Schneider Electric has announced an offer for engineers wishing to evaluate new machine controls, but who are reluctant to risk the time and cost in doing so. The company has developed special evaluation kits for its Twido machine controllers from Telemecanique, a brand of Schneider Electric. Engineers can take a kit - including everything needed - on loan for up to a month, to try it out in any number of applications before they buy.
For those more demanding applications where a human machine interface (HMI) is required, a separate loan kit can also be supplied.
The Twido programmable controller provides a flexible automation offering for the control of simple machines and building automation systems. Designed to be user-friendly and flexible, Twido still delivers very powerful control functions and a small footprint for when panel space is at a premium. Advanced functions, such as analogue inputs and outputs, fast counting, multiple communication ports, provide smart options.
Twido comes with a choice of integrated display, expansion modules, controllers, memory cartridge, real time clock and communication options such as Ethernet. It is suitable for applications between 10 - 100 I/O points.
Flexible cabling choices, such as removable screw terminal blocks, pre-wired connectors and spring-type connections, allow quick, easy wiring with increased reliability. At the same time, easy-to-use Windows-based programming software further reduces installation time.
Engineers may contact Schneider Electric on 0870 608 8608 to arrange for a loan kit.
