I have a 24V DC input on a servo that I need to energize and de-energize about every half second. Which PLC is suitable for this application?
Hi Finnian, we recommend the ATO-TIMER-16PLC programmable timer relay. Choosing a PLC with relay output allows you to achieve the function of powering on and off every half second. Here is the spec link:
https://www.ato.com/programmable-timer-relay-8-inputThis timer relay PLC will work fine for this. Just make sure the relay output can handle the switching frequency and the current your servo input draws. The ATO-TIMER-16PLC is fast enough and has built-in timing functions, so you don’t need ladder logic unless you want extra control.
