PC-based control technology

Our panel PCs are equipped with powerful components and based on open standards from the automation and IT world.  As control units, they not only satisfy demanding real-time requirements for calculation-intensive applications, but can also take on other tasks such as visualization and IT connectivity.

The b maXX Panel PC has an integrated EtherCAT master, which meets all current requirements for information transfer within the automation system.
