The possibility for fitting in the CFW700 series with accessories discarding any need for additional configuration (Plug and Play Philosophy) saves time and allows quickness and easiness when attempting to install modules shown below:
- Human Machine Interface
-
- Display
-
- SoftPLC
-
The CFW700 Incorporated PLC functionalities, through a micro PLC factory built called SoftPLC. This additional tool gives more flexibility as the product also allows users to develop their own application programming in Ladder, ruling out in many cases, the need for an external PLC.
- Free Software
