The Fastest PLC in its Class at a Fraction of the Cost
The Fastest Processing Speed
MicroSmart Pentra is the fastest micro controller available in its class. The
overall processing speed of the new Logic Engine CPU is 16 times faster
than our competitor’s average controller for simple instruction execution,
and more than 14 times faster when executing advanced instruction sets.
Don’t wait for your old PLC to catch up to today's demands. Get faster scan
times and better throughput today.
NEW 12VDC Versions
Demand for 12VDC control voltage has grown as solar and vehicle applications gain popularity and require PLCs to match their power sources. With abundant features and unparallel performance, the new 12VDC MicroSmart Pentra is the perfect choice for solar applications, including traffic signs, light controls, road sign controls, remote pumping and injections systems for oil & gas industries, remote water pumping stations and solar tracking systems. For vehicle applications, 12VDC MicroSmart Pentra can be utilized in utilities vehicle such as cement mixer, lift controls for handicap, lighting and designation
