DEIF AMC 300 Performance and system design freedom

Performance and system design freedom

The high-speed EtherCAT fieldbus on the AMC 300 is fast enough to handle

distributed I/O with one main controller and hundreds of distributed analogue

and digital I/O and communication channels in multiple locations.

You get the same update speed for local and distributed I/O nodes in an external network.

The system software launches very quickly and offers fail-safe start-up with

two operating system images separated from the application.

If one image fails to start up the AMC 300, the controller falls back to the

other image and completes start-up. Each image can be updated remotely.

After a successful start-up after an image update, the new image can be set as active.

The AMC 300 uses a special file system that tolerates sudden loss of power and monitors itself for errors.

The high-performance features of the AMC 300 also include direct 690 VAC

3-phase grid measurement, allowing you to measure voltage and

frequency in a wide range from 2 to 897 VAC.

Built-in operational cyber security features

With connected and online controllers, operational security is critical.

The Linux system in the AMC 300 provides cutting-edge security features.

For example, boot and firmware updates can only be carried out with

signed update packages. By default, there is only one user (admin)

account on the AMC 300. Still, you can create and manage multiple users

and access rights to ensure that the necessary users can handle the unit

while protecting the AMC 300 from unauthorised access.

CODESYS web visualisation is managed through certificate handling 

via the system web page. Authentication keys are added via system web

configuration, and the AMC 300 builds on standard secure file transfer

and access protocols like SSH and SCP. Finally, the Linux system is less

vulnerable to ordinary computer virus attacks than Windows-based PLCs.

Service-friendly, now and in future

With a design lifetime of no less than 10 years, the AMC 300 is with you

for the long haul. Combined with its robust construction and reliable performance,

you get years of uninterrupted operation with little need of service, maintenance, or repairs.

If spare parts do become necessary, we have you covered: The AMC 300 uses few

spare parts thanks to its modular and multi-functional architecture,

and new parts can be supplied quickly if needed. We offer a 10-year spare

part supply warranty so you can keep your parts stock up to date.
All software updates are handled by the AMC 300 itself with no need of user intervention.

No special tools are required; the new software update files are uploaded via

the system web configuration pages.
Like all other DEIF products, the AMC 300 comes with our 2-year warranty

(not including wear parts) which can optionally be prolonged to 3 years.
