Product Description

A multifunctional processor module is a high-performance computational unit designed to execute a variety of complex automation tasks simultaneously. Unlike standard processors that focus primarily on cyclic logic execution, these modules feature a multi-core or heterogeneous architecture capable of running real-time control applications alongside high-level language programs, database management tools, or specialized communication protocols. This “all-in-one” approach allows for the integration of functions like complex motion control, artificial intelligence inference, and advanced data processing directly at the controller level. By consolidating these features into a single module, it reduces the need for separate industrial PCs or specialized gateways, streamlining the system architecture.

Product Parameters

The technical specifications of these modules reflect their high computational power and versatility:

• Processor Architecture: Multi-core technology designed to partition real-time control tasks from high-level data processing.

• Operating Systems: Support for dual-environment execution, often combining a proprietary real-time operating system (RTOS) with an open platform.

• Memory Capacity: Significant expansion of work and load memory to accommodate both logic code and large-scale data arrays or high-level applications.

• Interface Diversity: Integrated high-speed ports for Industrial Ethernet, as well as interfaces for specialized technological functions and mass storage.

• Computing Performance: High-speed floating-point arithmetic and bit-processing capabilities for demanding mathematical models.

• Storage Support: Compatibility with high-capacity memory cards for extensive data logging and storage of complex program files.

Product Advantages

• System Consolidation: Combines multiple automation functions into one module, reducing the physical footprint in the control cabinet and lowering hardware costs.

• High-Speed Data Exchange: Direct internal communication between the control logic and high-level applications eliminates the latency associated with external network connections.

• Technological Flexibility: Supports the implementation of proprietary algorithms written in high-level languages like C++ or through model-based design tools.

• Enhanced Performance: Offloads computationally intensive tasks—such as image processing or complex kinematics—from the main CPU to ensure consistent real-time response.

• Simplified Engineering: Integrated within a unified software framework, allowing for the management of logic, motion, and data processing in one project.

Important Considerations

• Thermal Management: Due to the high processing power, these modules can generate substantial heat and require strict adherence to mounting clearances and ventilation guidelines.

• Task Partitioning: Engineers must carefully manage the distribution of resources between real-time and non-real-time tasks to ensure that high-level processing does not interfere with critical control cycles.

• Security Configuration: Because these modules often interface with both the production floor and higher-level IT networks, robust cybersecurity settings and firewall configurations are essential.

• Firmware and Software Versioning: Maintaining synchronization between the module’s firmware and the engineering software versions is critical for the stability of multifunctional features.

Product Applications

• Advanced Motion Control: Coordinating multi-axis systems requiring complex path interpolation and synchronization in robotics or packaging.

• Edge Computing and Analytics: Collecting, filtering, and pre-processing raw machine data for predictive maintenance and cloud-based analysis.

• High-Level Language Integration: Executing specialized mathematical models or custom control algorithms that are difficult to implement in standard PLC languages.

• Vision System Integration: Managing the data flow and logic associated with industrial camera systems for quality inspection or sorting.

• Database Management: Directly logging production parameters into local or remote SQL databases without the need for an intermediary PC.
