Embedded Controllers

July 1, 2005
Development of the S-Max VLC and ILC 350 VLC embedded controller platforms was focused around the idea of combining the best of the PLC world with the best of the PC world.

Both provide powerful control features and easy Steeplechase VLC flow-chart programming, and both combine secure PLC control functions with PC-based performance, capacity and connectivity options to a degree previously not available, says the vendor. HMI software options for the S-Max and the industrial PCs include Citect HMI and Iconics MachineWorX. For applications requiring local I/O expansion options, the blind-node ILC 350 offers direct connection to the vendor’s modular Inline I/O system. The integrated Ethernet port supports multiple protocols such as Modbus TCP or Ethernet IP. The S-Max PLC goes a step further and combines the functions of a PLC and a color touch screen operator panel in a single unit, allowing easy programming of complex control tasks and user friendly display of color graphics and machine information.
