The ALPHA programmable controller has been designed to provide flexible supervisory control around your factory, office, home, or anywhere you need it!
The ALPHA has a number of powerful features packed into it's tiny frame - Real time clock, High current switching, relays, analogue inputs, security code clearance,100 hours back up memory - all in a compact, DIN rail or screw type mountable frame.
But what separates the Tiny Giant from competitors is the ease of use. The Windows based Visual Logic Software (VLS) is the most user - friendly way to program a controller for any user.
The function block programming lets you select from a pre-made set of inputs, outputs and function blocks. Anyone can drag, drop, point and click their way to a complete program. Perfect for the beginner programmer, yet powerful enough for the most advanced requirements! On device programming allows fingertip program updates or data entry directly from the front panel.
Alpha controllers are the ideal, cost-effective automation solution for a wide range of applications, including lighting, conveyors, gates, packaging machines and much, much more.

Analogue Control
Analog outputs and temperature sensor inputs can be added to the main unit.
Engineering Software
Intuitive, function block-based programming software for the Alpha2 enables easy and efficient programming.
AL-PCS/WIN is the standard programming and documentation software for all Alpha Series controllers and provides an easy to use graphical programming environment. Program elements are placed on the function block diagram with visible wires to connect them and the I/O terminals. Monitoring functions with optional pictures of the use’s application in the background are also available.
