With two inputs and four outputs, the Allen-Bradley SMC Flex motor controller with integrated I/O is designed to help users control processes and monitor motor systems from the networked soft-starter, moving control of some industrial processes closer to the motor.
This lowers costs associated with wiring and programming, says the vendor. The motor controller was developed for a range of motor control applications, including conveyers, pumps and chillers. The controller’s two inputs help improve process monitoring and provide greater access to diagnostic information to reduce maintenance costs and downtime. The four output devices enable users to extend control capabilities to other processes, reducing the burden and potential expense of a separate programmable controller. The SMC Flex also features an internal bypass contactor, resulting in less heat and a smaller footprint than previous motor controllers.
