PS-6144 Description

Controller & Keypad

PS-6144 Series Programmable Limit Switches consist of two main components, the
controller and the keypad/display. The controller houses the microprocessor, associat-
ed circuitry, and all of the I/O circuits. This eliminates the need for external I/O racks.

A separate 1/4 DIN keypad/display provides a complete user interface from which ev-
ery aspect of the controller’s operation can be monitored and programmed. Multiple
keypads can be connected to a single controller. In addition, when interfaced to a PLC
or other computer, the controller can be used without a keypad/display. When properly
mounted with the gasket provided, the keypad/display meets NEMA 4 standards. A
clear silicon rubber boot assembly is available to provide NEMA 4X protection for in-
stallations where harsh washdown chemicals are used.

The PS-6144 Series is available in two models, the PS-6144-24-X16-M09 and the PS-
6144-24M17. Both are described in Figure 3.

The PS-6144-24-X16-M09 has 25 total outputs:

• 16 transistor outputs are built into the controller.

• Outputs 17 through 25 can accept AC or DC output

modules for driving “real world” devices such as
solenoids, valves, or glue guns.

• Outputs 24 & 25 will also accept an analog module

that generates a control signal proportional to RPM.

The PS-6144-24M17 has 17 total outputs:

• Outputs 1 through 17 can accept AC or DC output

modules for driving “real world” devices such as
solenoids, valves, or glue guns.

• Outputs 16 & 17 will also accept an analog module

that generates a control signal proportional to RPM.

PS-6144-24-X16-M09 Controller—Up to 25
Outputs

PS-6144-24M17 Controller—Up to 17 Outputs
