March 24, 2008 - Hoffman Estates, IL – Bosch Rexroth has expanded its line of IndraLogic PLCs and PACs with the new IndraControl L10 PLC featuring scalable hardware, pre-developed machine functions, reusable code and unified programming software to reduce engineering time for machine builders who work with complex machines.
Ideal for general automation, printing, converting, packaging, machine tool and other industries, the OPC-compliant IndraControl L10 also features a full megabyte of program storage space along with an Ethernet port for remote access or SCADA functionality at one of the lowest prices in the market. The sizeable memory allows machine builders to run larger and more complex programs or different applications without the need for multiple PLCs.
To save valuable engineering time, the IndraControl L10 comes with dozens of PLCopen machine functions that are pre-programmed according to IEC61131-3 standards. Rexroth also offers scalable hardware allowing machine builders to re-use their programs on more powerful Rexroth PLCs without requiring different configurations or multiple versions. All Rexroth PLCs, including the IndraControl L10 can also be programmed with the same Rexroth IndraWorks unified software program, alleviating the need for a separate program for each PLC model across the family.
To save memory space and help improve scan time, Rexroth’s PLC incorporates reusable code, a feature normally found on larger PLCs. As a result, the IndraControl L10 has a scan rate which is approximately 20 times faster than comparable PLCs currently on the market.
In addition to reducing engineering time and improving processing speed, the IndraControl L10 features expandability of up to 256 I/O, allowing OEMs to run complex machines without having to stack up more PLCs.
Bosch Rexroth AG, part of the Bosch Group, achieved sales of approximately $6.2 billion (4.9 billion Euro) in 2006 with over 29,800 employees. Under the brand name of Rexroth the company offers all drive and control technologies, from mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics to electronics and associated service. Over 500,000 customers worldwide utilize Rexroth’s unique technological know-how to implement their innovative and future-oriented systems and machine concepts. The global player, represented in over 80 countries, is an extensive supplier of components and systems for industrial and factory automation and mobile applications.
