akYtec’s PR103 sets a new standard in compact automation solutions by integrating cutting-edge features into a robust programmable logic controller (PLC) design. Tailored for managing systems such as ventilation, heating, and pump groups, the PR103 combines functionality, scalability, and modern connectivity.
The PR103 is the first in akYtec’s line to feature an Ethernet interface, facilitating advanced integration in industrial networks. This capability allows for remote management through the soon-to-be-launched akYtec Cloud service. Additionally, dual RS485 interfaces enable seamless communication at the field level, supporting both Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols.
With its modular approach, the PR103 can accommodate up to two PRM expansion modules via an internal bus, effectively increasing I/O channels. The device can handle a wide array of inputs and outputs, including:
User programs are created using the free ALP software in the Function Block Diagram (FBD) language, with support for Structured Text (ST) function blocks. The device's memory is easily configured via USB, Ethernet, or RS485, ensuring quick deployment and minimal setup time.
