ControlEdge PCD provides numerous features to suit a wide range of automation needs, such as:
Powerful and Efficient Engineering: high-level language programming in accordance with IEC 61131-3 provides greater flexibility. It allows access to a large community of developers whose published solutions can be reused with greater ease.
Cyber Security: based on the industrial automation standard ANSI ISA 62443 (SL 3/SL 4), its built-in security features ensure a secure connection to the Internet and Cloud, all the while encrypting the transfer and storage of data. Furthermore, it relies on modern role-based user management.
Multi-protocol support in a single controller: easy and seamless system integration of up to 14 communication interfaces. Users have full freedom to combine various protocols via Ethernet and serial ports – such as OPC-UA, Web/IT protocols (E-Mail, SMS, HTTPs, MQTT), Modbus, and Profinet. Users can also integrate custom specific protocols by the application program.
Encryption keeps your data safe: supports Micro SD cards up to 32GB, providing large storage for user data such as trend logs, alarm and event history, as well as any other information generated during operation. The encrypted file system protects the data against unauthorized access.
PCD3 IO System: modular pluggable PCD3 IO family with a range of signal support such as Digital inputs (Low Voltage 24/48V DC, High voltage 110V/ 230VAC), Digital Outputs (24V DC, relays), mix DI/DO, fast counters, Analog inputs (mA, V, RTD, Thermocouple), Analog output (mA, V) and also an IO simulation unit.
