The WinPLC offers you the advantages of a PC ... in a PLC!

The WinPLC is a revolutionary product that brings the best of the PC-based control and the programmable logic controller (PLC) worlds to a common platform. PLCs control more industrial automation than any other form of controller. However, it often isn't enough just to control I/O for today's business-aware applications. From the proprietary operating system and ladder logic programming to the hardware design, PLCs were not typically designed for handling string or array data, complex math, or network collaboration with other software applications and intelligent devices. For success with these applications, use the WinPLC. 

The WinPLC module fits into the CPU slot of the popular DL205 series PLC bases for fast, convenient control of DL205 I/O modules. Programs are downloaded on the WinPLC just like a PLC. However, the WinPLC uses Windows CE, a real-time operating system, with the advantages of PC software such as OPC, ActiveX and the other Microsoft communication tools. The WinPLC offers both deterministic control and PC connectivity. Control, data management, communication and integration with business systems are easy with the WinPLC's advanced software development tools. 

Develop projects for the WinPLC with Think & Do Studio or Think & Do Live! HMI development software, or for qualified OEMs or software developers, the WinPLC comes in a CE-only version for VB and C++ programmers to develop their own control code. Entivity versions of the WinPLC and its development software can be purchased from AutomationDirect.
