Series Description
0AC Interface Converters
0AC Interface Converters
When developing and maintaining production line control systems, easy field programming is essential. The 0AC Interface Converter series from B&R streamlines this process through an intelligent Program Loader. It provides an inline workflow for engineers to transfer customized application software directly to PCC industrial PC controllers. Programs are first developed on a standard development PC and saved to industry-standard PCMCIA memory cards. Using its card slot, the integrated Program Loader then reads programs from these compact flash disks. It proceeds to copy the executable code over the internal bus onto the PCC's permanent memory. No additional downloading tools or complicated hardware connections are required. For machine builders and line integrators, this approach simplifies automation updates and repairs by enabling on-site replays of programs from portable cards. Version management is also improved through the ability to load programs from removable media. Overall, the 0AC Interface Converter Program Loader optimizes the total cost of ownership for PCC controllers through highly convenient localized programming functionality.
