Multifunction controller
Control process sequences without PLC
The HE 5697 MFC multifunction controller makes it easy to create complex sequence controls. Programming knowledge as with a PLC is not required.
The controller from Hesch has over 100 ready-made and tested function blocks for almost all processes. To create a control system including control technology, the user simply has to assemble the appropriate function blocks on the PC using drag-and-drop to create the desired sequence and wire them with a click of the mouse. If changes are made to the process, the control system can be quickly adapted.
The MFC offers communication options via Profinet Class A, Profibus DP slave, Modbus RTU master, Modbus RTU slave, Modbus TCP client, Modbus TCP server, CAN bus or HPR bus master. It is operated via a touch display with four freely assignable buttons and two programmable LEDs.
