- 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).
DC I/O
XGB discrete DC I/O modules monitor ON/OFF signals or
control devices that switch DC power (12 or 12-24 VDC), such as discrete
sensors, solenoid valves, or lights. High-density input and output modules with
up to 32 points and a combination input/output module are available.
AC I/O
The XGB AC I/O module monitors ON/OFF devices that
operate with AC power (120 VAC), such as sensors, pilot devices, and motor
contactors.
Relay Output
XGB relay modules can operate DC or AC rated
devices (125 VDC / 250 VAC). Modules are available with up to 16 Form A
(normally open) relay contacts.
Analog I/O
XGB analog I/O modules monitor or supply the
signals needed for precise control of a process, such as level or pressure, in
ranges including 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, and 0-10 VDC. Current/voltage input, current
output, voltage output, and a combination input/output model are available.
Communications & Networking
XGB PLCs have several built-in communication ports;
optional expansion modules can provide additional protocols including
EtherNet/IP.
Motion & Specialty Modules
XGB motion and specialty modules perform advanced functions that are out of the realm of standard I/O.
High-speed counter input expansion modules offer additional high-speed capability with up to 500 kHz switching frequency
EtherCAT positioning modules provide extremely accurate motion control using Ethernet transmission media
Wiring Solutions
Connections for the 32-point expansion modules and
32-point PLC units are made using specially designed Smart Link terminal blocks
and connection cables. These cables and connectors provide readily accessible
terminals for field I/O signals, organized wireways, and easily traceable I/O
connections.
LS Electric PLC Accessories
Accessories for the LS Electric PLCs and motion controllers include a variety of
replacement terminal blocks. XG5000 software features many of the IEC
programming languages along with motion axis and servo drive setup/testing
applications. Software can be downloaded for free or purchased on a
USB drive.
