Its 8-bit onboard microprocessor allows for multiple customization options, including PLC replacement. The DCH performs optimally in situations that need 12-24 VDC motors to be controlled with only 115 or 230 VAC power available. Compatibility with a 0-5 or 0-10 VDC analog from PLCs is provided by an isolated front end.
