Flexibility above all

Developed to be a PLC of fast integration to the factory environment and easy expansion, PLC500 shares the same expansion cards used in the line of WEG RUW100 Remote Units. Thus, you purchase a card and can use it in different WEG products, that is FLEXIBILITY.

All expansions are made through the Plug and Play concept, Simple, Fast and Efficient.

Expand Your Needs

The expansion cards used in PLC500 line have numerous configurations and allow the user to enjoy better combinations to meet his demands. Extremely compact design, only 25 mm per card. The cards are found in 10 different versions, featuring digital inputs and outputs, analog temperature inputs (Thermocouple J/K/T, PT100 and PT1000), and universal analog inputs and outputs in 0 to 10V and 0/4 to 20 mA.

Compact and Rugged

Developed to be a compact device to occupy the minimum space possible, also taking into account all the robustness required in an industrial equipment, that is PLC500. Built to meet IP20 protection degree and 5 - 150 Hz vibrations with maximum amplitude of 7 mm.

Development of high-level solutions

Develop your solutions in PLC500 through the CODESYS ® programming platform and enjoy the best development tools through object-oriented programming. This ensures that the developer can create their solutions more efficiently, saving time and accelerating their Startup.

This global programming platform allows the user to create, simulate, and debug the complete solution, bringing more integration and agility to the day-to-day.

International Programming Standard

Develop your solution from a platform created following international programming standards (IEC61131-3). CODESYS is programmable from the five main languages currently used and an additional one (CFC).

  • Ladder (LD);
  • Block Diagram (FBD);
  • Function Graphical Sequencing (SFC);
  • Structured Text (ST);
  • Continuous Function Chart (CFC).

Variety of protocols

To ensure easier integration into different communication networks, PLC500 was designed to meet the main and most used communication protocols in industrial environments such as CANopen, Modbus (RTU and TCP) and Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, MQTT and Profinet.

Be in control of movements

The PLC500MC version is the Motion Controller dedicated version, designed to offer the maximum in performance in machines and systems that require precise movements control.It combines high performance for control of embedded IoT IoT resources, allowing the integration of complex systems also in cloud.

With its powerful hardware, it is able to control up to 32 real or virtual axles, simple or synchronized, allowing its use in a wide range of applications and with different levels of complexity.
