hook – no additional tools required. This simplifies installation and enables

the rapid replacement of individual modules. To get the system operational,

all you need to do is to plug the cables into the push-in connector.

Our ultra-compact, slice-based XN300 I/O system with push-in connectors

and high connection density can be used as a local I/O level for the Eaton

XC300 PLC or, via gateways, as a remote I/O level in CAN and EtherCAT networks.

In combination with our HMI/PLC products, it enables modern automation solutions

for the production of standard machines. Various models and the application-oriented

functions of the I/O modules increase flexibility, reduce equipment costs and enable

customized system solutions while keeping the footprint to a minimum.

The user-friendly installation of the cutting-edge I/O slices simplifies handling

and enables the I/O block and the sensors and actuators to be pre-assembled.

The plug-in connections and the clear signal assignment simplify commissioning

and extend the functionality of the system, enabling it to meet the specific

requirements of the machine-building sector.

The powerful XC300 PLC for modular automation

systems is available in three different versions featuring

up to three Ethernet interfaces on board.

The XC300 modular PLC range from Eaton’s

XControlTM portfolio enables machine builders

and system integrators to bring streamlined,

modern automation concepts to life.

The controller features different interfaces (Ethernet, CAN)

as well as integrated I/Os. In conjunction with the

XN300 I/O system, which can be both local or

remote, this supports the creation of compact

systems. The innovative XV300 touch panel

completes the system offering enabling modern,

networked automation solution.

A universal and flexible data transfer system

Thanks to its various interfaces, the controller is ideal

for use as a universal and flexible data node in a wide

range of applications. The integrated OPC server for

standardized data transmission in machine-to-machine

communication enables seamless integration into the

automation architecture and creates an easy path towards

Industry 4.0. And the integrated HTML5 web server

offers remote visualization on mobile devices such as

PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Communication is its strength

The XC300 PLC integrates seamlessly into existing automation solutions and

also enables new, innovative machine and system concepts based on

Industry 4.0. User administration, segmentation, encryption and certificate-based

authentication based on current standards in communication and security technology

(TLS/IPSec) protect against unauthorized access to the machine and manipulation

of the user program. The device also supports CODESYS visualization via the

HTML 5 WEB server (https) and password-protected access to the file system (sftp).

The OPC-UA server for M2M communication for remote operation and maintenance

complements the communication profile for the perfect entry into the world of industry 4.0.

Comprehensive functions and interfaces

The three device variants of the XC300 have up to three independent

Ethernet interfaces for operation in different networks.

In addition, the RS485 and 2xCAN interfaces as well as 4xI/O channels

with their own power supply complement the functions for using the

device as a universal control and communication point.

Compact automation concepts

Combining the devices with the I/O systems from the XN300 range allows

user to create tailor-made solutions while keeping the footprint to a minimum.

Both the XC300 devices and the XN300 modules feature an attractive,

uniform design, which can be combined with Eaton’s innovative XV300

touch panels to implement powerful, state-of-the-art automation concepts.

The connection between the XC300 controller and the XN300 system can be

implemented locally or remotely.
