The news P5 plc has a fast local bus and three other buses which make it possible to deport acquisition devices.All buses offer an automatic recognition of the inputs/outputs cards.The brand new P5 plc introduces you into the world "open source" of LINUX and will adapt without any problem to the evolution of your needs.

• ColdFire processor 32 bits
• Multiples memories (1 MB SRAM, 16 MB DRAM and 8 MB Flash)
• Material architecture in multiple frames 19" high 3U
• 16 I/O cards places per frame
• Connector only in the front
• Up to 2000 I/O controlled per PLC
• Complete freedom for the position of the I/O cards in the frames
• Support from 2 to 20 serial communication lines
• Basic communication through Ethernet
• Integration of the standard communication protocols (Modbus,...)
• Total absence of any mobile mechanical piece
• Software for programming, configuration and analysis under Windows
• Programming and diagnosis on-line without disruption of the functioning in progress
• Possibility of programming in languages IEC61131-3

10 reasons to work with P5!

• Simplicity of wiring:The various frames are connected from the front via a link card,no wiring on the back of frames needed. Cards can directly power their input-outputs without passingby intermediate connector blocks. Cards have complete freedom for the position in the frameand are automatically recognised according to the "plug and work" method.Cards are provided with removable connector blocks.


• Industrial robustness: Mounted in 3U racks aluminium made,the cards are fixed by their all-metal front face.The cards are insulated and protected effectively by a double galvanic insulation, relays, and fuse.Its characteristics will turn maintenance unnecessary.


• Total polyvalence:A “frontend” communications server or a PLC with thousands of input-outputs is made up only with a dozen different cards!Your spare parts stocks will smile again...


• Processing capability:The Central Processing Unit proposes a confortable computing power,and not to waste time, it sub-contracts to a coprocessor the care to manage the communications towards the external worldinput-outputs, Ethernet, serial lines...)


• Multi-platform workshop for development:Operational as well in the Linux world as Windows, the workshop proposes a database centralised with semi-automated tools of distribution, fast simulation and intelligent diagnosis on line.


• Programming languages standard:Standard IEC61131-3 is supported. The basic languages were enriched by current,essential concepts: objects oriented, events oriented, distribution of programs...


• Modification on line:It is not necessary to stop the cycle of the plc to modify a program or to exchange charts.


• Openness:The Linux core proposes you open softwares (Web server, SNTP, SNMP, NFS, Shell...).Thanks to a simple interface, you can develop applications in your favourite language.


• Possible total integration with the SCADA system:It is not necessary any more to think an application in terms of SCADA and PLC systems independently. Coupled with OBviews SCADA system, the P5 PLC benefits from the same languages, the same databases, the same objects and the same environment of development.


• Availability:installed in Nuclear Power Plants, respecting the most demanding standards, the new P5 plc is at your service 24 hours a day and 7 days a week!
