Product Showcase: Controllers - PC-Based

Find PC Based Controllers, Open Architecture Controllers, software and related products offered by manufacturers for industrial factory automation and plant process control applications.

		Beckhoff's Powerful, DIN rail-mountable CX1020 Embedded PC Has 1 GHz Processor for EtherCAT master with sub-millisecond I/O response times. High performance in an ultra-compact design – the CX1020 is one of the newest entries into the family of Beckhoff Embedded PCs. In addition to CPU performance that is several times more powerful than that of previous CX controller models, the CX1020 features a direct connection for EtherCAT I/O Terminals.

		National Instruments Industrial PC-Based PAC Platform National Instruments offers open PC-based hardware and software that support both NI and third-party hardware platforms. Industrial PCs offer a good platform to deploy a wide range of analog, digital, motion, vision, and reconfigurable I/O (RIO) applications.

		Siemens SIMATIC Microbox 420-T Technology controllers: A combination of PLC and motion control functionalities. Mechanical and plant engineers are increasingly challenged to offer more flexible and more productive machines despite high price pressures. To facilitate mechatronic solutions, technology functions focusing on motion control are being implemented to a great extent in automation systems, drive systems as well as in PCs.

		AutomationDirect Think & Do version 8: Advanced PC-Based Control for Automated Manufacturing Systems Think & Do is an advanced control platform to develop, deploy and operate automated manufacturing and material handling systems. It integrates flowchart logic, an HMI package, SQL interface, a common HMI database, and logic, motion, vision and PID process control. Features include powerful drawing/animation tools with real-time and historical trending and alarming.

		AutomationDirect WinPLC - A Hybrid PC/ PLC Industrial Controls Solution The WinPLC is a revolutionary product that brings the best of the PC controls and the PLC world to a common platform.

		PLC Control with PC Features - Combine the flexibility of a PC with the ruggedness of a PLC The IPC is a cost-effective industrial compact PC solution for real time control applications. In spite of its small size, the IPC integrates all standard PC functions, including network and fieldbus interfaces, for local and remote control applications.

		Opto 22 SNAP PAC Programmable Automation Controllers Programmable automation controllers (PACs) give you the best of both the PLC and PC worlds: PACs blend the PLC’s high performance and I/O capabilities with the flexible configuration and enterprise integration strengths of PCs.

		In-Chassis Protocol Communication Modules for Rockwell Automation & Schneider Electric Processors ProSoft Technology offers an extensive inventory of in-chassis modules for industrial automation applications using Allen-Bradley and Schneider Electric processors. These in-rack devices communicate over the backplane to interface the respective networks with any of over 60 protocols (both client to server and master to slave). ProSoft’s protocol and network connectivity modules include inRAx for Rockwell Automation and ProTalk for Schneider Electric. These devices are designed to connect to a number of networks, including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and DCS systems (Dedicated Control System).

		ProLinx Stand-Alone Gateways Offer Wireless and Multi-Port Serial and Ethernet Solutions ProSoft Technology’s ProLinx line of stand-alone protocol gateways are specially developed as inter-network communication solutions for industrial automation applications. These gateways function to bridge the gap between dissimilar protocols, controllers, and networks and are used for both Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS). With over 60 protocols, ProSoft Technology can be the ideal solution for any application looking to create a scalable, efficient network.

		Easy upgrades of Allen-Bradley PLC Systems If you have an Allen-Bradley SLC-500, PLC-5, MicroLogix, PLC-2, 1774 PLC or PLC-3 system, you can convert your existing logic and documentation to run in a SoftPLC based system, saving you untold re-engineering costs! If you are working on a system upgrade, you can most likely keep the existing I/O, communication network, and HMI/SCADA/DCS system as well!
