SEL-3555
Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC)
- The SEL-3555 RTAC series provides a powerful automation platform that integrates high-performance x86-64 architecture, a real-time operating system (RTOS), and a secure communications framework. These controllers process data up to 55 times faster than previous-generation RTACs, making them ideal for large-scale automation projects and advanced data concentration. They are fully programmable using IEC 61131-3 standards, allowing for flexible and innovative logic solutions.
Key Features
