Expanding PLC Capabilities with Advanced Control & Edge Computing

Smart manufacturing demands fast, flexible, and future-ready computing. With Weidmuller’s M-Series Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), you get more than just a controller—you get a system that expands traditional PLC capabilities by seamlessly integrating real-time control, IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) convergence, and edge computing in a single device.

The M3000 and M4000 are designed to handle complex industrial automation tasks with multi-core processing, expanded memory, and ultra-fast data handling. Unlike traditional PLCs, these PACs feature an open, factory-installed operating system, delivering greater flexibility, scalability, and IIoT-ready functionality for modern automation environments.

Setup is effortless with universal USB-C connectivity, multiple Ethernet ports (2 or 4), and Weidmuller’s u-OS with CODESYS compatibility, ensuring a plug-and-play experience. From the factory floor to edge computing applications, the M3000 and M4000 redefine industrial automation with smarter, more efficient control.

IoT-Gateways

Using our IoT gateway, you can collect machine data and gain access to your field devices and controls. Various protocols and interfaces are available for this purpose. Data pre-processing is carried out using the open IoT standard Node-RED, whose large community has a wide range of solutions in store. You can set up interfaces to your own IT systems as well as to cloud solutions like Azure, AWS or IBM. For location-independent remote system maintenance, you can also integrate the gateway into the u-link Remote Access Service.
