PLCs, DCSs & Controllers


Two separate PLCs in one

Africa Automation Fair 2017 Preview PLCs, DCSs & Controllers

The new SmartPLC from ifm electronic combines two separate PLCs in one compact housing. One PLC solves safety-related applications and the second either works as a standard PLC or as a platform for other tasks. Both PLCs communicate with each other, so that entire plant controls can be implemented with only one SmartPLC. Visit Stand D1-D6 for more information on this new ifm product.
