Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike traditional PLCs that are really targetted for one-of-a-kind factory automation projects, the T100MD+family of super PLCs are specifically designed for the OEMs!    Equipped with analog, digital, interrupt, stepper driver, frequency measurement, LCD port, etc., and yet cost as low as only US$195 per unit (3-19 units qty), the T100MD+ PLCs  are amazingly powerful, low cost and unbelievably easy to program using the unique Ladder logic + BASIC language.

The newly added F-series PLCs features a built-in Ethernet port, more analog I/O, more PWM, more memory on top of all the power that T100MD+ has to offer and much, much more.

Currently, the F-series and M-series PLC families offer a number of standard models which could serves as self-contained solutions in many applications. Both digital and analog expansion modules are available to cater to applications that requires more I/Os.  You can also connect a keypad, LCD modules, HMI Touch screen to it, read data from a barcode scanner, send data to a printer, to another PLC or computer via modem.Your equipment can be connected via the Internet using a web browser and your equipment can even send Emails reports using real time changing data! 
To address unique OEM needs, we have even incorporated a powerful "View Protection" feature in its programming software to protect OEM's programming effort without limiting the end-user's flexibility in integrating the standard machine to their production.  To learn more, please click on the navigation links to the left or on any picture below.
