SK1600-RICS

The SK1600-RIC offers a minimum of 8 - 8 amp outputs
The SK1600-RIC is the successor to Entertron's SK1600-R programmable logic controller, first introduced in 1985. This product has been continually improved during its 15+ year history. A wide variety of applications, from Radio Frequency Remote controls to Dock Levelers, confirm that the versatility and performance are unquestionable. No small or micro PLCs from our competitors use a Form C relay or offer the current driving capabilities that the SK1600-RIC does.

The form C relay allows you the capability of controlling two devices with one output. For example, you have two status lights. One would be off when the other is on, and visa versa. Both lights can be wired to the one output. One light would be wired to the normally opened contact, the other to the normally closed contact. Thus allowing you to reduce your number of outputs. Most other PLCs provide a form A relay only, thus, you would have to use two outputs to control both status lights. Imagine not having to waste valuable I/O.

The majority of our competitors offer relay output ratings of approximately 2 amps / output. With that limited load, you may have to interface additional relays to handle your current load requirements. Imagine, not needing to do that. The SK1600-RIC offers a minimum of 8 - 8 amp outputs.

This controller is the perfect bridge between the micros and rack systems. From a price / performance point of view, the SK1600-RIC offers more power than today's micros and is far less expensive than going to a rack system. This controller can be configured up to 32 inputs / 24 outputs and 4 analog I/O.

We are so confident about the performance of the SK1600-RIC, that we have extended our warranty from 1 year to 3 years. No other PLC manufacturer offers a warranty greater than 1 year.

The latest improvements to this controller include:

  • AC inputs (24 or 120)
  • Option for a second serial port (RS232 or RS 485)
  • Greater noise immunity for superior performance.
