Wide range of intelligent I/Os, standard interfaces and libraries

Scalable control stations

MR Series control stations are conveniently

set up according to project needs and are made

up of modular controllers and I/Os. Depending on

the scope of the automation task, the controller

is extended with I/O modules or communication interfaces.

The controllers are connected via the control

network to ensure reliable, high speed and

system wide real-time signal exchange with

other control stations, with S+ Operations,

with system level applications and with

S+ Engineering for Melody.

Each node on the control network operates

autonomously. Acting as its own communication

manager, the system requires no traffic directors.

The controller’s associated I/O modules are

connected using the high-speed redundant serial

field network or PROFIBUS DP (DPV1 as well as DPV2).
