Eaton The three device variants of the XC300 Comprehensive functions and interfaces

Comprehensive functions and interfaces

The three device variants of the XC300 have up to three independent

Ethernet interfaces for operation in different networks.

In addition, the RS485 and 2xCAN interfaces as well as 4xI/O channels

with their own power supply complement the functions for using the

device as a universal control and communication point.

Compact automation concepts

Combining the devices with the I/O systems from the XN300 range allows

user to create tailor-made solutions while keeping the footprint to a minimum.

Both the XC300 devices and the XN300 modules feature an attractive,

uniform design, which can be combined with Eaton’s innovative XV300

touch panels to implement powerful, state-of-the-art automation concepts.

The connection between the XC300 controller and the XN300 system can be

implemented locally or remotely.

Communication is its strength

The XC300 PLC integrates seamlessly into existing automation solutions and

also enables new, innovative machine and system concepts based on

Industry 4.0. User administration, segmentation, encryption and certificate-based

authentication based on current standards in communication and security technology

(TLS/IPSec) protect against unauthorized access to the machine and manipulation

of the user program. The device also supports CODESYS visualization via the

HTML 5 WEB server (https) and password-protected access to the file system (sftp).

The OPC-UA server for M2M communication for remote operation and maintenance

complements the communication profile for the perfect entry into the world of industry 4.0.
