Controller offers easy setup

Telemecanique's Modiconm340 controller provides a complete control solution for machine manufacturers, system integrators and end users.

A compact and rugged programmable controller has been released by Telemecanique, a brand of Schneider Electric.

The Modiconm340 it is configured using Schneider Electric's Unity Pro easy to use software.

It also complements the established Modicon Premium and Quantum Unity automation controller families, providing a complete control solution for machine manufacturers, system integrators and end users.

The Modiconm340 can trace its roots back to the very first programmable logic controller introduced by Modicon over 35 years ago.

Like its predecessors, the new Modiconm340 continues the tradition of introducing innovative automation technology.

It offers high-performance, multi-tasked processing and support for all five of the IEC61131/3 programming languages.

The processor incorporates up to 4Mbyte of internal memory, an SD card slot, a USB port and two additional communication ports (Ethernet, CANopen or Modbus).

The incorporation of the SD Card enables data to be automatically backed up to an internal Flash memory and the application within the SD Card.

No battery is required.

The Plug and Load technology means applications can easily be updated and, for machine manufacturers, multiple machines can be simply and consistently setup.

Data files for recipes, traceability or maintenance can be stored and subsequently accessed from a PC or by simple 'drag and drop' via FTP.

Applications are maintained via the Modiconm340's USB port or over Ethernet.

Machines can be accessed from anywhere with complete security via modem or high speed DSL links.

Depending on the technology chosen, programming can be performed online, programs transferred, data files accessed and thanks to the embedded web server, also managed remotely via a web browser for operation and diagnostics.

Modiconm340 fits the tightest panel spaces thanks to its compact dimensions.

It accepts from 4 to 12 modules in a rack with up to 64 discrete I/O per module.

All I/O modules can be hot swapped and are automatically reconfigured by the CPU should they need replacement.

Modiconm340 withstands the most severe industrial environments as well as meeting, and in most instances exceeding, the limits imposed by the relevant IEC standards.

Modiconm340 offers synergy with all Schneider Electric's automation products, from control to supervision, and from monitoring to machine data acquisition.

Everything is designed to ease integration, speed up development and simplify installation, use and maintenance.

Modiconm340 conforms to all international standards, marine classifications and the RoHS European Directive on environmental protection.
