Inline controller
ILC 200 UNI transforms every Inline station into a distributed functional unit. ILC 200 UNI is installed below an Inline bus coupler (INTERBUS, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet™, Ethernet...). It then controls all the signals of the Inline station in every fieldbus system. This ensures maximum independence from the higher-level fieldbus system.
The functions which can be executed on ILC 200 UNI range from emergency operation functions in the event of a failure of the higher-level fieldbus, to redundancy functions and process data preprocessing, through to the distributed functional unit.
Plant engineering with its constantly changing customer requirements regarding both the fieldbus system and centralized control systems is the main field of application. ILC 200 UNI makes it possible to use identical functional units even when the higher-level fieldbus changes. This saves costs during plant engineering and at startup.
Direct fast inputs and outputs which can be used flexibly in different operating modes such as interrupt input, event counting and pulse generation ensure short response times on site.
All programming of the Inline controller is carried out with PC WORX, the automation software according to IEC 61131.
