Kendrion is launching a new control set: the FIO Controller 111 and the Vico 04 HMI. This well-synchronized control combination harmonizes excellently and provides machine manufacturers with a practical solution that merges flexibility and ease of use.
The FIO Controller 111 is an innovative, budget-friendly PLC utilizing ARM technology, noteworthy for its modular design. Through the E-bus connection, the controller can be extended with EtherCAT I/O modules, allowing for optimal customization to particular needs. Programming is carried out through CODESYS V3, a well-known industry standard that allows for seamless integration into current infrastructures.
To ensure optimal flexibility, the FIO Controller 111 comes with an extensive array of communication interfaces, such as Industrial Ethernet, CAN, RS485, and EtherCAT. Moreover, more communication channels can be established by utilizing extra interface and bus modules. A built-in µSD card enables local storage of process data and the transfer of control programs, making it suitable for various applications.
These characteristics render the FIO Controller 111 a versatile and robust option for contemporary control systems. The latest controller establishes fresh benchmarks in automation technology through its wide array of integrated analog and digital inputs and outputs. Due to the inventive plug-and-play setup, various specialized functions like A/B/Ref encoder inputs, event counters, PWM channels, or two PTO axis interfaces can be effortlessly and adaptably executed.
The reliable Vico 04 HMI is a perfect addition to the controller. Thanks to its CODESYS HMI feature and contemporary web visualization, it allows for intuitive management – without needing extra software. Simultaneously, the panel eases the controller’s workload by assuming full visualization responsibilities and thereby enhancing system performance.
Furthermore, the Vico 04 HMI stands out with its sturdy build and diverse usage options in industrial settings. It is offered in three display sizes – 4.3“, 7” and 10.4” – providing the suitable solution for various application needs. The plastic front panel featuring a black inlay is perfectly sealed to protect against dust, dirt, and splashes, ensuring dependable performance even in challenging environments. Flexible interfaces like Ethernet, RS-232, and USB can be integrated into current systems. Visualization relies on CODESYS V3 HMI, the established benchmark for contemporary user interfaces, allowing for intuitive management and straightforward integration.
Equipped with these features, the Vico 04 HMI provides not only exceptional user-friendliness but also the durability and adaptability that are crucial in industrial settings.
