CP450C Ethernet Connection Devices

In order to minimise the cost of the CP450C, a 5 “x3.5” printed circuit board houses both the PLC and a front panel. The front panel can be a touch screen or an LED+LCD based switch. This single board PLC+HMI is capable of controlling smaller machines, while larger and more complex machines may require expansion boards. Options for internet connectivity and other special features are provided. Turn key services including programming and system integration are available. Products are priced very high for use in small and large production lines.

Users can even reuse most (and many) of the existing logic and programming documentation and use the software company’s automated application conversion tools. A smart software or smart gateway can support any mix of DH+, Rio Master, Rio Slave on (2) channels simultaneously. Future upgrades to the controller CPU and low-cost migration paths for communication networks and I/O can be supported. Users can even reuse most (and many times) existing logic and programme documentation and use the software company’s automated application conversion tools.

The CP450C eliminates the use of intermediate PC technology to achieve this connection, thus reducing installation, maintenance and safety issues while shortening long system integration cycles. Using this device in combination with the new SIMATICCP343-1ERPC from the S7 family, users can process data and send it to a variety of external systems. In addition to simple systems such as e-mail servers, these include databases, messaging and queuing systems such as Oracle’s Manufacturing Operations Centre and IBM’s Network Ball System. Devices are becoming a power tool in the systems integrator market, allowing for difficult device aggregation.
