Until now, Refu drives have been little used outside Germany. Now the company is part of Rexroth Indramat, that is set to change.
The IndraLogic L10 from Rexroth comes with 1Mbyte of program memory, 2Mbyte data memory and 32kbyte residual memory and its processing time is 150us (1000 instruction list commands).
That means that its resources are sufficient for implementation of small and medium PLC applications in factory automation.
An Ethernet interface, eight isolated digital inputs and four isolated digital outputs are integrated onboard.

Since Rexroth focuses on compatibility with the entire IndraControl L control platform, I/O expansion is easy and flexible.
In addition, installation costs for Rexroth's IndraControl L20 are reduced significantly because of simple DIN-rail mounting and flexible multilead connection technology.
The web-based IndraControl L20 service tool provided by Rexroth offers online debugging and monitoring of the system with offline simulation and integrated displays ease diagnostics.
As is the case with Rexroth's large IndraLogic L20 system, firmware and application data are filed to a removable Compact Flash card.
Rexroth's Engineering-Framework IndraWorks supports all of the programming languages defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard, including Instruction List, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, Function Block Diagram, Ladder Diagram and Continuous Function Chart.
As with all of Rexroth's IndraLogic L systems, IndraLogic L10's function module library conforms to PLCopen (V01).
During February and March of 2008, Bosch Rexroth will be holding a number of machine automation training days throughout the UK and Ireland.
Aimed at those that design or build industrial machines, the machine automation training days will demonstrate how to reduce costs, reduce risk and simplify machine automation.
Each attendee will receive a complimentary IEC 61131 PLC starter pack from Rexroth.
Hardware contained within the pack includes Rexroth's IndraLogic L10 compact PLC with integrated Ethernet interface and IndraLogic IO 16/16 input module and output module.
This is bundled with Rexroth's IndraWorks IEC 61131-3 programming package, along with WinStudio to create a complete Scada/HMI solution.
The Machine Automation Training Days will be held at Bosch Rexroth sites in Cardiff, Cirencester, Bradford and St Neots, as well as additional locations in Livingston and Portlaoise, Ireland at no cost.
