Velocio’s Embedded PLCs (eBranch Series)

The eBranch 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.

The eBranch is the embedded version of the Branch PLC. It is designed to plug into a motherboard - either a Velocio Simulator, or your custom design. By designing the eBranch into your custom hardware, you can take advantage of all of Branch’s core IO and advanced software features, while adding custom interface circuitry and connections.

The eBranch 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 eBranch communicate autonomously with Branch Expansion PLCs for either expanded IO, or distributed operation. In a large, distributed processing system, the eBranch is the main, supervisory controller in the system. Through a tree structure, one eBranch 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.
Ace PLCs interface a variety of inputs and outputs. Certain models have additional communications ports for interfacing HMIs, cellular modems, other PLCs and other devices.

eBranch 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.

eBranch 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, it 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.

High end capabilities are packed into a PLC that fits easily on your motherboard. With your custom circuitry and connections, you have an advanced system or product quickly and at low cost.
