Eaton - Maximum functionality on a minimal footprint: new generation of XC204 modular PLCs
For small and medium-sized applications
Eaton's new generation of XC204 modular PLCs offers maximum functionality on a minimal footprint of 104 x 29 x 80 mm. The PLC is a flexible solution for standard automation tasks such as control and regulation functions. It comes into its own perfectly in small to medium-sized applications in serial machine and system construction. Different versions of the XC204 ensure that every machine or process automation engineer is assured of a suitable solution for his or her specific challenge.
Key specifications:
- Programmable with CODESYS 3
- 100 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces with own network adapter, standard serial interfaces, USB host, 2 digital inputs/outputs
- Modbus TCP client/server, OPC-UA server, Ethernet IP, EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus RTU, RS485
- Remote web visualisation thanks to HTML5 standard
- Pluggable connections (Push-in & Plug-in)
- Compact design, tool-free mounting
The local I/O of the XC-204 can be expanded up to 16 I/O modules of the modular XN300 system. Separate Ethernet interfaces and additional standard serial interfaces allow use in different system architectures. As a result, the XC200 acts as the universal control and communication point within a networked system. External I/O units (XN300) and third-party devices can be easily integrated.
The XC204 is designed according to Eaton's 'secure-by-design' concept. Eaton implements the latest technology standards in communication and security.
