WEG PLC200 Programmable Logic Controller

Introduction

The WEG PLC200 is a compact industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) designed for small to medium-sized automation applications. It incorporates onboard digital I/O, with additional I/O available through expansion modules where required. The PLC200 is programmed and configured using WEG’s WPS programming platform and includes Ethernet, RS485 and USB-C communication interfaces.
