The control unit has a powerful CPU with 400 MHz, which was specially optimized for CODESYS target and web visualization. The operation is done comfortably via a 7" TFT touch display.
The extremely compact and robust metal housing enables applications in harsh industrial environments. An integrated Ethernet interface can be used for debugging, remote maintenance, software updates or higher-level visualization. A USB port allows machine parameters and data records to be exchanged quickly and easily via USB stick (individual scripts can be executed automatically). As further communication interfaces, the PLC is provided with three serial and one CAN connection which is specified according to CANopen.
The controller can act as a CANopen master, this can be easily configured from the CODESYS controller configuration and guarantees the optimal control of CANopen IOs and drives. All data of the controller are stored on an integrated microSD card of up to 32 GB.
CODESYS programming according to IEC 61131-3
Based on a 32-bit microcontroller with integrated target visualization on the PLC, eControl micro is programmed with the CODESYS V.3.x runtime system according to IEC 61131-3. For demanding visualization tasks, there are ready-made visualization elements such as trend graphics, alarm tables or pointer instruments that enable quick and easy operation.
