Logic modules
Withstand vibrations up to 5 g
With the 'WCU' series, Weidmüller offers highly integrated, programmable logic modules that enable decentralized automation in applications with high environmental requirements and limited space.
Each logic module can withstand vibrations of up to 5 g and shocks of up to 10 g. The operating temperature range is between -40 and +70 °C. Both logic modules WCU 501 and WCU 650 have several integrated analog and digital I/Os, several power outputs and a PWM output. The fully encapsulated logic modules monitor, control and regulate processes even under extreme environmental conditions. Graphical programming allows flexible switching of the analog and digital inputs as well as the power outputs. All logic modules have predefined function blocks - the module library includes basic arithmetic operations through to timers. The WCU 650 communicates via CAN bus interface (CAN 2.0 A/B) with other bus devices or higher-level controllers. For programming, the logic modules are connected to a standard PC via USB cable. Users operate the graphic-based software intuitively.
