Wide range of protocols supported

By default, the iE 650 PLC uses the EtherCAT protocol, providing support for several hundreds of I/O

points and letting you place multiple I/O nodes in different physical locations to reduce cabling.

You get the same update speed for local and distributed I/Os, and the modules are designed

to support EtherCAT cycles as fast as 1 ms.

Additionally, the iE 650 PLC supports several different protocols for example PROFINET, MODBUS

TCP/RTU,

OPC UA and even HTTPS/WSS for Cloud connectivity, giving you the freedom to easily design

a new solution or integrate the iE 650 PLC in an existing one.

Compact size reduces space requirements

The iE 650 PLC is a compact controller that reduces space requirements in your control cabinets.

With a rack height of just 122 mm, it fits the de facto PLC standard, and the depth is only

114 mm (130 mm with connectors). The I/O modules of the iE 650 PLC are also high-density,

reducing the required cabinet backplane footprint to 1.2 cm2 per digital I/O channel.
