These PLCs introduce revolutionary new concepts, capabilities, performance and ease of use features to the automation market. They constitute a generational leap over the staid products that have comprised the PLC world for years. Ace PLCs are the small, stand alone members of the Velocio family. They brings incredible power, in a very small package and at a very low price. Many control system applications require 36 points of IO or less, all located very close to the PLC. For those applications, Aces are the Velocio PLCs that fit the requirements. Ace PLCs are programmable, using Velocio's vBuilder software. The program development interface between the PC running vBuilder and an Ace is a standard USB communications cable. Through this USB cable, the Ace PLC can be programmed, debugged and deployed. Ace PLCs interface a variety of inputs and outputs. Certain models have additional communications ports for interfacing HMIs, cellular modems, other PLCs and other devices. The functionality available for incorporation into your application program is very encompassing and easy to implement. In addition to the features and interfaces common Features to most PLCs, Ace PLCs incorporate a number of advanced features. Some of these features include high speed stepper motion control of up to three motors simultaneously, PWM (pulse width modulation), PID control, high speed pulse counter inputs, configurable digital input debounce and custom communications under program control. The Ace's small size is another key feature. High end automation capabilites are packed into a PLC that fits in a shirt pocket. For those systems with limited availabilty of space, the Ace can provide a solution. USB connection to PC and other Host devices Smallest physical footprint of any PLC High end software features that are easy to use Graphical program development in flow charts or ladder Interactive, graphical debug functionality Software reusablity Subroutines, PID, motion, statistics & many more High speed pulse and direction motion control of up to 3 stepper or servo motors PWM capability on all digital outputs • Enhanced and efficient development process • Reduced system cost • Reduced development time • Improved reliability • Embeddable within product • Rapid development and deployment

Focus on Safety Velocio PLCs are general purpose devices, designed to provide an applications engineer or technician the capability to easily configure, program and make operational, specific projects of interest. Those specific applications can involve nearly anything and may have aspects that might be dangerous. Providing a safe operating environment for personnel and equipment is your responsibility and should be your primary goal during system design and installation. Control systems can fail. You should not rely on the control system alone to provide for a safe operating environment. External...
