Product Description
Remote Field Controllers for Ethernet networks
When it comes to distributed, modular automation, Remote Field Controllers (RFC) with IEC 61131 control system intelligence and network connection are the ideal solution. Remote Field Controllers are compact, industrial PCs that provide networked, PC-based control performance on site with DIN rail mounting.
Integrated Ethernet connection
The integrated Ethernet network connections in RJ45 format ensure the important Ethernet connectivity.
The "DIN rail PCs" can be reached via Ethernet and TCP/IP by means of remote operation. Programming, operation, and visualization via the network enable innovative and cost-effective automation solutions.
When using the AX OPC server, standardized coupling with various visualization packages is also available via Ethernet.
Java Applet based user interfaces are created with WebVisit. The ready user interfaces are directly saved on the controller and can then be used with a web browser for operating a system or a machine. IEC 61131 controller performance
All Remote Field Controllers are seamlessly configured and programmed according to IEC 61131 using the PC WORX automation software. PC WORX can be operated locally at a serial interface or via the network (Ethernet).
The powerful processor can be programmed in all five IEC 61131 programming languages and ensures quick control task processing.
Ethernet communication
Using the IP communication blocks Send and Receive, information, e.g. necessary coupling variables, can be exchanged via Ethernet. The TCP and UDP protocols are supported. This enables distributed, modular automation solutions to be configured. Even time synchronization is possible via the Ethernet network.
PROFINET communication
The RFC has an integrated PROFINET controller. It can operate up to 100 lower-level PROFINET devices. It can also be operated as a PROFINET device in a higher-level system.
Diagnostic display
The large and clear display can be used to configure settings and diagnose error states in detail.
