E1/K1 Controller family - 32bit/1GHz power combined with extensive features

The E1/K1 controller family has a wide range of communication interfaces, a powerful ARM® Cortex-A9® Multicore CPU, Onboard-IOs and a M.2/Mini-PCIexpress slot for function extensions. It is programmed with CODESYS V3 in the common IEC 61131-3 languages. Visualizations and user interfaces can be created with CODESYS Web/Target Visu or Qt.
Ready for Industrie 4.0 with OPC-UA and EtherCAT

The Ethernet interface in combination with the integrated OPC-UA server allows an easy integration into SmartFactory structures. IOs and drives can be connected via EtherCAT or CANopen, in addition the K1 controller has onboard IOs.
E1/K1 Controller family - Standalone or as system unit for L1/C1 panels

The DVA-Panelinterface enables remote operation of L1/C1 panels on the K1 controller. Video, touchscreen, USB and power supply are routed over a up to 5 meter long single cable.

In addition to the standalone versions for mounting in electric cabinets, the E1/K1 controllers are also available as system units for L1/C1 automation panels.
In this combination, the E1/K1 controllers can be used as Touch-PLC or web panel.
The xE/xK system units are simply mounted on the back of the panel. Display, touchscreen, USB and power supply are routed over a standardized mechanical and electrical interface.
