The CANopen Controller combines control functionality, I/O interface and fieldbus in one device. Application programming is IEC 61131-3 compliant. The programmer can access all fieldbus and I/O data. Features and applications: Central control system is assisted by decentralized processing units Devide complex applications into individually testable units Programmable fault response in the event of fieldbus failure Signal pre-processing reduces fieldbus transmissions Peripheral equipment can be controlled directly, resulting in faster system response times (without any “detour” over the CANopen fieldbus system) Compact, self-sufficient controller The device is ideal for operation in extreme environments thanks to: An extended temperature range Greater immunity to impulse voltages and electromagnetic interference Higher vibration and shock resistance
