Process Controller cont.
Backplane of ECA600:
AO = Analog Output
(from controller)
= Control signal
to the actuator

AO signal ranges:
4 – 20 mA (most popular)
or 0 – 5 V or 0 – 10 V

AI = Analog Input
(to controller)
= Measurement signal
from the sensor

AI signal ranges:
4 – 20 mA (most popular)

CM50 comes with several templates of
control structures.
Example (cascade + feedforward control):

Programmable Automation Controller (PAC)
CompactRIO, National Instruments:

"The CompactRIO platform features a range of embedded controllers with two processing targets: (1) a real-
time processor for communication and signal processing and (2) a user-programmable FPGA to implement
high-speed control and custom timing and triggering directly in hardware. Eliminate the need for separate
subsystems by connecting directly to sensors, displays, cameras, and motors and take advantage of powerful8
development and run-time software." (National Instruments)
