Ace PLC fit
Built for fast projects, low cost, compact size, and capable control.
Is Ace PLC a good choice for speed to market?
Yes. The Ace PLC Builder, vBuilder software, and focused model range help teams move from project requirements to PLC selection quickly.
Is Ace PLC a low-cost PLC?
Ace is positioned for cost-conscious machine control, test fixtures, OEM panels, and automation projects where a full rack system is more than the job needs.
Is Ace PLC small enough for compact machines?
Ace is a small PLC family for tight panels, compact machines, fixtures, and equipment layouts where controller footprint matters.
Is Ace PLC powerful enough for real automation projects?
Ace supports practical PLC capability including digital IO, analog options, serial communication, motion features, and Velocio software.
Velocio software
Program, debug, and operate with Velocio software.
vBuilder
Build ladder logic or flow chart applications, reuse logic with subroutines and objects, and catch warnings and errors in real time before surprises reach the machine.
Command HMI Software
Create operator controls quickly. Connect to a programmed PLC, gather tags, and build pages with graphs, labels, numbers, and value adjustment tools.
Terminal boards
Use screw terminals, relay outputs, optocoupled inputs, and transistor output boards when your wiring needs more than the standard connectors.
Simulation and setup
Simulator sticks, programming cables, power supplies, regulators, and DIN rail mounts help move from bench testing to installation.
Motion capable
Velocio PLCs include pulsed outputs, high-speed counters, and PWM on digital outputs for motion and intensity control.
