IO-LC1, IO-LC3
The IO-LC1 and IO-LC3 are I/O
Expansion Modules that can be used in
conjunction with specific Unitronics OPLC
controllers.
IO-LC1 offers 1 Loadcell input; IO-LC3
module offers 3 Loadcell inputs. Both
modules offer 1 PNP (source) input and 2
short-circuit protected PNP (source)
outputs with optional setpoint action that is
defined via software settings.
The interface between the module and the
OPLC is provided by an adapter.
The module may either be snap-mounted
on a DIN rail, or screw-mounted onto a
mounting plate.

  • Page 4: Connecting Expansion Modules

    Input or output cables should not be run through the same multi-core cable or share the same wire. Allow for voltage drop and noise interference with input lines used over an extended distance. Use wire that is properly sized for the load. Unitronics Industrial Automation...

  • Page 10: Effective Resolution

    The number of Loadcell inputs used per expansion module affects the sampling rate for each of them, resulting in lower filter depth and effective resolution. The filter settling time can be programmed separately for each Loadcell input without affecting the other(s). Unitronics Industrial Automation...
