Crouzet's Millennium Slim "The smallest logic controller ever"

We here at URS world headquarters were already quite impressed by Crouzet's Millenium Series of logic controllers (only one “n” in Millenium for those keeping google score). Never a company that rests on its laurels, Crouzet went and outdid themselves with the Millenium Slim series PLCs. Here are 4 reasons we think you will be a convert:

1. SPACE REDUCTION: The Millenium Slim is the smallest logic controller ever with a total width of 17.5 mm (.69 in). 

2. MULTIPURPOSE: With multiple functions, the Slim can replace any number of products in your control panel. 

3. INTERCONNECTIVITY: Onboard Bluetooth technology allows for wireless connectivity to easily access your applications. 

4. SIMPLICITY: Intuitive "easiest-to-use" software and smartphone virtual display allows for cable-less quick start and fast maintenance. 

If you are interested in more information on the world's smallest logic controller with all the power of the infinity stones (hyperbole), we encourage to you to reach out to your URS account representative at (503) 233-5341 or email us at sales@ursele.com. 

Not convinced?! Crouzet has a great page with all the "infos". (Take me there now!)

Raspberry PI Computer Kits

The Raspberry Pi 400 Computer Kit is a complete and powerful personal computer built into a compact keyboard enclosure at a fraction of the cost for a standard desktop computer or comparable power.

The computer features a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO header.

Raspberry Pi 400 incorporates a purpose-built board based on Raspberry Pi 4. Featuring the same powerful processor, Raspberry Pi 400 has specially designed thermals to keep your computer cool and silent while you’re hard at work.

The GPIO pins remain accessible, so if you want to explore beyond the desktop, you can connect components and prototype your projects.

Your personal computer kit comes with a mouse, power supply, micro HDMI to HDMI cable, SD card preloaded with Raspberry Pi OS, and the very handy Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide.

We highly recommend hitting us up for one - they are just so cool! Call us at 503-233-5341 or email us at sales@ursele.com for more info.
