Programmable Linux®-based Automation Controllers (PLC/PAC)

Our AMC 300, AWC 500, and AMC 600 controllers are open, programmable Linux®-based controllers suitable for a wide range of power control applications, even in harsh operating environments.

They can be used in a wide range of operating temperatures, and they can withstand severe mechanical and electrical disturbances, for example 50 g shock. These and other factors give them a life expectancy of at least 10 years (at 40°C reference temperature) so you make the most of your investment and save on service costs.

All controllers use EtherCAT as their native communication protocol but come with great flexibility. They allow you to use OPC UA, CAN/CANopen, J1939, Modbus TCP/RTU, Profibus DP, and PROFINET for integration with other systems. Additionally, you get support for internet data exchange with secure HTTPS/WSS/JSON interfaces.

PLC

The AMC 300 controller is based on our proven Multi-line 300 platform, allowing you to program resilient solutions for marine and offshore applications in CODESYS V3 with native EtherCAT access. It features the cyber-secure Linux-based operating system BSP v4. It integrates perfectly with its sister products PPU 300 and PPM 300 that provide standard applications for generator synchronisation and power management

The AWC 500 is our 5^th generation control system for use as a robust and reliable embedded controller or PLC for energy generation units or distributed power plants operating in demanding climate conditions, such as wind turbines. Its core technologies build on our Linux®-based operating system OSv3, CODESYS V3 and features high-density EtherCAT based I/O modules powered by a 1GHz Dual Core CPU module.

The AMC 600 is our 6^th generation control system for land and wind power control applications, with even higher electrical protection levels for mobile or stationary installations. Its modular, service-friendly design and extensive control and customisation options offer great performance and flexibility with up to 12 high-density EtherCAT based I/O modules per controller rack. With a rack height of just 122 mm and a depth of only 138 mm, it delivers great processing power while reducing cabinet space requirements. This new platform integrates perfectly with the AWC 500.

Designed with connectivity at its core, the IE 250 PLC is your gateway to seamless integration. With configurable I/O ports and robust Ethernet, CAN bus, and RS-485 communication capabilities, unleash your creativity to engineer integrated control systems for any present or future assets. With the IE 250 PLC, connectivity knows no bounds, offering limitless possibilities for your control needs.

The modular architecture of the iE 350 PLC 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.
