Key Features of Peripheral Device Programmable Logic Controllers

• Powerful processors and highly flexible I/O technology allow the new programmable controllers to be used in virtually any application.
• The configuration tool, developed in accordance with IEC 61131-3, with its extensive functionalities reduces configuration effort over and over again.
• The CS31 system bus, a system which has proven successful for many years now, guarantees optimum and reliable integration of local intelligence and peripheral devices.
• Bus repeaters make it possible to span even large distances. An additional, redundant or ring structure enhances reliability of the transmission medium.
• Peripheral devices with high packing density or as a finely graded, expansible variant provide maximum possible flexibility. This is assisted, not least, by the digital and analogue input/output devices with freely selectable and configurable signal specifications.
• Advant Controller 31 provides powerful and system-open communication levels for integration in overall processes.
• Diverse transmission media - conventional copper, convenient and particularly reliable fibre-optics or modem - ensure that can make the right choice for any requirement.
• Advant Controller 31 even allows redundant bus topologies.
• A broad range of devices for display, operation and process visualisation, such as the Wizcon visualisation package, opens up new roads into the future.
