Embedded Automation Device

C6 COMPACT 3

The C6 COMPACT 3 is the right choice for automating applications with low to medium complexity. Its concept is based on a Linux operating system and offers an open microservice architecture. The container-based technology allows various software functions to be integrated and organised. The system is future-proof thanks to the use of the latest industrial technology – for long-term availability. The real-time-capable controller is programmable via IEC 61131 and enables synchronised and coordinated movement of machines via the existing EtherCAT master.


FUNCTIONAL AND COST-EFFECTIVE

Besides the actual machine automation, the C6 COMPACT 3 can also be used to perform various tasks. For example, it can act as a gateway between a higher-level control system and a programmable control system with KEB’s Motion function. Among other things, an OPC UA server (in future also TSN) acts as an interface. The control system can also be used as an HMI server device. It communicates with one or more third party systems and enables browsers to make the contents available via an HMI server. The COMPACT 3 microservice architecture ensures simple integration of various software components.

 

Highlights

  • Low-cost control
  • Real-time motion control
  • Gateway, IIoT/edge device, HMI server
  • Linux-based, open microservice architecture
