A compact CPU

Manufacturer and distributor of industrial automation systems and components, Vipa Italia, which took part at SPS 2016 from the YASKAWA stand, following its buy-up by the said company, exhibited one of its leading solutions: the new compact SLIO CPU 013, which combines, in a single housing, the PLC CPU with integrated SPEED7 technology in analogue and digital inputs/outputs, as well as dedicated channels for special technology functions.

The processing speed is much higher than any similar range PLC: 10 ns for  Bit/Word/fixed-point operations, 60 ns for the floating point ones. The communication bus between the CPU and additional IOs (up to 64 modules) with speed to 48 Mbit/s in fact allow a rapid data capture from the IOs.
Thanks to the integrated input/output channels space saving systems can be installed, as in the case of the panels on board machine. The price/performance ratio, highly costs-effective, enables the reduction of initial costs by up to 30%.
