Programming, set-up and diagnosis via the Ethernet network.
Modbus/TCP connection and WEB server.

Introduction
In the world of automation, controller E is the family name for AS-i masters with powerful integrated PLCs. As an additional interface, the Profibus gateway described here features an Ethernet interface with the CoDeSys Automation Alliance protocol. This allows programming of all connected controller E devices via a TCP/ IP connection from any location. The devices enable diagnosis via the integrated WEB server and at the same time the cyclical exchange of data via Profibus.
CoDeSys programming and visualisation tool
All controller E devices from ifm can be programmed in programming languages to IEC61131-3 using this software. The AS-i systems of all connected controller E devices can be configured centrally.
Advantages and customer benefits:
• Safety at Work diagnosis
The integrated diagnostic tool enables the detection of connected safety slaves and reading of additional information. This considerably simplifies finding of the triggering safety elements.
