Elite-2000

The most powerful PLC in its class. Fast, Reliable and packed with options.

Highlights | Specifications | Ordering Information | Warranty | Main Page

The Elite-2000 is the successor of Entertron's SK1600 solid state programmable logic controller. One of the industries first small controllers. Over 20 years of application history comes with the Elite-2000 through the SK1600. The design has been proven many times. Reliability is second to none. The triac/transistor design offers the performance of a mechanical relay and the reliability of solid state. No other triac or transistor output in the industry compares. What makes the design reliable is the added protection designed into the controller. Each output is optically isolated. Each output also has its own MOV (for AC) or diode (for DC) for noise suppression and a fuse to protect the controller. With other PLCs, you are required to add this protection. With Entertron's Elite-2000, it is built in.

We are so confident about the performance of the Elite-2000, that we have extended our warranty again. This time from 5 years to 7 years. No other PLC manufacturer offers a warranty greater than 1 year.

The Elite-2000 can handle just about any application. Where this controller offers its greatest benefits are applications that require fast execution of I/O. Applications that require rapid, repititious execution of I/O, such as packaging, stamping and monitoring would be ideal for the Elite-2000.

Other advantages to the Elite-2000 include the ability to be configured for different voltages, such as 24 VAC. This voltage is typically used for Car Washes and HVAC. With traditional PLCs, you would be required to do the following:

  • Use a controller with 24 VDC inputs and 24 VDC power. Then you would be required to use additional relays to feed all your 24 VAC inputs through, thus converting to DC. In doing so, additional logic is required for controlling the relays, thus adding to your progam, and consequently adding to the cost.

The Elite-2000 can be configured for 24 VAC inputs, outputs and power directly. No additional logic or relays are required. Thus saving time and cost.

Do you require various analog signals in your application (voltage, current, temperature, millivolt)? With traditional modular PLCs, you will require a separate module for each type of analog signal. The Elite-2000 analog only expansion boards can be manufactured to meet your exact needs.

The Elite-2000 has been tested to determine the minimum power voltage needed to turn on a transistor output. It was able to turn on a transistor output with as little as 8 VDC powering the controller. Thus, this controller would also benefit mobile and automotive applications operating on battery power.

For special applications, Entertron can configure the Elite-2000 with combination I/O in as small a group as four.
