sysWORXX CTR-700: Control & Monitoring for Industry 4.0 Wednesday, 8. March 2017 | Topics

Our sysWORXX CTR-700 speaks the language of your staff

Our new sysWORXX CTR-700 ensures a secure connection between the automation and IT levels. The inputs and outputs of this all-rounder support standard industrial signals such as digital I/Os (24 VDC, 250 VAC) and analogue I/Os (0 …10 VDC, 4 …20 mA). It is also suitable for mounting on DIN top-hat rails.

The sysWORXX CTR-700 is developed by SYS TEC electronic in Germany and is designed for long-term availability for industrial applications in Europe.

Below, we provide you with some initial brief information on the new sysWORXX CTR-700. Detailed information is available for download in the PDF file opposite.

Mesh networks with Wirepas

• Wirepas Connectivity offers a connectivity solution optimised for performance, bandwidth, range and latency. Our technology is hardware-independent – our protocol runs on any wireless chip. Our solution enables customers to run the network on batteries for up to 15 years. To achieve this, all network parameters – such as bandwidth and latency – must, of course, be monitored and controlled, but that is precisely what Wirepas does. We make compromises to ensure the solution meets our customers’ needs – no more, no less.
