PALATINE, Ill. – April 16, 2004 – Schneider Electric has released the Telemecanique® Zelio® logic relay – an innovative, cost-effective smart relay with advanced programmable relay functionality for small control system applications. Zelio Logic is designed especially for applications that require greater flexibility than a simple relay, but are too small or simple to require the use of even the smallest nano PLC. The Zelio relay’s small size and ease of programming provides a competitive alternative to traditional relays, timers and counters. Modbus® communications capability makes it easy to integrate into automation systems and a modem enables remote control of applications.
Able to accept and control outputs just like a relay, the logic on the Zelio relay is simple to set up by either programming the front of the module or by utilizing ZelioSoft software. It also features dual language capability, using either Function Block Diagram or Ladder Logic programming. When compared to hard-wired logic solutions, Zelio can save up to 70 percent in wiring and installation costs and time. Mounting is simplified with either din rail or panel-mounting. Zelio logic relays are available with four or eight outputs and accept a wide range of input voltages.
AC versions are available with input voltages of 120 or 240 Vac, and DC versions are available with input voltages of 24 Vdc. For more information on Telemecanique® automation and control products from Schneider Electric, visit www.us.telemecanique.com or call 1-800-392-8781.
