With the XC-204, Eaton offers a universal and flexible controller that allows machine and plant manufacturers to implement a slim and modern automation concept in combination with the compact I/O system XN300 and the innovative XV touch panel. The Ethernet interfaces paired with standard CAN and RS485 interfaces expand the functions of the XC-204 to a universal data and communication point for the networked system. The small controller is CODESYS 3 programmable, supports WEB visualization in HTML5 format and the OPC-UA server ensures data exchange in machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Up to 16 modules of the XN300 I/O system can be connected as a local I/O level. The following interfaces are included in this variant: USB, Ethernet, CAN and RS485.
