What do you get when you take a well-established, global PLC manufacturer and combine that with a customer-focused, value-centric online supplier? You get the best of both worlds, otherwise known as the LS Electric XGB PLC from AutomationDirect. The LS Electric controller has many great features including a robust hardware selection, advanced FREE IEC-based programming software, and many high-level motion-specific capabilities. Add to that the customer satisfaction, the amazing $279.00 starting-at price, and the FREE tech support provided by AutomationDirect, and you have a "win-win" control solution!  

  • Super-compact design
  • Seven stackable, micro-PLC processors with up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs, I/O types dependent on model
  • Specific inputs can be configured as (up to) 4 high-speed counter inputs and 4 preset inputs
  • 2-axis and 6-axis versions (using specific outputs, depending on model)
  • NPN, PNP and Relay output versions
  • Ethernet, serial, and USB ports
  • Supports up to 7 expansion modules including high-speed counter, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP modules
  • EtherCAT expansion modules provide superior motion control precision on up to 16 axes
  • Up to 16 PID loops for reliable process control

The XG5000 programming software is an advanced tool for configuring and programming the LS PLCs. This highly developed software has been fine-tuned over the years to provide a wealth of features and capabilities, including over 700 function blocks with over 70 motion control specific blocks, a convenient project simulator, and numerous data types including IEC standard data types (64 bit available) and 3 dimensional arrays.

Need a dedicated Motion Controller?

The LS Electric XMC motion controller builds further on the XGB family of hardware. These brick-style controllers have a full complement of built-in I/O, including 2 encoder inputs to enable full-closed-loop control. With 4 CPU models, XMC also offers built-in control of 8 or 16 axes of EtherCAT motion and allows control of up to 32 EtherCAT I/O racks (using the XEL-BSSCT bus coupler and XGB I/O modules). And the XMC uses the same XG5000 programming software to leverage your intellectual investment.

PLCs

XGB PLCs with embedded I/O can act as standalone controllers or can be expanded with multiple I/O expansion modules. The powerful CPU offers up to 6 axes of motion control (depending on model) using up to 32 built-in I/O points with high-speed capability, and robust communications support.

  • Control up to 6 axes of pulse train motion with built-in high-speed outputs
  • Add EtherCAT option modules (4 or 8 axes each) for up to 16 axes of EtherCAT motion
  • Add up to 256 discrete I/O or 56 analog channels with local I/O modules
  • Expand I/O even further with a bus coupler and XGB remote I/O

Motion Controllers

New!


XMC brick style motion controllers with embedded I/O can function as standalone units, providing built-in EtherCAT Master and a generous selection of discrete and analog I/O onboard. These powerful controllers can control up to 8 or 16 axes of EtherCAT motion (depending on model) AND up to 32 EtherCAT remote I/O racks when paired with the XEL-BSSCT bus coupler. They even include two encoder input channels to enable full-closed-loop control.

  • Built-in control of 8 or 16 axes of EtherCAT motion (depending on model)
  • 24 discrete I/O, 4 analog channels, and 2 encoder inputs built in to controller
  • Expand I/O even further with an EtherCAT bus coupler and XGB remote I/O

Bus Couplers

Newest Additions!

  • XEL-BSSCT EtherCAT bus coupler

XGB bus couplers are ideal for systems where components are separated by large distances or where an extreme amount of I/O is needed. With these couplers, remote I/O can be located separately from the CPU and linked through EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP or EtherCAT communication (supported protocols dependent on model chosen).
