M1020 PROGRAMMABLE LIMIT SWITCH
THE SIMPLE, LOW-COST REPLACEMENT FOR CAM/LIMIT SWITCHES

 


MODULAR, EASY TO SERVICE

Low Maintenance
Unlike an electromechanical limit switch that requires periodic maintenance and often at places that are hard to reach, the M1020-PLS requires no maintenance and has no mechanical cams/contacts to wear out. In addition, the plug-in output relays are easily field replaceable.

Detachable operator interface for Program Security and Cost Savings 
Once the setpoints are programmed using the front-panel-programming interface, you can detach it from the main unit, making the program inaccessible to any unauthorized personnel. While this feature makes the M1020-PLS tamper-proof, it also saves you money by using the same programmer to program various other AVG Automation PLSs in your plant.

Program Enable Input
The M1020-PLS allows another level of security against unauthorized programming changes. In addition to the detachable programmer, you need a contact closure at the back of the M1020 to enable programming.

Rugged, Reliable for Hostile Environments
The M1020-PLS combines the ruggedness of a brushless resolver and the reliability of an advanced solid-state control. The rugged, heavy-duty, NEMA 13 (IP54)-rated resolver can be mounted on a machine shaft in hostile environments, such as mechanical shock, vibration, extreme humidity and temperature changes, oil mist, coolant sprays, solvents, etc., and the programmable control unit, M1020-PLS, can be mounted up to 2,500 ft. away in a control panel The splash-proof, oil-tight front plate permits the unit to be installed directly on the machine itself, if so required. The ratiometric converter used in the M1020-PLS assures high noise immunity and short-circuit-proof resolver wiring.

Fully Absolute Position
Unlike some other attempts to replace cam switches with incremental encoders, and/or counter modules in a PLC, the M1020-PLS maintains one crucial feature of cam switches ... it is totally absolute.

The M1020-PLS will give you reliable limit settings, irrespective of power outages, machine movement during a power outage, as well as during severe electrical noise!


A PLS AT THE COST OF CAM/LIMIT SWITCHES ($500)*

An innovative design and AVG Automation's fully automated 100,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility with the latest in state­of-the-art surface-mount equipment, have now made it possible to provide you with a programmable electronic cam/limit switch at the cost of electromechanical cam/limit switches. At less than $500.00 for eight cam outputs, the M1020-PLS offers all the advantages of a solid-state programmable device with the same degree of product reliability as any other AVG Autotech PLS, and yet at no penalty cost.
