It allows you to take full advantage of the control platform: use of your favorite programming language and programming environment, use of open source software, applications, Proficloud and soon also PLCnext Store with real-time execution.
The system includes a high-performance Intel i5 Dual Core processor and 4 GB of RAM. Security-relevant calculations are performed on two independent CPUs based on different architectures. Therefore, it is suitable for applications with high security requirements, meeting SIL3 security integrity level, equivalent to PLe.
For use in Profinet and Profisafe systems, the safety-oriented control system uses the current Profisafe 2.61 profile. In the Profisafe network, it acts as an F-Host and allows control of up to 300 lower-level F-type devices. Standard and safety programming are combined with the PLCnext Engineer software into a single tool.
