MS120 - More bang for your buck!

This is the PLC-alternative that is redefining how Original Equipment Manufacturers think about programmable machine control. The SPLat MS120 is a full-strength 12 I/O expandable electronic control with integral operator interface. Even at this ridiculous price you get a choice our powerful proprietary programming language or C, full floating point arithmetic, high speed counting and access to the broadest range of add-on functionality on the planet.

The MS120 is not just a microcontroller board or single board computer with a display. It has Real World outputs for driving solenoid valves, stepper motors or other DC loads. It has industrialised inputs for standard NPN or PNP sensors. The display and 5 push buttons can be programmed to do practically anything you need, including menus and variable data entry and display. Available expansion options include up to 64 digital I/O points with high power handling, analog, pH and non-contact temperature measurement. The built in multitasking operating system can handle 32 tasks at once, in addition to background processing of ModBus, quadrature counting, and networking with other SPLat controllers.

In short, while priced like a programmable relay, the MS120 is a serious programmable controller platform that can give your product a real competitive edge.

MS120 RS485 Adaptor
MS485
The MS485 is an RS485 adaptor designed specifically for the MS120's communication (programming) port. This port is not RS232, but CMOS/TTL levels. The MS485 converts it to 2-wire (half duplex) RS485. A special feature of the MS485 is that it provides automatic switching between transmit and received modes, by sensing when the MS120 starts transmitting. With this you can have up to 32 separate devices exchanging ModBus data at 9600BPS.
