Universal IoT/M2M telecontrol device C3xx series with IEC 61131-3 ST programming

One device – many functions

2G/GPRS mobile radio
Control (PLC)
Data Logger
User Interface
Fault warning device

The C350 combines many functions in one device, from an integrated 2G/GPRS modem to a programmable controller (PLC) with a graphic display and programmable keys as a user interface, to a professional data logger and fault indicator. Powerful in communication thanks to numerous interfaces and protocols and almost unlimited expandable, it is the ideal device for demanding M2M and IoT applications.

Integrated mobile communication

The C350 has a 2G/GPRS/EDGE modem to bring mobile communications directly into your applications. Easy to use for connection to all leading cloud platforms, as fault indicator directly with SMS or voice with IVR (Interactive Voice Response) and DTMF or for communication with other C350s. Thanks to the high-level integration into the development environment (IDE), programming distributed applications is just as easy as programming a single PLC.

Performance and security for edge computing

The C350 is based on an RTOS real-time core withIEC 61131-3 runtime environment. The 32-bit ST Arm®processor provides more than enough power and memory for your edge-computing applications. AES encryption and a certificate management for all important TCP based protocols (e.g. MQTT, SMTP, TCP/IP Sockets) offer a high security for your communication, e.g. with a cloud.

I/O interfaces for all needs

The C350 has 8 digital inputs (4 configurable as S0), 8 digital solid state outputs(36V / 1.5A), 4 flexibly configurable analog inputs and outputs each. The interface equipment is completely transparently expandable via Modbus modules for the user software and can be extended almost indefinitely.

Versatile communication

In addition to the mobile phone connection, the C350 has a large number of interfaces: CAN-2.0, RS-232, RS-485, 1-Wire und USB. For easy use of the interfaces, the development environment provides support for a variety of protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, SMTP, FTP, MQTT, 1-Wire, M-Bus, Modbus (Master and Slave).
