XC300 - smart control system for series machine construction

The XC300 is Eaton’s powerful and flexible control system,

allowing machine and plant builders to achieve a slim and

modern automation concept in combination with the compact

XN300 I/O slices and the innovative XV300 touch panel.

A wide range of functions and interfaces enable the flexible

use of the compact, high-performance control system in

modular automation solutions. Ethernet interfaces for

connection to different networks, along with the standard

CAN and RS485 interfaces, turn the device into a universal

control and communication point within the networked machine.

Versatile application

Three Ethernet adaptors serve as

a connection to various Ethernet

networks enabling secure,

segmented communication.

Space-saving installation

In a small space, optimum system

solutions are combined with the I/O

devices of the XN300 system and its

application-oriented functions.

Fast mounting

Easy to use thanks to pluggable

connection level and tool-free installation.

This saves time and allows the system

to be pre-assembled.

XC300 - smart control system for series machine construction

The function level of the XC300 can be extended to a high

degree of flexibility using all components of the XN300 I/O

system and adjusted to the requirements of your machine.

This enables you to produce flexible solutions in the smallest

spaces, with high channel density and competitive costs.

Simple to program

For series production, the device can

be programmed using the micro SD

card or the USB stick. The device

automatically copies all relevant data.

Seamless integration

The programming and visualization of

the PLC is based on CODESYS 3 and

can be done using any of the Ethernet

interfaces. Existing programs and

libraries can be used by all XC devices.

Big efficiency in a small package

The components of the XN300 I/O

system provide a broad range of

functions, which can be used as

either local or decentralized I/Os.

www.eaton.eu/xn300

Interfaces for every need

The connection to different Ethernet networks enables segmented machine architecture and

simplifies security against unauthorized access. With the segmentation of individual networks

for cell, machine, and SCADA, communication security and performance aspects can be

optimally coordinated.

Standard CAN components can be integrated into the automation solution by means of

two additional CAN interfaces, one of which is galvanically isolated.

There are also four input/output channels with their own power supplies, which complement

the functions of the XC300 enabling it to be a universal control and communication point.

It is possible to connect

the XC300 controller with

the XN300 system

either locally or in a

decentralized manner.

Implement Industry 4.0

The first revolution in industrial production took place with the

introduction of mechanical production facilities at the end of

the 18th century. This was the foundation for the later

implementation of mass production and the subsequent

automation of production processes.

Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution. Modern information

and communication technologies are now used in production

processes, and enable communication between humans,

machines, plants, logistics, and products. This networking helps

to optimize the entire value chain.

The transition to Industry 4.0 offers a range of advantages for

machine and plant operators:

• Process optimization along the value chain

• Customized series production

• Improvement of machine availability

• Optimization of the product life cycle (big data)

More information on Industry 4.0 can be found

in our white paper, at www.eaton.eu/en/iw/iot
