Kunbus at the SPS 2021
Alternative to PLCs
The RevPi Connect+ feat.Codesys from Kunbus can be used as a modular and powerful small controller for a variety of different automation tasks and, according to the provider, represents an alternative to complex and cost-intensive PLCs.
The 'RevPi Connect+' base module can be supplemented with a large number of digital and analog I/O and gateway expansion modules, which can be seamlessly integrated into Codesys and controlled and configured via the integrated development environment.
As the Codesys runtime natively supports many fieldbus and industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet, Ethercat, Ethernet/IP or CANopen, the 'RevPi' can be used as a soft PLC in such networks. With the included 'Codesys WebVisu', user interfaces or visualization masks can be generated and displayed on PCs, tablets or smartphones via all common browsers. This eliminates the need for separate HMI software.
