THE TOUCHPRLS
Thank you for using Autotech/Uticor‟s TPRLS product.
The TPRLS is a unique product. It offers a full featured, easy to use touch panel HMI and PLS
(Programmable Limit Switch) functionality in one unit. The TPRLS provides fast and highly
repeatable position-based outputs which are used for timing operations in high speed machines,
such as press, packaging lines, etc. The TPRPLS uses a resolver as a position transducer.
The TPRLS product can be used:
As a standalone PLS with user programmable graphical user interface, or
As a PLS
and
HMI for your PLC, with user programmable graphical user interface that
can display/modify PLS as well as PLC information including data exchange between
PLS and PLC. For example, Position, RPM and/or output status information from PLS
can be sent to PLC; or the set point setup parameters can be sent from PLC to the PLS.
This Getting Started guide will take you through the steps necessary to get your TouchPRLS up
and running in the shortest possible time.
