The Automation Controller „AuCo“ is a central control unit with several pre-installed digital interfaces and communication devices for minor automation applications.
The interfaces are:
Digital interface for safety control
RWM driver for DC motors
Digital and analog interfaces to multiple devices
Digital inputs and outputs for automation devices
Ethernet interface for connecting a computer via REST-API
CAN interface for basic CAN communications
Serial interface for diagnostic purposes
A typical application can be the control of a marking laser with parts’ handling.
Advantages
The compact design offers connecting with the individual actors via direct cable connections so that constructing an electrical cabinet is not necessary. Being individually programmable, the AuCo provides multiple and fast control and communication functions.
Software interfaces
The AuCo is programmed in C as embedded system. The basic functions of all interfaces and automation functions as well as communication functions are pre-installed. Therefore the software design must only be realized in a periodic form, similar to PLC programming.
However, the AuCo can also be used in combination with a PC application like LisRT V3 where the requested functions are programmed in Python. Then the Automation-Controller serves as peripheral component for inputs and outputs. For more information please visit www.LisRT.de
