E10 PLCs | PLC as I/O Boards
All OEM equipment manufacturers know it - the dilemma of not being able to find a powerful yet low cost PLC that doesn’t break the bank. Let’s face it - the traditional "brick" type PLCs are way too expensive and clumsy for controlling OEM type machines. Yet the alternatives, the so called "microprocessor boards" or "single-board computers" require profound hardware knowledge as well as the use C or assembly language which may not be within in-house expertise.
To address these unique OEM needs, TRi has developed a range of single board "Embedded PLCs" since 1993. These PLCs are amazingly powerful, low cost and yet programmable using industry-standard Ladder Logic and BASIC language. Many OEMs have since discovered that not only do they save a bundle in control costs using our PLCs, they also gain a far more powerful control system that is versatile and customizable. Our users also discover an added bonus - the Super PLCs are the world’s first PLCs that are programmable over the Internet using a web browser!

Our Super PLCs have been featured in the March and April 2002 issues of the Circuit Cellar Ink by the magazine’s own columnist Fred Eady. Fred is well known for his expertise in embedded control systems with Internet capabilities. Read what Fred has to say in his two-part review of the T100MD888+ and T100MD1616+ Super PLCs.
