The industry's full transition to the new generation automation systems is going to take a long time. IceBlock distributed PLC platform is a key to enhance existing equipment with distributed intelligent control today. It is an ultimate future-proof solution that will allow a seamless transition to Industry 4.0IceBlock nano-PLC is a powerful yet tiny and cost-effective device that is intended to be a node on the Internet of Machines. It can perform control of an intelligent mechatronic component collaborating with other such components wirelessly. It talks with other nodes peer-to-peer via the Internet Protocol, thus avoiding the plethora of obsolete field buses. IceBlock exists in the standard 4xInputs, 4xOutputs configuration, but it can be customized to particular interfaces of mechatronic devices.
