OpenLogik  System Architecture

The openLOGIK is an open scalable Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system that provides the performance of traditional Distributed Control Systems (DCS) at a PLC price.

Features such as an option for redundant PLC Controllers and redundant remote communications using the latest in fiber optic communications technology by Apix called Isonet.

Each PLC controller node consists of a Pentium based processor for control and a high power DSP processor for IO data acquisition with a dedicated power supply to ensure PLC availability. Expansion of IO is accomplished via a high speed fiber optic communication network for up to eight (8) remote IO racks. The system provides for optional redundant PLC controllers. The standby controller may be removed under power without loss of control.
Fieldbus connectivity is available for Modbus, DeviceNet, Profibus DP, CANbus, and others.
