Central processing unit for an automation system

JUMO variTRON 500 is based on the modular platform JUMO JUPITER. The central processing unit along with the tried-and-tested input and output modules (incl. controller module) of the measuring, control, and automation system JUMO mTRON T form an overall system and provide a PLC (CODESYS V3.5).

The central processing unit JUMO variTRON 500 is based on a new hardware platform with an 800 MHz processor, which is used as a quad-core variant.

Due to the scalability of hardware and software a modular, flexible, and above all sustainable hardware platform is available that is combined with a modern software architecture. Based on this new platform, innovative operating concepts can now be implemented using state-of-the-art display technologies.

Highlighted Features:

• High speed performance
• Flexible operating philosophy
• Modern communication interfaces (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT)
• Integration of different fieldbus protocols such as PROFINET IO, EtherCAT, and Modbus-TCP/-RTU
• Easy integration of new software functions via PLC (CODESYS V3.5)
• Availability of function and visualization libraries (as of system version x)
• Easy adaptation of hardware inputs and outputs
• Customized operation and visualization with several operator stations via CODESYS remote target visualization or via web visualization (mixed operation is possible)
• Panels in various formats (portrait or landscape, 4:3 or 16:9)
