Tealware I/O Rack


SoftPLC's Tealware I/O system provides a wide range of modules, including 125VDC digital  and high resolution analog (both current and voltage).

Selected Tealware I/O modules meet the Surge Withstand Capabilities requirements* in the IEEE® Std C37.90.1-2002™ , as certified by an independent testing lab.  Compliance with this IEEE standard is a must for many utility applications, such as those in power generation facilities.

No other PLC or general purpose distributed I/O product line fully complies with the requirements of this standard.  In fact, if you examine the detail of most vendors' statements they specifically list exceptions to their compliance of this standard (contact us and we can provide details and vendor names).  

Tealware systems are a cost-effective solution for many control applications.  A rack mounted CPU is available, or the I/O can be used in conjunction with other SoftPLC CPU's such as our Hardbook Processors.


* Passing the IEEE Standard for Surge Withstand Capability Tests for Relays and Relay Systems Associated with Electric Power Apparatus requires continued operation during tests of both a fast transient waveform at 4kV and an oscillatory waveform at 2.5kV.
125V Input Module for DC & AC
The Tealware SXDC125A module is now available. This 16 point module can be used for 125VDC or 125VAC inputs and meets the requirements for the IEEE C37.90.1 Surge Withstand.
