New SaiaPCD2.M range –
modular automation devices in flat-style construction
PLC + IT + Web = SaiaPCD2.M5

Innovative web and IT technologies on a freely programmable automation device matching the PLC quality standard IEC 61131-2: the appeal of the new has been combined with the proven quality of the old by Saia-Burgess and is now available in devices with a flat-style construction. What previously was only possible with a PC / IPC or high-end controller is now offered by the new mid-range in the form of the SaiaPCD2.M5.
The basic device is a CPU and I/O module carrier in one. For communication, the following interfaces are present as standard: USB, Ethernet with switch, RS232/RS 485 – 115 KBaud, RS 485 / Profibus 1.5 MBaud. For fast signals, 6 inputs and 2 outputs have been integrated in the CPU. The basic device can be equipped with a choice of 50 different I/O modules up to 256 I/Os. Expansion units enable up to 1023 I/Os to be addressed.
Without changing the frame size, expansion is possible from 4 to 15 communications interfaces, including CAN, Profibus DP 12 MBaud, MP Bus. No other automation device in its class can do this.
Internal program/data memory for applications can be expanded from 1 MByte to 4 GBytes. This data can be accessed via FTP or http, or directly in Excel-compatible CSV format. It can also be transmitted by e-mail.
The small, optional, built-in browser control unit with its 1.9 inch graphics display uses web technology. This permits on-site operation of the SaiaPCD2 from all PCs and Web-Panels connected in the network, at no added expense.
The application can be programmed as preferred either in SaiaPG5 or Step7 from Siemens and then, without specific software tools, visualized, configured and maintained via a web browser.
