Compared with conventional systems, there are further significant characteristics in its performance profile. Its most distinctive features are: metal instead of plastic casing; a non-proprietary operating system (Real-Time Linux); its integration capabilities in IT infrastructures; local programming without additional engineering tools; its DIN-rail design; and its size which is 25% smaller than conventional control systems. Various digital interfaces (Ethernet, CAN, Seriell, USB) facilitate use in Industry 4.0 applications.
MicroControl will be exhibiting from Stand 301 in Hall 2.
