Turck FLC Field Logic Controller

Demonstrating their commitment to flexible, custom solutions, Turck has developed the next big thing for control: the field logic controller (FLC). Turck's FLC solutions are made possible by ARGEE (A Really Great Engineering Environment), a revolutionary web-based programming environment that allows users to set conditions and actions directly at the field level. By utilizing HTML5, Turck provides a complete engineering environment for you to write, run, simulate, debug, and monitor code, all without requiring the use of a PLC.

Using FLCs, Turck's multiprotocol block I/O products can act as simple I/O devices or as standalone logic controllers. While ARGEE programming is not designed to replace a PLC outright, it can be used to change the way we think about control, allowing FLC devices to:

• Be used without a PLC in standalone applications
• Perform arithmetic functions, use timers, counters, and even toggle bits
• Share data with a PLC via assigned I/O variables

Using a simple "Condition" and "Action" principle that is integrated into a flow chart user interface, ARGEE allows users with little or no programming experience to easily configure and program their Turck FLC devices.

ARGEE challenges what an I/O device can do by creating a hybrid between simple block I/O and higher level PLCs. The result - Turck's FLC.

Schneider Electric M580 Ethernet Modules

The Cyber Security capability of Schneider Electric's Modicon M580 ePAC extends to the new BME NOC Ethernet communication modules. The M580 BMENOC0301 and BMENOC0311 Ethernet modules utilize the M580’s Ethernet Backplane and provide increased security features and improved robustness. These new Ethernet modules integrate with the security features of the M580 PAC as part of a total system. Like the Modicon M580 ePAC, the BME NOC Ethernet modules are also Achilles Level 2 certified.

Achilles Level 2 is:  A certification by the Wurldtech company.  A detailed examination of the Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP and UDP implementations.  One of the most recognized standard today (similar to ISA Secure CRT).

Achilles Level 2 demonstrates device robustness against a pre-defined set of tests, and that high-rate and malformed traffic is not likely to stop it. These BMENOC Ethernet modules are confirmed to be robust under both extreme and common conditions.

Additional Cyber Security capabilities as part of the Modicon PAC offering:

• Prevent unauthorized network device access using Access Control list (ACL) to restrict access to the Ethernet communication module in its role as either a Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP server. User specifies the IP addresses of these devices allowed to communicate with the module.
• ACL Configuration done in Unity Pro programming software.
• ACL Setting can be modified online (without the need to stop the PLC).
• Any changes in PAC program or configuration can be password protected at PAC level. 
• Remote PLC RUN/STOP setting can be controlled by an internal bit.
• Memory Protect bit can be set to prevent any changes in the PAC.
• For the Modicon M580 ePAC, the firmware is now encrypted using AES256 algorithm. The encryption verifies the integrity of the firmware before loading it.
