Super PLC · EZWire
The first PLC with integrated field-wiring I/O terminals: every digital and analog point gets its own power (+24V or +5V) and 0V on a 3-level screwless terminal — wire sensors and actuators directly, no extra terminal blocks or harnesses.
Overview
The EZWire1616 is the first of its kind in the PLC market with integrated, field-wiring I/O terminals. Every digital and analog I/O point is provided with its own power (+24V or +5V) and 0V on a 3-level screwless terminal, so every sensor and actuator can be wired directly to the PLC — no additional screw terminal blocks or wire-harnesses.
This design saves system integrators and machine OEMs valuable time, material cost, control-panel space and wiring-error recovery effort during installation. The EZWire1616 uses TRi's top-line SmartTILE-Fx CPU: full floating-point math, non-volatile FRAM, flash file system, battery-backed RTC, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, 12-bit ADC, 4–20mA DAC, PWM, stepper control and Modbus RTU/TCP.
