As well as facilitating the exchange of data between industrial control systems and cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and AnyViz, the new edgeController from ifm electronic<\/a><\/strong> also provides freely programmable control functionality and versatile visualisation options in a single compact unit. It, therefore, offers a complete and flexible solution for the digitisation of machines and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new edgeController incorporates a high-resolution, high-brightness 12.3-inch colour touchscreen display partnered with a powerful 64-bit 1.2GHz quad-core processor which delivers full performance at ambient temperatures as high as 60 \u00baC. A further important benefit is that it can be used in almost all industrial applications without the need for additional protection as it features a robust diecast aluminium housing with an IP65 ingress protection rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug-and-play access to plant or machine I\/O data in real-time is supported via industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet\/IP and Modbus TCP. Control functions are programmed using CODESYS V3.5, or the unit can be used as a platform for pre-defined functions which means that no programming is necessary. A real-time clock with battery back-up is incorporated and, to maximise data security, the unit complies with the requirements of BSI and IEC 62443-4-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ease of connection, the edgeController offers two USB and two Ethernet interfaces. The Ethernet interfaces support 10Base-T and 100Base-TX transmission standards with TCP\/IP, TCP\/IP JSON, UDP and HTTP protocols, while the USB interfaces support the USB 2.0 standard with data transmission rates up to 480Mbit\/s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
