Use our guide to choose the right controller for your application.<\/p>\n
Where do you want to install your controller? Find the right solution for every installation enviroment.<\/p>\n
The controller is installed centrally in the control cabinet. Ideal for classic machine concepts with protected environments and centralized wiring.<\/p>\n
The controller is installed decentrally but still within the control cabinet environment. Suitable for compact machine concepts with limited space and modular design.<\/p>\n
The controller is installed outside the traditional control cabinet, close to the machine. Ideal for robust decentralized automation concepts directly in the field.<\/p>\n
What kind of performance does your application require?<\/p>\n
For simple to mid\u2011range automation tasks (~up to 200 central I\/Os) requiring a compact design, integrated functionality, and cost\u2011efficient engineering.<\/p>\n
For demanding applications involving large quantity structures, complex processes, or advanced technological requirements.<\/p>\n
What programming languages should it support?<\/p>\n
Support for core programming languages in TIA Portal. Suitable for classic automation tasks using Function Block Diagram (FBD), Ladder Diagram (LAD), or Structured Control Language (SCL).<\/p>\n
In addition to FBD, LAD, and SCL, STL and GRAPH are also supported. Suitable for applications with sequential processes or existing STL code.<\/p>\n
Additional support for high-level languages to implement complex automation tasks and specialized algorithms in industrial applications.<\/p>\n
Which motion control functions do you require?<\/p>\n
For basic motion functions such as speed control, positioning, cam functions, measuring probes, and gear synchronization. Ideal for standard motion tasks in typical machines and classic automation systems.<\/p>\n
For extended motion applications, including camming or simple kinematics with up to 4 motion axis. Suitable for machines requiring more complex motion sequences.<\/p>\n
For demanding motion control tasks involving cross\u2011CPU synchronization or advanced kinematics with up to 6 motion axis kinematics. Ideal for highly dynamic machines and complex, precision\u2011driven motion applications.<\/p>\n
Do you want to use hardware- or software-based control?<\/p>\n
Classic automation using a dedicated hardware PLC. The control system runs on specially developed controller hardware and provides high reliability, performance, and industrial robustness.<\/p>\n
The control functions are integrated directly into the drive. Suitable for compact machine concepts with reduced hardware and tight integration of motion and control functions.<\/p>\n
The control system runs as software on an industrial PC. Suitable for flexible automation concepts with high computing performance and integration of IT and automation functions.<\/p>\n
