Pico Controller

Is it a PLC, or is it a smart relay? The Allen-Bradley Pico controller

performs simple logic, timing, counting, and real-time clock

operations. Splitting the difference between a timing relay and

a low-end PLC, the Pico is ideal for relay replacement applications,

simple control applications such as building and parking lot lighting,

and applications in which cost is a primary design issue.

The Pico was designed with ease-of-use in mind. Pico can be

programmed without any special software. All programming

and data adjustments can be done via the on-board keypad

and LCD display.

And its flexible. Pico can be either DIN-rail or panel mounted,

depending upon the needs of your application. Pico is available,

too, in 120V/240V ac and 24V dc versions all with large 8A

relay outputs to drive a wide range of electrical components. And

the dc-powered Pico controllers have two inputs that can be used

as either dc digital inputs or 0-10V analog inputs, giving you the

flexibility to work with a wide variety of input signals.

Smaller, simpler applications now require controls with some

intelligence. Smart devices continue to replace relays, and

controllers continue to become smaller. When looking for a

small, inexpensive control solution, look to the Allen-Bradley

Pico controller.

Product Profile

Key Features and Benefits:

No programming software is required1 use the on-board LCD

display and keypad for all programming and data changes

Small size smaller than many relays, saving panel space and

system cost

Simplicity Performs basic PLC functions, such as logic,

timers and counters. Almost anybody can write simple

programs or make data adjustments.

Real-time Clock

Analog inputs for DC controllers

High Current Relay Outputs can eliminate interposing

relays reduced panel space and system cost
