Velocio’s Branch PLCs

The Branch PLC is a member of the Velocio’s groundbreaking series of programmable logic controllers. These PLCs introduce revolutionary new concepts, capabilities, performance and ease of use features to the automation market. They constitute a generational leap over the staid products that have comprised the PLC world for years.

A key feature of the Velocio PLC line is distributed operation. By placing IO and optionally, program intelligence, right at every point of application, historical problems with accuracy, reliability, safety, installation cost, maintenance and others are radically reduced or eliminated.

The Branch PLC is the top of the tree for a distributed system. It contains the main system program and up to 30 points of IO. vLink communications ports on the Branch communicate autonomously with Branch Expansion PLCs for either expanded IO, or distributed operation. In a large, distributed processing system, the Branch is the main, supervisory controller in the system. Through a tree structure, one Branch PLC can act as the main controller for a system of up to 15 PLCs. These PLCs can be distributed in a variety of locations. They can act as expansion IO, or as a system of tightly integrated, distributed processing controllers.

Branch PLCs are programmable, using Velocio’s vBuilder software. They connect to a PC using a standard USB communications cable and to Branch Expansion PLCs through vLink communications cables. Through a single USB communication link to a PC, an entire system of Velocio PLCs can be programmed, debugged and deployed.

Branch PLCs feature integrated local IO. Up to 12 digital inputs, 12 digital outputs and 6 analog inputs are available. In addition to basic input/output capabilities, the Branch can be configured for high speed digital pulse counting for either simple pulse or quadrature inputs. It can also be configured for high speed stepper motion pulse and direction control.

This PLC, which fits in a shirt pocket, is a building block of the most advanced, flexible, easiest to develop and deploy automation technology available anywhere.
