Altech Corporation, a key player in industrial automation, delivers a comprehensive range of smart relays and timers.

These devices are available in both AC and DC base versions, providing system designers with the advantages of easy installation and integration, along with a modular design. This offers quick scalability in a compact format, ideally suited for real-time monitoring and controlling of small to mid-size systems.

Real-time monitoring

The smart relays from Altech are designed for immediate use. Their compact dimensions of 72 x 90 x 65 millimetres allow them to be easily attached to a DIN rail, facilitating swift and straightforward installation. Utilizing Altech’s free configuration software, users can create programs and conduct project simulations without needing prior programming expertise. The incorporation of a communication module enables support for the widely adopted Modbus communication protocol, ensuring high-speed monitoring and compatibility with various manufacturers' devices.

These relays come equipped with eight inputs and four outputs, with the ability to expand to three additional modules, achieving a total of 48 inputs and outputs (32 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs). This adaptability allows users to tailor the input/output configuration to meet their specific application requirements and to efficiently scale systems in response to changing needs.

Wide range of devices

Among the additional features of Altech's smart relays are the capability for 250 lines of ladder programming and extensive programmable functionalities. These include 16 timers, 16 counters, 16 time switches, 16 compare counters, 16 soft text messages, 64 auxiliary relays, and 12 analogue comparators. A backlit LCD screen enhances visibility for functional blocks, input/output status, and programming, while a daylight saving time (DST) feature is also available.

In addition to the smart relay offerings, Altech provides a universal multi-timer featuring two or ten timing functions and a timing range spanning from 0.1 seconds to 100 hours. The multi-timer also includes an LED indicator for power and relay status, is compatible with DIN rail mounting, and measures 17.5 millimetres in width.
