Telemecanique Twido machine controllers: try before you buy
Schneider Electric has an exciting offer for engineers wishing to evaluate new machine controls, but who are reluctant to risk the time and cost involved with doing so. The company has developed special evaluation kits for its Telemecanique Twido machine controllers and engineers can have a kit - including everything needed - on loan for up to a month to try it out in any number of applications before they buy.
For more demanding applications where a human machine interface (HMI) is required, a separate loan kit can also be supplied.
The Twido programmable controller provides flexibility for the control of simple machines and automation systems. Designed to be user-friendly and versatile, Twido controllers still deliver very powerful control functions and a small footprint. Advanced functions - such as analogue inputs and outputs, fast counting, and multiple communication ports - provide smart options.
Twido controllers come with a choice of integrated display, expansion modules, controllers, memory cartridge, real-time clock and communication options such as Ethernet. They are suitable for applications with 10–100 I/O.
Flexible cabling choices, such as removable screw terminal blocks, pre-wired connectors and spring-type connections, allow quick, easy wiring with increased reliability. At the same time, easy-to-use Windows-based programming software further reduces installation time.
Engineers simply have to contact Schneider Electric in the UK on 0870 608 8 608 to arrange for a loan kit. A programming cable is included free of charge on receipt of the first order.
