Certified up to
SIL3, PL e. Eight
safe local inputs
and four safe local
outputs.
Convenient diag-
nostic functions,
e.g. status indica-
tion for safe I/Os
and error memory
with time stamp
for up to 2,000
messages.
Programming is
done via CODESYS
V3. Simplified
replacement of
slaves using
automatic teach
function.
The PLC can be
freely program-
med using
CODESYS V3. Its
software and
hardware operates
independently of
the fail-safe PLC,
but it can of
course communi-
cate with it and
exchange data.
The PLC has access
to all interfaces of
the system.

The new SmartPLC combines two separate
PLCs in one compact housing. While the
one PLC solves safety-related applications,
the second PLC either works as a standard
PLC or as platform for other tasks.
Both PLCs communicate with each other,
so that entire plant controls can be im-
plemented including safety functions and
visualisations with one only smart PLC.

6. Without pro-
gramming, the
SmartPLC can be
used directly as a
gateway for AS-i
on the one side,
and Profinet or
EtherNet/IP on the
other side.
The integrated
display and the
convenient web
interface display
all the available
status information
for the user and
support diagnos-
tics in case of a
fault.
Operational
system data can be
recorded via AS-i,
EtherCAT, Modbus
TCP, Profinet,
EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP,
UDP/IP or stored
on the SD card or
in the internal
flash memory.
If needed, the in-
tegrated real-time
clock provides a
time stamp for
each recorded data
block.
This simplifies the
documentation
and diagnostics of
processes.
A freely program-
mable web visuali-
sation based on
HTML5 provides
maximum transpa-
rency. An internet
browser with
HTML5 capability
is sufficient on the
final unit (PC, tab-
let, smartphone).
No further soft-
ware is required.
Even the full gra-
phic display of the
SmartPLC is freely
programmable for
visualisation tasks.
With the new ifm
system solution
apps, the process
data of different
sensors is transmit-
ted to common
fieldbus systems
and their parame-
ters are easily
made accessible.
These tailored apps
can be loaded
onto the SmartPLC
without program-
ming software.
This makes your
installation fit for
Industry 4.0.
Connect your sen-
sors and EtherNet
based devices to
your fieldbus: the
SmartPLC can be
used as protocol
converter between
Profinet, Ether-
Net/IP on the one
side and AS-i,
EtherCAT, Modbus
TCP, TCP/IP, UDP/IP
and IO-Link on the
other side.
