The Delta compact modular mid-range AS series PLCs, available locally from ElectroMechanica (EM), is a high-performance, multi-purpose controller designed for all kinds of automated equipment. The series features Delta’s self-developed 32-bit SoC (system on chip) CPUs for enhanced execution speed (up to 40 000 steps/ms), and also supports up to 32 extension modules, or up to 1024 I/O points. The series provides accurate positioning control for up to 8 axes via CANopen motion network and a maximum of six axes via pulse control (200 kHz).
“The Delta AS series of PLCs is widely used in diverse automated equipment such as electronics manufacturing, labelling, food packaging and textile machines,” highlights EM product manager, William Cameron.
Other features include a robust non-backplane design and patented DIN-rail clips for vertical module installation and replacement, as well as ISPSoft editing software for programming, hardware configuration, network communication, system diagnostics and positioning planning.
The Delta compact modular mid-range AS series of PLCs is available from EM’s extensive distribution network and branches nationwide. The full range of industrial automation products from Delta Automation has been represented in Southern Africa by EM for over 15 years.

PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Data acquisition, data logging and data analysis are required functions for most modern industrial control systems. The simplest and lowest cost way to provide these functions is often by using the same platform that’s providing real-time control, namely the PLC or the programmable automation controller.
