Smarty controllers use drive.web distributed control technology over Ethernet to provide homogeneous, Internet-accessible, peer-to-peer networking. The controller line provides full-featured motion and process functions with precision analog, logic and encoder I/O options, together with multiple communications options, including Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, EIP and CanOpen. A miniature smarty without I/O, called “speedy,” embeds in drives and other devices to provide both node intelligence and smart networking, and “savvy” tools use intuitive graphical, function block programming to configure, connect and control everything from anywhere.
