1771-IFE Configurable Flowmeter module

1771-IFE is that it can be a key component of the solution, not just an add-on that handles communications.Built for a specific purpose: The intuitive interface is designed for automation engineers, rather than trying to use a source code repository for software developers. Every aspect of the product has been tailored to maintain unique intellectual property within the automation layer. Scalable: more programmes, equipment modules and functions can be easily added as the plant’s needs grow.

1771-IFE provides time-deterministic control of automated processes with high performance, ease of development, rugged construction, intelligent management of ultra-small form factors, and the lowest total cost of ownership. Integrated hardware and software elements, fast and easy API configuration, and the Sofotion control kernel drive fast high performance in EtherCAT applications. Numerous ready-to-use features also accelerate the development of next-generation smart factory environments.

1771-IFE offers Gigabit bandwidth, so it can provide solutions for the data-intensive applications of Industry 4.0. In addition, it offers Ethernet-based I/O, safety, and motion control integration over a single cable. The communication provides control while processing non-control related data such as quality and traceability information.
