PS4 – Ethernet for All
With CoBox on the Ethernet

PS4 PLCs come with an RS232 interface for programming access. This can be linked to the CoBox in order to implement a connection to Ethernet. The CoBox in this case is used as a kind of converter between the RS232 and the 10/100 Mbit Ethernet, thus considerably increasing the useful communication options of the PS4 controllers.

The very simple data access options already available can now be used over long distances and for new types of applications. Initial expenditure is very small since the required infrastructure is often already in place.

Ethernet communication with PS4
If several PLCs are connected to Ethernet via a CoBox, process data can now also be exchanged between the PLCs by using the UDP (User Datagram Protocol). Function blocks are available for setting up connec-tions for this easily.

WEB server on board
The CoBox contains a WEB server that can be used to access the data of the PS4 system. Ready-made user modules ensure that access to all the marker data of the PLC is menu-driven. The status of the PLC is also transferred.
