Pico GFX-70 Controllers

Pico GFX-70 Controller

The Allen-Bradley Pico controller performs simple logic, timing, counting, and real-time clock operations. For enhanced functionality and performance, the Pico GFX-70 controller adds the use of a graphic display while offering advanced programming features like PID control, a high speed counter, and Boolean sequences. Since Pico controllers function as a timing relay and low-end PLC, they are ideal for relay replacement applications where simple control applications are necessary (building, HVAC, and parking lot lighting) and applications in which cost is a primary design issue. The Pico controllers were designed with ease-of-use in mind. All programming and data adjustments can be done via the on-board keypad and display, or with Allen-Bradley PicoSoft Pro configuration software.

Benefits

Small Size—The Pico GFX-70 controller has a small footprint to reduce panel space and system cost.
Simplicity—Simple ladder logic can be programmed with the on-board keypad and PicoSoft Pro programming software.
Flexibility— You can choose from two processors (one with and one without communications), four I/O blocks (relay or transistor out combined with or without analog out options). Choose from 120/240V AC or 24V DC versions.
Modularity—The Pico GFX-70 controller is easily fitted using two standard 22.5 mm drill holes. The components for the power supply and the optional inputs/outputs simply snap on the back of the display.
Economy— Pico GFX-70 controllers give you the option of using a controller and HMI in one simple to use package. PicoSoft Pro is used to program the ladder logic and graphic display. The Pico GFX-70 system proves to be a valuable package, with expansion capabilities, 24 hour clocks, HSC, and the ability to perform simple math functions.
Graphic Display—Import your own logo or any other bitmap into the pre-existing FREE library of bitmaps included with PicoSoft Pro. Display bitmaps, date, time, text, and more with the 70 mm screen. Choose one of the 10 available menu languages for on-board menu navigation.
Intelligent—You can: display text with variables, enter setpoint values, use 7-day and 52-week counters, output manipulated values as pulse-width modulated signals, trace the flow of a current in a circuit and so much more.
