Electromatic Denmark PLC TYPE 200816 Industrial Controller
The Electromatic Denmark PLC TYPE 200816 (also referenced as PLC200816) is a compact programmable logic controller designed for standalone machine control and building automation. It operates on 220V AC (50/60 Hz) mains power, making it directly connectable to industrial power supplies without an external transformer. The controller supports ladder logic programming and features a mix of digital I/O with expansion capabilities via a proprietary backplane bus.
Hardware Specifications
The CPU module integrates 16 digital inputs (24V DC sink/source) and 16 relay outputs (8 A resistive load per point). Inputs are optically isolated and include LED status indicators. Outputs are Form C relays (SPDT) rated for 250V AC / 30V DC. The module also includes two analog input channels (0–10V or 4–20mA selectable, 12-bit resolution). Program memory is 32 KB, sufficient for approximately 2000 ladder logic steps.
Power Supply Section
The internal power supply accepts 187–253V AC (220V nominal) with a frequency range of 47–63 Hz. Power consumption is 25 VA typical. An isolated 24V DC / 300 mA auxiliary output is available on the terminal block for powering external sensors. The power supply includes short-circuit and overvoltage protection, with a replaceable 2A slow-blow fuse.
Communication Ports
A built-in RS-232 port (9-pin D-sub) is used for programming and connection to an HMI panel. Baud rate is selectable from 2400 to 115200. Optionally, a RS-485 module (Type 200816-COM1) can be inserted into the expansion slot for Modbus RTU network communication (master or slave). The controller also has a USB 1.1 port (Type B) for firmware updates and data logging to a USB drive.
Programming Environment
Electromatic Denmark provides the WinPLC2000 software (Windows based) for programming the TYPE 200816. Languages supported: ladder diagram, instruction list, and function block diagram. Online monitoring, forced I/O, and watch variables are available. The controller retains the program in flash memory (no battery needed). Real-time clock (RTC) with 7-day backup capacitor is included for time-stamped events.
Expansion Capabilities
Up to 3 expansion modules can be connected via the backplane ribbon cable. Available expansion modules: 8-channel digital input (TYPE 2008-DI8), 8-channel relay output (TYPE 2008-RO8), 4-channel analog input (TYPE 2008-AI4), and 2-channel analog output (TYPE 2008-AO2). The maximum total I/O points is 64 digital or 16 analog channels. The bus cycle time is 2 ms for 64 points.
Environmental and Mechanical
Dimensions: 125 mm width x 90 mm height x 62 mm depth. Weight: 0.5 kg. Mounting: DIN rail (EN 60715) or screw panel. Operating temperature: 0 to 55°C; storage: -20 to 70°C. Humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing. Protection class: IP20. The housing is made of self-extinguishing polycarbonate (UL94 V-0).
Diagnostics and Status
LEDs on front panel: RUN (green), ERROR (red), PWR (green), and COMM (yellow). The error LED flashes a pattern to indicate error codes (e.g., program checksum fail, watchdog timeout). A 7-segment diagnostic display (2 digits) shows the last internal error code. The controller also logs power cycles and run hours in non-volatile memory.
Typical Applications
Common installations include conveyor belt controls, small packaging machines, pumping stations, and greenhouses. The relay outputs are suitable for direct control of contactors, solenoid valves, and small motors (up to 0.5 kW). The 220V AC input simplifies retrofit into existing European control panels where 24V DC may not be available.
Compliance and Ordering
Certified to CE, UL 508, and CCC (China). The PLC TYPE 200816 is RoHS compliant. Order code: 200816. The unit is supplied with programming cable (USB to RS-232, 2m) and a set of terminal numbering labels. Manual available in English and German (Electromatic document no. 200816-MAN).
