4 The "Controller-based Automation" system
Central control technology keeps finding its way into automation technology. Due to their scaling
options and various possibilities of combining visualisation and control in one device, Industrial PCs
offer great advantages for many applications.
Lenze Controllers are available in the following software equipments:
• Controllers as component, on request with operating system, without further software
• Controller as visualisation system (depending on the mode, an additional panel may be availab-
le)
• Controller as control system
The "Controller-based Automation" system enables central control of Logic & Motion systems.

Note!
• When the system is installed, we recommend to connect the Logic & Motion devices
to separate phases!
• When the EtherCAT bus system is used, no separate phases for Logic & Motion are re-
quired.

More information on how to parameterise and configure the single bus systems can be
found in the following communication manuals:
• Control technology CANopen ®
• Control technology EtherCAT ®
• Control technology PROFIBUS ®

Read the Mounting Instructions accompanying the controller first before you start
working!
The Mounting Instructions contain safety instructions which must be observed!
