The Eaton Logic Controller (ELC) is Eaton
Cutler-Hammer’s latest offering into the
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
market. Using the latest technology this
reduced-sized ELC, with its abundant
module selection provides a "just right"
concept, for delivering only what you want
for the price you desire.
The Right Amount of I/O
Why pay for functionality you’ll never need?
Why be trapped with functionality that you
can’t scale to meet changing needs? Eaton is
changing everything with the ELC. At less
than half the size of most PLCs, the Cutler-
Hammer ELC is an ideal solution when space
is at a premium and specialized I/O needs
present themselves.
ELC’s Value Added Differences
4 Controller Styles:
- Basic—14 I/O (8I/6O) Over
130 instructions provide all the
power you need; 2 serial ports for
master/slave communcations
- Clock/Calendar—Same features as the
basic model plus clock/calendar, remote
I/O and retentive data storage
- Analog—Same features as clock/calendar
plus analog in and out
- High Speed—All the features of clock/
calendar with the ability to capture or
output 100 Khz pulses
A Wealth of Features
The ELC family offers four styles of
controllers. These controllers offer
combinations of the following features:
- High speed pulse capture and high speed
pulse output on all controllers
- Interrupts
- Large module selection AC/DC in,
relay/transistor out
- Large analog selection of analog in, out,
combined, thermocouple, RTD platinum
- Over 200 instructions to choose from:
Floating point math, communications, hex,
decimal, octal, BCD, ASCII conversion,
1, 4, 8, 16, 32, bit manipulations, logical,
block move, block compare, retentive data
storage, time base from clock/calendar
- 2 Modbus (ASCII or RTU) serial ports:
1 slave only, 1 master/slave
- ELC controller can be wired for remote I/O
communications (except the PB model)
Space Saving, Cost Saving
This space-saving design perfectly fits at
home in small machine control stations
as well as other enclosed applications
where space is critical.
While the ELC is perfectly suited for
applications with 40 I/O and less, it can also
be expanded to 256 I/O. That means there’s
no need to change to a different controller as
I/O needs expand. Furthermore, the ELC’s
2 communication ports can provide any
networking task. In remote mode, the
ELC exchanges and shares information
with up to 16 other devices, in normal
mode, the ELC can communicate with
up to 32 other devices. Its small size
allows for reduced panel size, and saves
valuable machine space.
Capability
The ELC provides the instruction set of a
large PLC in a small package. It is capable of
1-, 4-, 8-, 16- and 32-bit instructions, block
compare, block move, communications,
interrupts, clock/calendar and logic, over
240 instructions in all.
No Racks Required
A DIN rail lets you add as many modules as
desired. Just snap on, and slide into place.
All connections are done automatically.
Large PLC Features
Multiple communication ports, remote I/O
ability, data storage, high speed counters,
high speed pulse outputs, interrupts, timer
resolution to 1 ms, PIDs, plus much more.
Easy Connectivity to Drives and I/O
ELC communicates easily to MVX drives,
eliminating the need to operate drives by
analog voltage/current or digital I/O. ELC can
access all of the parameters in the MVX by
serial communications, saving OEM money.
ELC communicates to I/O through the
Modbus TCP gateway. This permits ELC to
control the I/O if local control is desired.
Allowing I/O to be used in communicating
MCC applications where the ELC can be
either a DeviceNet™, Profibus, or
ModbusTCP communicating MCC. ELC
communicates to PowerNet Modbus
products, allowing ELC connectivity to
Switchgear and PowerNet applications.
Remote Communication
All ELC analog type modules are capable
of stand-alone operation. Mounted remotely, the ELC communicates to the analog module
through its communications port. The
ELC also lets you read parameters, set
parameters, use scale, offset, and
average values.
Software
ELCSoft programs in standard ladder or
sequential function chart programming.
ELC Modules
ELC Expansion Modules
ELC expansion modules provide the correct
amount of I/O for application solutions.
Choose 4, 8, or 16 number of expansion
modules added to the ELC processor
256 I/O (128 Inputs and 128 maximum).
ELC Specialty Modules
In addition to the expansion specialty
modules like analog in, out, Platinum
temperature, thermocouple, DeviceNet,
PROFIBUS switch module; can be added.
The ELC-485APTR easily connects the
RS485 port of MVX drive, controllers and
other devices.
GRAPHIC PANELS
ELC Graphic Panels are simple to program and easily connect
to ELC products. ELC graphic panels make modifying an
application quick and easy. ELC graphic panels also connect to
Cutler-Hammer® MVX drives, IQMODBUS meters and many
other devices. With over 30 objects that can be placed
anywhere on the display, these tough panels also communicate
with other major controllers. These graphic panels have two
serial ports which can be used simultaneously to
communicate. Transfer applications to or from these graphic
panels using the handy transfer module (ELC-GPXFERMOD).
Ten programmable functions keys provide easy to change
pages, input numeric values, enter alpha-numeric passwords,
set, reset and more. Create alarms, password protect, import
bitmaps, and use many different fonts. | ELC SOFTWARE- Display registers "in use" and modules attached to
the ELC
- Monitor runtime applications; force (except basic),
and enter/modify register values
- Wizards aid programming of remote I/O, standard
communications, high speed counters, pulse
outputs, ELC Link, positioning, interrupts, PIDs, and
extension module setup

Please note: All of the PLCs require the ELCSOFT software.
