Increase your efficiency with PC-based control
Multi-touch panels offer maximum flexibility
The CP2xxx and CP3xxx Control Panel and Panel PC series are characterised by a modern operating concept with multi-touch display as well as an advanced, elegant device design. As built-in or mounting arm devices, the aluminium panels are extremely robust and are designed for use under harsh industrial conditions. Widescreen panels in various sizes and resolutions are available in addition to the classic display sizes in
4:3 format.

CX2000: Multi-core express on a DIN rail
The modular Embedded PCs of the 2nd generation offer new options on the DIN rail. The modules are alternatively equipped with the following processors: Intel® Celeron® 1.4 GHz single-core (CX2020), Intel® Core™ i7 1.5 GHz dual-core (CX2030) or Intel® Core™ i7
2.1 GHz quad-core (CX2040). The system interfaces are connected via PCI Express. The power supply module automatically detects which type of I/O system is connected.

AM8000 servomotor integrates the feedback system into the standard motor cable
The rotary synchronous servomotors from the AM8xxx series, which are available in standard and in stainless steel designs, are characterised by high dynamics, energy efficiency and low costs. One of the highlights is the new single-cable technology, with which the power and feedback system are combined in the standard motor cable.

Engineering advantage through TwinCAT 3
In addition to active multi-core support, TwinCAT offers significant potential for saving engineering costs and for developing control tasks more efficiently with the optimum programming language for the task in hand. TwinCAT integrates all key programming languages in its development environment: IEC 61131-3 and CFC, including object-oriented extensions, the high-level languages C/C++, and Matlab®/Simulink® for scientific applications.
