Grace Engineered Products announces two new Convenience interfaces for Allen-Bradley ControlNet (AB 1203-CN1) and Enhanced DeviceNet (AB 1203-GU6)

AutomationDirect's GS AC drives were designed with simplicity and robustness in mind. We worked hard to make these drives the easiest to use in the industry. The GS series was specifically designed to be able to handle the higher range of American voltages.

The DirectLOGIC 06 (DL06) programmable logic controller (PLC) is our first micro PLC to combine its fixed I/O of 20 inputs and 16 outputs with four option card slots for expansion (discrete, analog, communication modules), all in the same package. With the DL06 micro PLC, you can use the same PLC panel layout for all applications from 36 to 100 I/O.

The WinPLC is a revolutionary product that brings the best of the PC controls and the PLC world to a common platform.

AutomationDirect offers a full line of operator consoles and consolets designed to house electrical and electronic controls, instruments, push-buttons, pilot light and operator interface systems.

The DL05 and the DL06 product lines are a family of micro PLCs designed to fit more applications than any other PLC family in their class. Starting with the DL05 at 8 inputs/ 6 outputs, all the way up to the fully expanded 100 I/O DL06 PLC, these PLCs are a standard that can grow with the changing needs of your machine or process control applications.

The DL105 series is a fixed-I/O micro PLC with 10 inputs and eight outputs. Eight configurations are available in combinations of AC, DC, and relay I/O, as well as AC and DC power supplies.

LookoutDirect is a PC-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) software package. It comes from National Instruments(based on their Lookout® object-based automation software). LookoutDirect does everything you need an HMI to do, at half the price charged by most of our competitors.

This product line has the widest variety of I/O modules and configurations of all our PLCs. You can build a control system with local/distributed I/O of up to 3,500 points. Use the built-in PID instruction or specialty modules to perform cost-effective process control. Three CPUs from 6.5 K memory with 1,152 I/O to 30.8 K memory with 3,584 possible I/O, with built-in power supply are offered.

If your application requires the flexibility of a modular control system, a DL205 PLC is the lowest cost, most versatile solution you'll find. In fact, all you need to do is pick out a CPU, plug it in the first slot of the base you choose, and then mix and match various modules into the available slots.

AutomationDirect's Terminator I/O line of field bus termination I/O products, a practical solution for remote I/O, PC-based control and distributed control applications.

Would you like to get real-time PLC information directly into Excel™, Lotus™, Visual Basic™ and many other Windows® application programs that you use every day...faster than you ever imagined?

DINnectors are simply DIN rail-mounted connectors or terminal blocks. They provide a means of connecting and identifying two or more wires within the demands of an industrial environment. DINnectors can terminate solid or stranded wires ranging from 18-3/0 AWG, and offer fusing, grounding or disconnecting capability within the terminal block itself.

AutomationDirect offers electromechanical motor control solutions for motors up to 40 horsepower at 480 volts.

AutomationDirect carries Cutler-Hammer E26 Series Stacklights which come in preassembled 2 or 3-light units, or put together a stack of your own with five colors and alarm and strobe modules.

AutomationDirect offer hundreds of different NEMA cabinet enclosures, including junction boxes, wiring troughs, wall mount and free standing...all at AutomationDirect's low prices!
