Product Description

A Programmable Controller system executes a logic program stored in its memory to monitor inputs from the field (sensors, switches) and make decisions to control outputs (actuators, motors, valves). Unlike general-purpose computers, it is built for continuous, real-time, deterministic operation in harsh industrial environments. The system architecture is modular, allowing users to tailor the controller’s capacity, performance, and communication capabilities precisely to the application’s needs.

Product Parameters

Parameters define the overall system capacity and performance of the chosen controller platform:

• System Performance: Defined by the speed of the CPU (Processor Module), which determines the minimum achievable cycle time for the entire control program.

• Capacity:

  • Memory: Total capacity for user program and data (Work and Load memory, measured in $text{MB}$).

  • I/O Count: Maximum number of digital and analog I/O points that the system can address and manage (local and distributed).

• Networking: Integrated and supported communication protocols (e.g., PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Industrial Ethernet, OPC UA) and the maximum number of network devices it can manage.

• Modularity: Support for different module types (e.g., DI/DO/AI/AO, Safety, Technology, Communication) and ability to expand the rack or distributed system.

• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range, resistance to vibration, shock, and ingress protection (IP rating) for industrial use.

• Software Ecosystem: Compatibility with the unified engineering software suite (e.g., TIA Portal) for seamless configuration, programming, and diagnosis.

Product Advantages

• Real-Time and Deterministic Control: Guarantees that control actions are executed precisely when needed, ensuring process synchronization, product quality, and machine safety.

• High Availability and Redundancy: Offers integrated features for hardware redundancy (e.g., redundant CPUs, power supplies, and networks) to maximize system uptime in critical applications.

• Integrated Functions: Provides built-in functions for Motion Control, System Diagnostics, and Industrial Security, simplifying engineering and enhancing system functionality without requiring third-party solutions.

• Scalability and Flexibility: The modular design allows the system to be precisely tailored and easily expanded, from controlling a small machine to managing a large-scale, distributed production facility.

• Longevity and Support: Designed for long operational lifecycles, backed by extensive product support, training, and backward compatibility.

• Cybersecurity: Includes robust, multi-layered security concepts to protect the controller and its data from unauthorized access and manipulation.

Important Notes

• System Sizing: Ensure that the selected CPU performance and memory capacity are sufficient to handle the required I/O count, program complexity, and communication load without exceeding the desired cycle time.

• Industrial Security: The user is responsible for implementing a complete security strategy, including network segmentation, access control, and regularly applying firmware updates.

• Environmental Integrity: The controller components must be installed within the specified environmental limits (temperature, humidity) to prevent premature failure. Proper cabinet cooling is essential.

• Grounding and Shielding: Correct grounding and shielding practices are mandatory to maintain signal integrity and prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from disrupting the control system.

• Software Licensing: Ensure all necessary software tools and runtime licenses are correctly acquired and managed for continuous, compliant operation.

Product Applications

Programmable Controllers are the backbone of automated control worldwide:

• Manufacturing Automation: Controlling and coordinating processes in assembly lines, machining, and material handling systems (e.g., automotive, electronics).

• Process Control: Regulating continuous and batch processes in industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and oil & gas.

• Motion and Robotics: Providing precise, synchronized control for robotics, packaging machines, printing presses, and sophisticated machine tools.

• Utilities and Infrastructure: Managing power distribution, water treatment plants, pumping stations, and intelligent transportation systems.

• Building Management: Controlling complex HVAC systems, fire safety, and access control within commercial and industrial facilities.
