Combines industry PC and classical PLC control unit on shared hardware
With the control platform b maXX PLC, Baumüller combines the features of industry PCs and PLC control units, thereby optimally covering the space between these existing solutions. b maXX PLC is available in two versions: The b maXX PLC mc controls motion-control applications and can be rapidly and easily deployed for high-performance automation tasks thanks to the comprehensive Baumüller technology libraries. The Industry 4.0 variant b maXX PLC IoT extends the Baumüller control unit with extensive IoT functionalities. This makes it the ideal solution for networking machines and machine modules right down to individual automation components. Both versions are available in the same version and have a IEC-61131-3 environment in realizing sophisticated control tasks. Compact control unit with high power reserves
Ultra-compact and powerful
The system offers easy handling with dimensions of 110 x 90 x 35 mm and thus is far more compact than the previous control solution. The b maXX PLC mc is based on an Intel CPU system, can be used universally for almost any automation task, and can be mounted flexibly. It takes up minimal space in the control cabinet and is suitable for top-hat rail mounting. The b maXX PLC mc also boasts very good performance with highly synchronous real-time tasks. This allows the implementation of complex applications with the highest performance requirements.
