GE Automation & Controls CPL410 controller

The CPL410 PLC from GE Automation & Controls is agnostic to cloud platform providers and combines an embedded Linux Ubuntu OS with GE’s RX3i programmable logic controller platform.

GE’s CPL410 Outcome Optimising Controller is designed to be versatile and interacts with weather forecasts, stock indices, electricity prices, IoT cloud databases, Linux software apps and historical process data to deliver near-real-time control variables for prediction, advanced analytics and control optimisation.

The PACEdge PLC is built with a 1.2 GHz 4-core processor and real-time hypervisor technology to execute deterministic control concurrently, yet independently to the embedded Linux Ubuntu OS applications. Built for heavy industry and reliable control with hot standby CPU redundancy, the RX3i PLC supports 32,000 IO points, SQLite, Apache, Python, Profinet, Modbus, DNP3 and OPC connectivity via five Gigabit Ethernet ports, while incorporating advanced cybersecurity technology.

Users can develop and run data processing Linux-based applications next to the control system to optimise processes for better and dynamic outcomes for a range of diverse applications, including water and wastewater, industrial steam, automotive, chemical, oil and gas, discrete manufacturing and modular machine designs.
