sensor, Normally Closed sensor, short-circuited line, or cut line.
The detection resistors installed near the sensor can be chosen between 1 kOhm and 10 kOhm.
The controller provides 1 status bit and 1 fault bit to code the 4 states.
The distance between the sensor and the controller input can reach up to 200 meters.

Relay logic outputs.

Free potential contacts.
Breaking capacity: 6A
More than 30 million operations
ON/OFF visualization via “orange” LED

Version for harsh environments.

Climatic and electromagnetic endurance.

Extended operating temperature: -40°C to +70°C
The boards are tropicalized.
Enhanced electromagnetic endurance to comply with the AECTP500 standard.

Mechanical endurance

The input/output connectors are screw-type SubD connectors.
The Ethernet RJ45 connectors are equipped with anti-vibration covers.
The mounting attachments are reinforced.

Software services to contribute to cybersecurity
