Micro programmable logic controller (micro PLC)
Ultimate control for building automation and home automation designs
Automating processes is a PLC’s primary objective. To do so, it monitors and interprets different variables so it can control and actuate external systems. Responsible for basic controls in a host of general applications, micro PLCs are under mounting pressure to be both user-friendly and cost-effective. Additional challenges micro PLCs currently face: sensing, controlling, driving and communicating under harsh conditions and in limited space. Altogether, this places high demands on microcontrollers in micro PLC applications.
The performance and quality your building control designs need
In tune with these demands, Infineon offers high-quality microcontrollers in the XMC1000 family – at an attractive price. Our XMC1000 family houses an ARM® Cortex™-M0 core and is ideally suited for a micro PLC’s communication and human-machine interface tasks. It offers 200kb of flash, 2 CAN nodes, 4 serial channels, 3 x 64 LED matrix control, 9-channel LED brightness and color control.
Because at Infineon we believe that even cost-friendly products deserve enhancements, a selection of our XMC1000 microcontrollers is equipped with an optional integrated security IP. This exceptional added value for your micro PLC application is something you’ll find nowhere else on the market. Explore our solutions for micro PLCs and boost your application with components from Infineon.
