By using the integrated floating-point unit for quickly processing floating point numbers, the ILC 190 ETH 2TX controller from Phoenix Contact can handle fast closed-loop controls and basic motion applications. Due to its 1 MB program memory, it can also be used for large applications.
The controller has an integrated Ethernet interface and supports many communication protocols used in the IT environment. These include http, FTP, SMTP, SNTP, OPC, ODP, SNMP and SQL. These are either directly integrated in the device, or can be integrated by simple installation of the associated library in the PC Worx programming environment. Phoenix Contact provides the PC Worx Express software at no charge so that users have the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the programming. This software is also suitable for programming the controller.
