  • Compatible Rollers Include:
    • Interroll EC310
    • Interroll EC5000 24V (Upto 75W)
    • Rulmeca BL3
    • Itoh Denki MDRs
    • And more
    Rebranding For conveyor companies and integrators - make a bold impression.

Intellecat Gateway/PLC

Control the EC30 cards using our Intellecat PLC, Rockwell PLC, or use the built-in ZPA transport mode.

Intellecat is our Gateway/PLC based on ethercat technology.

  • Gateway Mode: It acts as a bridge between the EC30 and Rockwell PLCs as well as PC based software VSLogix
  • PLC Mode: Intellecat is a complete PLC. Download your own program and run the system without any external PLC or PC support.
  • Multi-Protocol Support: Supports EtherNet/IP, MODBUS, EtherCAT protocols.
  • High Speed EtherCAT Performance: EtherCAT provides high-speed, high data bandwidth, and low-latency data exchange for best I/O control performance.
  • Fast Polling Rate: Supports Scan rates of multiple conveyor segments within 1-5 ms.

VSLogix Programming Software

  • Full Programming Capability: Intellecat Gateway/PLC supports complete programming using the free VSLogix software.
  • Conveyor Types Programming: Integrators can program conveyor types such as cross‑transfer, merge, and accumulation using ladder‑logic templates.
  • Code Reusability: The same logic templates can be reused across similar conveyor sections, speeding up development
  • Faster Integration and Commissioning: Creating reusable logic templates reduces integration time and accelerates commissioning of conveyor systems.
Download the free VSLogix software to program your conveyor system and get access to sample logic templates for different conveyor types.

A video tutorial is available to guide users through programming with VSLogix software.
