Product Description

The Multifunctional Processor Module is an advanced type of CPU or technology module that integrates two independent runtime environments on a single hardware platform:

1. PLC Runtime: Executes the traditional, deterministic control program (e.g., STEP 7 logic) for real-time control, sequencing, and I/O management.
2. High-Level Language (HLL) Runtime: Provides a separate operating system (often based on Linux/SIMATIC Industrial OS) and a dedicated processing core for running non-deterministic, data-intensive applications written in high-level languages like C/C++ or Edge applications.

This module acts as a powerful Edge Computing device seamlessly integrated into the PLC rack, allowing users to consolidate complex algorithms, data connectivity, and control onto one module while maintaining the integrity and speed of the core automation logic.

Product Parameters

Parameters typically reflect its dual-core nature and enhanced connectivity:

• Processor Architecture: Features multi-core processors, with dedicated resources for the PLC kernel and the HLL environment.
• Memory Segmentation: Dedicated, large memory pools (e.g., hundreds of MB or several GB) for the HLL application, separate from the standard PLC work/load memory.
• Performance (HLL): Defined by the clock speed of the dedicated core and the available HLL memory.
• Interfaces: Includes multiple integrated PROFINET ports (often with Gigabit speed on one port for high-volume data traffic) and sometimes PROFIBUS DP.
• Openness: Supports high-level language extensions (e.g., C/C++) and Edge apps (e.g., SIMATIC Flow Creator).
• Communication Protocols: Integrated support for complex protocols like OPC UA Server (often with Method Call support) and database connectivity from the HLL environment.
• Real-Time Control: Maintains support for advanced functions like Isochronous Real-Time (IRT) for critical motion control tasks.

Product Advantages

• Convergence and Simplification: Consolidates two separate pieces of hardware (a standard PLC and an industrial PC/Gateway) into one module, reducing cabinet space, complexity, and hardware costs.
• High Performance Data Handling: Allows the execution of data-intensive tasks (e.g., complex algorithms, data preprocessing, vision system integration) closer to the machine (Edge Computing) without overburdening the core PLC control cycle.
• Investment Reuse: Enables the continued use of existing technological expertise and legacy algorithms written in high-level languages by deploying them directly on the module.
• Advanced Connectivity: Dedicated communication interfaces facilitate secure, high-bandwidth data exchange with IT systems, the cloud, or databases, supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives.
• Deterministic Control Integrity: The separation of the HLL runtime ensures that heavy processing loads or non-deterministic tasks do not interfere with the core, real-time control functions of the PLC program.
• Enhanced Security: The platform offers security features for both the control logic and the application code, protecting intellectual property and ensuring safe operation.

Important Notes

• Programming Complexity: Utilizing the HLL environment requires specialized programming skills (e.g., C/C++) beyond standard ladder logic or structured text programming.
• Resource Management: Developers must carefully manage the resources (CPU load, memory usage) of the HLL application to ensure stable, reliable performance on the dedicated core.
• Licensing: High-level language applications or specialized Edge Apps often require specific runtime licenses to be activated on the module.
• Dedicated Application: The HLL section of the module is intended for specific data processing and communication tasks; it should not be used to replace the deterministic control tasks handled by the PLC runtime.

Product Applications

The Multifunctional Processor Module is deployed in applications that demand both high-performance control and advanced data processing capabilities:

• Condition Monitoring (CM): Executing complex algorithms written in C/C++ for real-time analysis of machine vibration or acoustic data for predictive maintenance.
• Quality Inspection: Integrating and processing data from sophisticated vision systems, cameras, or complex sensor arrays directly at the machine.
• Data Preprocessing and Edge Analytics: Aggregating, filtering, and pre-processing large volumes of production data before sending optimized datasets to the cloud or MES/ERP systems.
• Protocol Conversion: Implementing customized communication protocols or drivers to connect proprietary field devices or legacy systems to the main PROFINET network.
• Database Connectivity: Enabling the PLC system to read or write directly to local or remote SQL databases for batch tracking, recipe management, or quality reporting.
