The Weidmuller M-Series M4000 programmable automation controller (PAC) expands traditional PLC capabilities by integrating real-time control, IT and OT convergence and edge computing in a single device. The M4000 is designed to handle complex industrial automation tasks with multi-core processing, expanded memory and ultra-fast data handling. Unlike traditional PLCs, the M4000 features an open, factory-installed operating system, delivering IIoT-ready functionality for modern automation environments. Setup is done with universal USB-C connectivity, up to four Ethernet ports, and Weidmuller’s u-OS with Codesys compatibility, ensuring a plug-and-play experience. With tools like the App Manager, users can access ProCon-Web and Codesys, as well as programming environments like Python and C++.
