With its controller unit µMIC.200 MicroControl provides an innovative control system which is capable of more than a traditional industrial control unit can offer. Based on MicroControl's wealth of experience from hundreds of individual customer projects with their specific needs and requirements the µMIC solution offers everything the user may need in practice. Also, the requirements of Industry 4.0 are met as the control unit can easily be integrated into existing IT structures.

Compared with conventional mini control units MicroControl's µMIC.200 has a wider working temperature and supply voltage range and provides higher flexibility due to customizable electronics. With its rugged metal casing it is ideally suited to work reliably in harsh environments. And all that at very favourable conditions.

μMIC control units can be programmed with Node-RED open source software or in C/C++.

Node-RED offers:

• an intuitive graphic user interface
• quick results for prompt application
• no additional local software installation
• simply use μMIC and start working
• easy and quick connection to IoT Cloud services / Industry 4.0

More demanding specifications can be realized with the C/C++ programming option.

Getting started is easy using the freely available Eclipse IDE. All the tools necessary such as editor, compilers, debuggers, ssh shell are integrated in one single programme.

The real-time Linux operating system facilitates flexible development of applications software. The µMIC.200 may be connected to any PC or Notebook through its integrated Ethernet interface. Due to its secure Linux-Kernel and VPN function (virtual private network) programmers may access the µMIC.200 from everywhere without further investments.

Our freely programmable Linux based control unit µMIC.200 is equipped with an ARM Controller which is clocked at a maximum of 1 GHz. The module provides 512 MByte RAM as well as 4 GByte Flash memory which may be extended via the microSD slot. The maximum power consumption of the modules is 4 Watts.

Equipped with eight configurable digital in-/outputs, a relay, four freely controllable LEDs and a real-time clock the µMIC.200 may be used in a multitude of different applications. Digital signals, CAN bus and RS-232 are connected to the control unit via plug-in COMBICON® connectors. All I/O modules which are equipped with CANopen interface may be connected via the integrated CANopen FD Master Library.
