NEW!  |  Interfacing CNC machines and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

Techna’s TTEC Series provides a range of DIN-rail terminals and interface modules in a vast choice of styles and configurations.

The new interface modules series IMRE1SS16/CNC, from Techna, ensures easy wiring in CNC machines by providing connection possibilities for both the input and output side of a PLC, in a single module.

This series is compatible with PLCs from Fanuc, GE, Mitsubishi, Schneider and Siemens.

This DIN-rail mounted series provides 24 inputs and 16 outputs with contact rating of 10A / 250VAC, standard coil voltage of 24VDC and relay coil status indicated by a red LED. Various relays can be supplied together with other coil voltages, on request.

NEW!  |  Interface module for Allen Bradley SLC 500 PLCs

This new module simplifies wiring by accommodating up to 32 channel signals through a flat-ribbon-cable connector and is supplied in two parts, as a main module (IMRE1SS16/SLC) and an extension module (IMRE1SS/E/SLC), with a 20-core connection cable.

The module is best suited for interfacing Allen Bradley SLC 500 PLCs.

TTEC Interface Modules

Techna's TTEC terminal range has been further developed to provide a new range of DIN-rail / surface-mount Interface Modules which facilitate the interaction between controlling devices and actuators/sensors.

Available in the form of simple discrete I/O to grouped I/O or complex switching of loads at variable voltages, the range provides numerous configurations the simplest of which is as a carrier for discrete components such as resistors, diodes, capacitors etc., in a choice of 4,8,12,16,20 and 24 channels/poles.

D-SUB modules utilising IMDSUBM and IMDSUBF male and female connectors are available in all standard pin configurations from 9 to 50 and allow the possibility of providing indication and mounting of other components using the IMDSUBMH series.

Relay modules can be Non-Bussed, with each relay being provided a pair of inputs, positive and negative for DC or Phase and Neutral for AC. Positive Bussed modules have the positive terminals of all relays bussed (shorted together) allowing the user to operate the relays with only the negative input as the positive input for all relays is common.

Negative Bussed Relay modules allow the user to operate the relays with only the positive input, as the negative is common.

Other relay modules can include variable voltage inputs for actuation of individual relays as required, modules for multiple input voltages, modules with fuses for protection from excessive currents, and relay modules for CNC machines using specific controllers such as the Sinumerik 802D.

Relay modules also include added value by providing LED indication of relay actuation, protection of relay coils by connection of a diode, relays can be mounted on sockets for ease of movement or replacement and the modular concept also allows availability of any number of channels (relays).

For overload, short-circuit protection, surge and over-voltage protection, fuse and varistor modules are available. Metal oxide varistors provide protection for components such as solenoids and contactors.

Insulation Displacement Connectors / Flat Ribbon Cable modules and many other options are available and can be provided as cut-to-length, fully customised items or as individual components for customer assembly of their own designs.

Modules utilise the TTEC range of static Terminal Blocks for simple wire to PCB, in pitches of 5mm(orange), 5.08mm(green), and 7.5mm(black) for maximum stranded wire size up to 2.5sq.mm. with 5.08mm terminals being available in single, double or triple levels and 2/3-way combinations, stackable, to allow for any number of connections.

Alternatively, TTEC Pluggable Terminals facilitating easy connection/disconnection of screw-clamp-wired female blocks which plug-into / unplug-from male blocks soldered to the PCB’s.

The use of Internationally approved components is integral to standard modules which are designed to UL and IEC specifications with controlled soldering and post-soldering processes (to eliminate solder oxidation) and 100% post-solder inspection with 100% functionality testing of final assemblies for ageing, accuracy and dependability.

Techna are able to provide cost effective, fully customised, designs to meet virtually any requirement, from the simplest to the most complex interfaces, from inception to finally assembled and tested product.
