Kontron is shipping a DIN-rail-mounted PLC (programmable logic
controller) that is based on embedded Linux. The ThinkIO PLC supports up to 64 modular fieldbus I/O clamps from Wago, and runs CoDeSys (controller development system) “soft PLC” software from 3S Software. Thanks to its embedded PC architecture, the ThinkIO boasts PC software compatibility and interfaces — such as graphics and TCP/IP networking — in addition to its modular industrial I/O expansion.
