2080-LC10-12DWD Brand New Smart Relay Controller PLC Module 2080LC1012DWD
PRODUCT DETAILS
2080-LC10-12DWD — 12-Point Compact Controller, 12V DC, Relay Outputs
The 2080-LC10-12DWD is the smallest controller in its compact platform family, combining 8 onboard inputs (4 dedicated digital, 4 shared analog/digital at 0–10V) with 4 relay outputs in a 12V DC-powered unit. Two of the relay outputs are rated for 8A at 240V AC — high enough to switch many loads directly without an interposing relay — while the remaining two are rated at 4A, giving the controller a mix of high-current and standard switching capacity in one compact body.

A Smart Relay With Programming Capability
This controller sits at the intersection of a basic smart relay and a true programmable logic controller. It has the simplicity and compact footprint of a smart relay — high-current relay outputs that drive loads directly, a small LCD keypad for embedded function block configuration — but underneath that, full programming capability in Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, or Structured Text, including floating-point math and PID loop control. For applications like temperature regulation, compressor control, or simple elevator logic, this gives more flexibility than a smart relay's fixed function blocks alone would provide, without stepping up to a larger controller platform.
The shared analog/digital input channels add flexibility at this small scale — the same four input points can be configured as straightforward digital inputs or as 0–10V analog inputs depending on what the application needs, rather than committing to a fixed split between the two types at the hardware level.
FAQ
Q: Can the relay outputs switch a load directly without an external relay?
Yes, within their rated current — outputs 00 and 01 handle up to 8A at 240V AC directly, which covers many solenoids, small motor starters, and contactor coils without needing an interposing relay.
Q: Can this controller communicate with an HMI terminal?
Yes. It's commonly paired with compact HMI terminals in the same product family for simple local operator interface, communicating over the controller's available serial or USB connection depending on the HMI model's interface requirements.
Q: Are the four analog/digital inputs isolated from the four dedicated digital inputs?
No. Both input groups are non-isolated on this DC-powered variant — verify the field wiring grounding scheme is consistent across all connected devices to avoid measurement or signal interference issues.
Q: How is the program transferred to the controller without an Ethernet port?
Programming and configuration are done via USB 2.0 using an adapter plug connected to a PC running the appropriate programming software — no Ethernet connectivity is built into this controller model.
