Product Details

XC3-60R-E Product Description

The Xinje XC3-60R-E is a 60-point relay output programmable logic controller engineered for seamless deployment within the XC3 Series control architecture. Designed to serve as the central processing and output coordination node in mid-scale automation systems, the XC3-60R-E delivers deterministic scan-cycle performance, robust relay-driven discrete output capability, and native compatibility with the full XC3 ecosystem of expansion modules, communication adapters, and HMI interfaces. Whether deployed in standalone machine control or integrated into a distributed plant-floor architecture, the XC3-60R-E provides the signal integrity, modular scalability, and long-term serviceability that industrial engineers demand from a production-grade controller platform.

Built on XINJE's proven XC3 platform, this controller supports ladder diagram and instruction list programming via the XCPPro development environment, enabling rapid commissioning and structured program management across multi-axis and multi-zone control applications. Its relay output configuration makes it particularly well-suited for applications requiring galvanic isolation between the control logic and field devices, including motor starters, solenoid valves, indicator lamps, and electromechanical actuators operating across a wide voltage range.

The XC3-60R-E is not a standalone device — it is the control nucleus of a layered automation architecture. In a complete XC3-based system, the XC3-60R-E CPU coordinates directly with XC3-E series digital and analog expansion modules to extend I/O capacity beyond the base 60 points, enabling coverage of complex multi-zone processes without requiring a secondary controller. For applications demanding analog signal conditioning, the XC3-32EYR-E analog expansion module integrates seamlessly into the same backplane bus, providing 4–20mA and 0–10V signal acquisition for pressure transmitters, flow meters, and temperature sensors.

Communication architecture is handled through the built-in RS-485 port, which supports MODBUS RTU master/slave operation for integration with XINJE DS5 series servo drives and VH series variable frequency drives, enabling coordinated motion and speed control from a single PLC program. For Ethernet-based supervisory connectivity, the XC-NET-E Ethernet communication module extends the XC3-60R-E into SCADA and MES environments via MODBUS TCP, supporting real-time data exchange with plant-level historians and OPC-UA gateways.

At the HMI layer, the XC3-60R-E pairs natively with XINJE TG series touch panels (TG765-MT, TG465-MT) via RS-485 or Ethernet, providing operators with real-time process visualization, alarm management, and parameter adjustment without requiring third-party protocol converters. For safety-critical applications, the architecture supports integration with XC3-series digital input expansion modules configured for emergency stop and safety interlock monitoring, ensuring that the relay output layer responds deterministically to protective shutdown commands.

Power distribution within the control cabinet is typically managed by a XINJE or third-party 24VDC DIN-rail power supply rated at 5A or 10A, supplying the XC3-60R-E CPU and all expansion modules from a common DC bus. For installations requiring network-level isolation, an industrial Ethernet switch (unmanaged, 5- or 8-port, DIN-rail mount) is recommended between the XC3-60R-E Ethernet module and the plant network backbone to prevent broadcast storms from affecting PLC scan-cycle determinism.

In redundancy-sensitive applications such as power generation auxiliaries or water treatment lift stations, the XC3-60R-E can be deployed in a hot-standby configuration using XINJE XC5 series redundant CPU modules as the primary controller, with the XC3-60R-E serving as a distributed remote I/O node — extending the redundant architecture to field devices without duplicating the entire control cabinet. Terminal wiring is standardized using Phoenix Contact or equivalent DIN-rail terminal blocks, ensuring consistent wire management and simplified maintenance access across the relay output field wiring layer.

Manufacturing & Assembly Lines: The XC3-60R-E is widely deployed in discrete manufacturing environments including automotive component assembly, PCB handling conveyors, and packaging machinery. Its 36-point digital input capacity accommodates proximity sensors, photoelectric barriers, and limit switches across multiple conveyor zones, while the 24-point relay output layer drives pneumatic solenoids, motor contactors, and indicator towers with full galvanic isolation from the 24VDC logic bus.

Power Distribution & Electrical Substations: In medium-voltage switchgear panels and transformer protection circuits, the XC3-60R-E's relay outputs provide the dry-contact switching required for breaker trip coils, alarm annunciators, and interlock relays. Its RS-485 MODBUS RTU interface enables integration with power quality meters and protection relays, supporting centralized substation automation without requiring a dedicated RTU.

Water & Wastewater Treatment: Municipal water treatment plants and industrial effluent systems rely on the XC3-60R-E for pump sequencing, valve actuation, and level-based interlock logic. The controller's analog expansion capability supports 4–20mA level transmitters and pH sensors, while the relay outputs drive submersible pump motor starters and chemical dosing pump contactors across multiple treatment stages.

Petrochemical & Process Industries: In continuous process environments including chemical reactors, distillation columns, and pipeline compression stations, the XC3-60R-E manages discrete safety interlocks, shutdown valve actuation, and process alarm relay outputs. Its operating temperature range and DIN-rail mounting make it suitable for installation in climate-controlled field junction boxes adjacent to process equipment.

Mining & Metallurgy: Conveyor belt control, crusher sequencing, and ventilation fan management in underground and surface mining operations benefit from the XC3-60R-E's robust relay output architecture. The controller's resistance to electrical noise from variable-speed drives and high-current motor switching is reinforced by proper cabinet grounding and the inherent isolation of relay contact outputs.

Q1: How many expansion modules can be connected to the XC3-60R-E, and what types are supported? The XC3-60R-E supports up to 8 XC3-E series expansion modules connected via the right-side expansion bus. Supported module types include digital input (XC3-16EX-E), digital output (XC3-16EYR-E, XC3-16EYT-E), analog input/output (XC3-4AD-E, XC3-2DA-E), and temperature input modules. This allows the base 60-point system to scale to over 180 I/O points within a single rack, covering the majority of mid-scale machine and process control applications without requiring a second CPU or distributed I/O network.

Q2: Is the XC3-60R-E compatible with XINJE HMI panels and servo drives for integrated motion and visualization? Yes. The XC3-60R-E communicates natively with XINJE TG series HMI panels via RS-485 MODBUS RTU, requiring no additional protocol gateway. For servo and drive integration, the built-in RS-485 port supports MODBUS RTU master operation to XINJE DS5 servo drives and VH series VFDs, enabling position, speed, and torque command coordination from the PLC program. Ethernet-based integration with XINJE TG panels and third-party SCADA systems is available via the optional XC-NET-E Ethernet expansion module, supporting MODBUS TCP and enabling remote monitoring and parameter adjustment over plant LAN infrastructure.
