Modular CODESYS PLC Systems
The modular controllers in Kendrion's FIO series have been specially developed to meet your automation technology requirements. Their compact size means they offer maximum performance in the smallest of spaces. Based on the powerful, open CODESYS standard, Kendrion controllers offer a wide range of communication interfaces and customizable software packages. They can be easily integrated into your existing development environment. Kuhnke FIO controllers can be expanded with Kuhnke FIO I/O modules or used as standalone devices. Kendrion's CODESYS HMI panels can be used for simple and user-friendly visualization.
The modular FIO controllers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including gateway and communication tasks. They support SoftMotion Light, SoftMotion, and SoftMotion+ as well as CNC robotics options. In addition, the system enables the seamless connection of decentralized EtherCAT slaves, thus ensuring modern connectivity and flexibility.
The FIO controller line offers both efficient programmability with the CODESYS Development System and the flexibility to adapt the controller to your specific requirements. With their modern interfaces and expandability through FIO I/O modules, these systems offer a versatile and adaptable solution for your control requirements.
Certifications & Standards
FIO controllers meet common international standards and product norms and stand for the highest quality, safety, and reliability.
Cyber Security & Compliance
In order to meet the increasing requirements for IT security and legal regulations, FIO controllers are prepared for future compliance with relevant cybersecurity guidelines (CRA).
NEW: FIO Controller 111 with integrated I/O
The compact CODESYS PLC with motion and analog I/O
The new modular FIO Controller 111 combines the advantages of a compact controller with the capabilities of a modular PLC. Developed on an ARM basis, the Kuhnke FIO Controller 111 is programmed with CODESYS and features an integrated, multifunctional I/O interface.
With the help of the integrated, configurable IOs, including fast counters, analog value processing, pulse train outputs (PTO), and encoder inputs, numerous additional functions, such as the control of two synchronized axes, can be implemented in a cost-optimized manner. The integrated Industrial Ethernet, CAN, RS485, and EtherCAT communication interfaces enable simple and versatile connection of a wide variety of components and thus smooth integration into existing and new automation systems. Additional communication channels can also be opened up through the use of bus modules. A µSD card enables local storage of process data and the exchange of control programs.
The FIO controller is suitable for numerous automation tasks in mechanical engineering. Typical areas of application also include energy generation, equipment manufacturing, testing facilities, cleaning systems, and special machine construction.
