PC-based control with WinAC Slot 412/WinAC Slot 416
In the top range of the PLC applications, the number of PC tasks such as data
processing and visualization is increasing. The use of PC-based control (= use of a
PC with an integrated PLC) is then frequently the solution to be preferred
compared to the use of a standard PLC with a PC link for communications.
PC-based control is the combination of a PLC and data processing on a PC with
WinAC Slot 412/WinAC Slot 416.
