Video: Economical Control Solution For Real-time Communication

As the youngest member, Indra Control XM12 complements the Indra Control XM product family in the lower performance range. This is based on modern processor technology and high power density. The scaled firmware serves different applications with a highly functional PLC kernel and accelerates the engineering with numerous already programmed technology functions.
Programming in high-level languages
Communication and programming are based entirely on open standards, which ensures easy integration into networked structures. Real-time communication with connected peripherals takes place via the on-board Sercos master or alternatively via EtherNet / IP or ProfiNet RT master. Beyond PLC automation with Codesys V3, Bosch Rexroth is also building the bridge to the IT / IoT world with the Indra Control XM12 with the software technology Open Core Engineering. Users can program individual functions in high-level languages such as C / C ++, Java and Lua and thus access core functions of the controller in parallel and independently of the PLC. In addition, the Gigabit Ethernet interface exchanges large amounts of data at high speed with higher-level systems.The additional hardware components otherwise required for this and the corresponding interfaces to the machine control can be omitted.
With modular, expandable hardware modules such as the fast I / O family Indra Control S20, machine manufacturers can easily adapt the control system to their requirements. The control hardware is maintenance-free due to the absence of wear parts such as fans and batteries. An SD card slot and a diagnostic LED reduce the effort for commissioning. The extended operating temperature range extends from -25 ° C to 60 ° C. (jv)
