4 The Controller-based Automation system
Central control technology becomes more and more important in the field of automation
technology. Due to their scaling options and various combinations of visualisation and control on
one device, Industrial PCs provide clear advantages for many applications.
The Controllers are available with the following software programs:
• Controllers as control system
• Controllers as visualisation system (depending on the model, an additional panel may be
required)
• Controllers as component, optionally with operating system, without any further software
The Controller-based Automation system enables the central control of Logic and Motion systems.
