Flexible solution design options

The modular architecture of the AMC 300 allows you to use it for compact,

flexible, and service-friendly solutions – from simple plug-and-play rack

modules to cabling with pluggable connectors. Its native EtherCAT fieldbus

supports several hundreds of I/O points through a modular concept with

distributed nodes based on EtherCAT and supporting EtherCAT cable redundancy.

As a result, you have complete freedom to place multiple I/O nodes in different

physical locations to reduce cabling, and the built-in 5-port switch of the PCM3.1

module can be configured with individual VLANs, saving the cost of external equipment.

The fully open Linux software platform gives you full access to system setup,

and you can take advantage of the great amounts of Linux documentation

and support available online. The controller is based on CODESYS V3 and

supports IEC 61131-3 programming.

This ensures easy programming and configuration,and you can easily

reuse existing PLC code if converting from other PLC solutions,

giving you complete freedom to choose your preferred hardware vendor.

You can configure the AMC 300 remotely using a browser.

The device is discoverable using its host name, and remote visualisation is possible via TCP/IP.

Despite these flexible hardware and software options, installing the AMC 300 is very easy:

It comes pre-assembled in racks according to your configuration requirements.

You do not have to assemble the controller yourself and can complete your

sourcing process without assembly and testing.
