Industrial Controls

For the operation, programming and commissioning of the HMI controls and programmable gateways, we offer a selection of different accessories. These include memory cards and programming or service cables in a variety of versions. In addition to standard USB cables and extensions, also an active USB extension is available to bridge larger distances.

The programmable gateways of the BL20 (IP20) and BL67 (IP67) I/O systems can be used as autonomous PLCs for control tasks or as network devices for fast signal preprocessing in the periphery. For this, the gateways have a fieldbus interface for PROFINET, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP™ or PROFIBUS-DP; in addition the gateways support standard Ethernet and serial communication. The extension modules communicate via the internal module bus with the gateway and can be configured independently of the fieldbus protocol.

The HMI controls of the TX500 product series have high-quality displays with brilliant graphics, resistive touch, and a modern processor. They are ideal for use in small to medium-sized machines, whose processes must be controlled, operated, and observed locally. The CODESYS 3 control of the TX500 has the functions PROFINET controller, EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus TCP as well as Modbus RTU Master. When used with Modbus protocols, the HMIs can also be operated as slaves. For visualization the CODESYS 3 target is used.
