Inovance H5U is a high-performance, compact PLC designed for demanding automation applications that require advanced motion control and networking capabilities. It stands out from the H1U series with its emphasis on EtherCAT communication and sophisticated motion control features.
The H5U series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), a new generation of small-sized PLC developed by Inovance, supports EtherCAT bus communication and features powerful motion control and distributed I/O control functions. It allows process encapsulation and reuse using the FB/FC function, as well as multi-layer network communication through the RS485, CAN, Ethernet, and EtherCAT interfaces.
Easy series small- and medium-sized PLCs are available in eight models, covering the demands of automation equipment requiring small footprint, multi-axis motion control, accurate temperature control, and easy networking.
