Technology of the adaptive map controller: industrial PC, S7, Modbus TCP and BACnet

Hardware, interfaces, and technical specifications

Industrial PC

The adaptive map controller runs on a powerful industrial PC by Phoenix Contact. The device is integrated directly into the process level – measurements are processed on-site where they are needed. What the adaptive map controller does in overview and the research basis at IAT Bremen behind the method are each described separately.

  • Fully autonomous – no cloud, no internet
  • Runs in an isolated OT network thanks to local processing
  • Industry standard for robust environments
  • Direct integration into the automation station
