    The controller has a modular hardware platform that allows it to expand, module by module, saving space in the control cabinet while providing flexibility for future expansion. In addition, its “fast shut-off” feature speeds response time and reduces the overall footprint of the machine or process.

    The controller also offers enhanced functional interface (EFI) integration as well as Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET, CANopen, Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP network communication capabilities.

    The “Flexi Soft Designer” free software offers diagnostics, simulation, error history and online monitoring for the controller and can be downloaded here.
