2 System and product description
2.1 The "Controller-based automation" system
Central control technology is increasingly finding its way into automation technology. Due to their
scaling possibilities and the possibilities to combine visualisation and control in one device,
industrial PCs have clear advantages for many applications.
The L-force Controllers are available with the following software programs:
• L-force Controller as control system
• L-force Controller as visualisation system (depending on the model, an additional panel may be
required)
• L-force Controller as component, on request with operating system, without any further
software
The "Controller-based automation" system enables the central control of Logic and Motion systems.

Further information on parameter setting and configuration of the individual bus
systems can be found in the following communication manuals:
