DEIF iE 650 PLC Fast, fail-safe, and secure system software

Fast, fail-safe, and secure system software

The iE 650 PLC uses a Linux OS maintained in-house by DEIF, a fast-starting, fail-safe, robust,

and secure system software. The architecture of the platform is fully open,

giving you full access to system set-up, plus a world of options including web-based configuration,

user management, IEC 61131-3 programming via CODESYS V3.5. and secure web-based visualisation.

A wide range of communication protocols like MODBUS RTU/TCP, OPC UA, CAN/CANopen, J1939.

and PROFINET are provided as standard. Controller redundancy is supported by the 

CODESYS Controller Redundancy feature via Single Licenses.

The iE 650 PLC has two OS images that are separate from the application. If a start-up or

software update fails, the unit switches to the other image and completes the operation.

Both images can be updated, and troubleshooting can be carried out, using remote access.

The iE 650 PLC handles software updates itself.

The controller is prepared to deal with cybersecurity threats:

The new CPU module and operating system are compliant to IEC 62443.

Wide operating temperature range

The sturdy electronics design of the iE 650 PLC gives it a design lifetime of 10 years at

40 °C ambient temperature, and the ability to operate from -40 to 70 °C. As a result,

you can use the iE 650 PLC all over the world. It can start from -40 °C and can be stored from -40 to 85 °C.

It will operate at a relative humidity from 5 to 97% (condensing at 55 °C).

This contributes to lower service costs, and the long lifetime ensures high value for

your investment and minimises electronic waste.

Robust and well protected

The iE 650 PLC is designed for robustness based on the proven AWC 500 design.

The base-mounted rack design makes the iE 650 PLC resistant to bumps (25 g),

shocks (50 g), and vibrations, even during transportation.

The backplane interconnection of the I/O modules ensures reliable communication in harsh environments,

avoiding long-term damage often seen with slide-in contacts.

The flanges ensure improved grounding to increase protection against EMC, and its built-in

protection circuits safeguard the controller from surges and fast transients up to 4kV, electrostatic discharge up to 6kV.
