S Series Expansion Module
Overview
The Samkoon S Series represents a highly versatile family of programmable logic controllers and expansion modules designed for flexible, decentralized automation. Every single module in the S Series is equipped with independent CPU processing capabilities and can operate as a standalone, fully functional PLC. Whether utilized as seamless local I/O expansions for FAs and FAT series PLCs, or deployed as decentralized standalone controllers running localized programs, the S Series adapts to your exact architectural needs. Divided into S-M, S, and S-E sub-series to align with different functional budgets, these modules offer unparalleled cost-efficiency and flexibility for modern machine builders.
Product Features
100% Standalone PLC Capability Across the Family
No need to purchase a bulky main controller for small-scale tasks. Every S Series module features its own dedicated logic processing core and onboard program memory. Programmed effortlessly via SamSoar2022, any module can run industrial logic autonomously as a self-contained micro PLC, enabling powerful, localized edge control.
Tailored Functional Grading: S-M, S, & S-E
Select the perfect model based on your process requirements without overpaying for unused hardware:
- S-M Series (Full-Featured): Equipped with real-time clock (RTC), power-off retentive memory, and high-speed counting/pulse outputs.
- S Series (Motion-Ready): Features high-speed counting and high-speed pulse outputs for precise positioning.
- S-E Series (Standard): Designed for cost-effective, standard logical control and general-purpose I/O without high-speed functions.
Flexible & Scalable I/O Expansion
Configure your cabinet on demand. The S Series offers an extensive range of digital inputs/outputs (supporting up to high-speed pulse trains in both NPN/PNP configurations), high-precision analog I/O, PT100 temperature sensors, and thermocouple modules.
Intuitive Programming via SamSoar2022
Configure and debug your system effortlessly with the SamSoar2022 software environment. The platform offers rapid compilation (<0.5s) and programming versatility, supporting Ladder Diagram (LD), Instruction List (IL), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC). Additionally, it supports customizable C-language blocks and one-click program migration from competing international PLC brands.
