Introducing the Logic Micro Controller (LMC) - a next generation count control that addresses high-speed, precision needs with expanded I/O and logic capability. Just right for a wide-range of small the medium applications, the LMC is much more capable and flexiable than traditional count control products, yet less complex than PLC products.

By intergrating multiple discrete control components into one LMC, customers can reduce overall control costs, installation and commisioning time. This is the new standard for high-speed counting, operator interface, message display, logic engine, extended I/O, and communications...all housed in a Type 4X panel mount enclosure.

Machinery OEM's
Designed specifically for the rugged needs of the machinery OEM industry - metalworking, textile, pumps, paper, food products, conveyors, and packaging - the LMC is suited for most industrial enviroments (including wet), and is available in wide-range ac or dc power models.

The LMC is ideal for the following:

  • Cut to Length
  • Volumetric Dispensing
  • Coil Winding
  • Batch Control
  • Slitting Control
  • Metal Forming

    • How Fast? Real Fast.
    The count module is capable of counting at a sustained speed of 6kHz in any one of it's thirteen count modes. Programmable count control functions include:

  • Input pulse scaling
  • Five presets and prewarn
  • Batch control
  • Totalization
  • Rate with alarms
  • 10 parameter sets with predefined recipes

    • Simplicity When it Counts
    When compared to competitor's products, LMC is preferred based on precise and repeatable output response, and programming. Additionall, it features a much more versatile operator interface.

    The LMC was designed for users to customize their displays and user interface to suit unique applications. Easy-to-tailor, status information uses customer terminology and allows select parameters. Both soft and function keys allow quick access to parameters and setpoints.

    The operator interface allows users to scroll through the defined run messages. The expanded front panel has an eighteen-key tactile keypad allowing users to quickly access and change important machine or process parameters. Programming can be preformed via the front panel or with Windows®-based configuration software.

    LMC Features and Benefits
    Features Customer Benefit
    High-speed count functions; including scaling, main counter, five presets, pre warn, totalizer, batch and rate "Canned" count functions offer flexibility and ease of setup in the desired units of measure.
    High-speed counting Precise and repeatable output response for high performance applications
    Flexible display with selectable character sizes (large, medium, small) Minimizes confusion and operator errors as information can be tailored to what they need and in their language. Maintenance/management data can be separated. Different Character sizes allow optimization and information displayed. Machine status information can be displayed allowing operators to take action.
    Simple front panel layout and keypad. Four soft keys & six function keys can be used as inputs Ease of use for operators. Numeric keypad allows for ease of preset and machine parameter entry. Function keys and soft keys allow easy and quick access to information and/or parameters needed by the operator and don't require using additional inputs. Eliminates cost associated with external pushbuttons and inputs.
    Parameter sets Allows for predefined recipes/jobs to be preloaded for the operator. Simplifies operator interaction and minimizes errors.
    Programmable relay logic Well understood programming method that allows flexibility in control functionality. Easy to tailor the control to various applications.
    26 I/O (digital & analog) Provides application flexibility. Analog inputs allow monitoring key process parameters. Analog outputs allow interfacing to drives and other control products.
    Integrated solution Reduced overall control costs, installation and commissioning. More flexible and capable than traditional count/control solutions but less complex than many PLC solutions.
    Windows® and front panel programming Ease of programming and configuration control.
    RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication ports Allow for direct connection to PC for programming, connection to Modbus® networks, interface to serial printer.
    Robust type 4X package, DIN cutout and short depth 2.82 Inches (71.6mm). Suited for wet applications. Same cutout as the President Series®, easing the migration. Short depth minimizes the cost and size of the machine panel or control enclosure.
    Input power: 85 - 265Vac 50/60Hz or 10-30Vdc models Greatly reduces models required for different control voltages.
    Output power: 12Vdc @75mA, 24Vdc @ 100mA Eliminates the need for an external power supply for encoders, analog transducers, etc.
    Depluggable screw terminals Allows for ease of wiring and removal of control. Terminals are different sizes to error-proof installation.
    Non-volatile memory and capacitor backed real time clock Don't have to worry about a battery failing down the road.
    Real time clock Allows for control functions to be performed on day/time and allows for date/time stamping on printouts.
    UL, cUL, and CE marked Ease of meeting machine agency requirements and robust EMC performance.
