P&C Protection & Control

OEM-PLC / AL-10SP

AutoLog® AL-10SP PLC.

Special-Purpose AutoLog® OEM PLC built around a five-channel 16-bit analog input front-end tuned for pipeline cathodic-protection monitoring. Software-selectable input ranges per point — 0-800 mV DC, 0-3.2 V DC, 0-50 V DC, 0-100 V DC — surge-protected against lightning and opto-isolated. Four digital inputs, four digital outputs, two serial ports, two PID-capable PLC paths. The AL-10SP is the controller inside the AutoLog® Cathodic Protection RTU (Enhanced WRMU). Made in Finland, verified operating range −30 to +70 °C.

AutoLog® AL-10SP PLC

Special-Purpose OEM-PLC · 5× 16-bit AI · Cathodic Protection

Five 16-bit analog inputs with CP-specific input ranges selectable per point in software. Surge-protected and opto-isolated front-end. Four digital inputs and four digital outputs on-board. Two serial ports running Modbus RTU master/slave simultaneously. Same ALProWin programming environment as the rest of the family. Same 512 kB FLASH / 8 000-line program capacity and 32 built-in PID controllers as the compact AL-4 / AL-8 / AL-14LP.
