Altech Corporation has expanded its range of industrial automation solutions with the introduction of smart relays and timers.

These products, available in both AC and DC base versions, offer system designers the ability to easily install and integrate the devices, featuring a modular design that enables swift scaling. With their compact form, they are particularly suited for real-time monitoring and control in small- to mid-sized systems.

Real-Time Monitoring Capabilities

Designed for immediate deployment, Altech's smart relays boast a compact 72 x 90 x 65-millimeter housing that allows for swift installation on a DIN rail.

Users can leverage Altech’s free configuration software to create programs

Users can leverage Altech’s free configuration software to create programs, project simulations, and documentation without needing prior programming expertise. The relays include a communication module that supports the widely-used Modbus communication protocol, facilitating high-speed, real-time monitoring and ensuring compatibility with a broad array of devices from multiple manufacturers.

Customizable and Scalable Solutions

Featuring eight inputs and four outputs, these smart relays can be expanded with three additional modules, accommodating up to 48 I/Os with 32 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. This flexibility allows users to tailor the I/O setup to their specific requirements and adjust system capacity as needs evolve.

These relays offer a range of programmable features, including:

  • 250 lines of ladder programming.
  • 16 timers, 16 counters, 16 time switches, 16 compare counters, 16 soft text messages, 64 auxiliary relays, and 12 analog comparators.
  • Backlit LCD screen for enhanced visibility of functional blocks, I/O status, and programming.
  • A Daylight Saving Time (DST) feature.

Additionally, Altech provides a universal multi-timer that offers two or 10 timing functions, with a timing range from 0.1 seconds to 100 hours. The multi-timer also includes an LED indicator for power and relay status, compatibility with DIN rail mounting, and a slim 17.5-millimeter width.
