Your gateway to Industry 4.0
The newly developed unit FP-I4C is the communicator for automation. Working like a data collector, the FP-I4C connects programmable controllers to the distributed control system and thus enables remote access even for small systems. Thanks to its wide range of functions, such as an integrated web server and FTP client, and thanks to its compact design, the communication unit is the ideal complement for programmable controllers without Ethernet capability.
FP-I4C: for everything in IoT that requires remote operation, assistance and alarms
In today’s world, users want to be able to instantly connect to, monitor, and operate machines and devices securely, no matter where they are.
