The new b maXX 6000 series

One size fits all?

Your application requirements can be implemented, down to the smallest detail, with the new b maXX 6000 series. Use numerous hardware and software options to define which manifestation of which functions are needed in the engineering phase. The result is a device that takes into consideration your individual requirements �C depending on the process (performance range and overload capability), ambient conditions (e.g. cooling method), system architecture (e.g. field buses and encoder options) or safety requirements.

New series �C new functions

The new b maXX 6000 series has numerous convincing new functions, which have been specially developed for sophisticated applications. The new controllers are faster and more reliable than ever before. Despite the expanded functional scope, the firmware is fully compatible with the preceding b maXX 5000 family �C a changeover is therefore possible without new programming or parameterization.

Industry 4.0: Control units for Motion Control and IoT

The b maXX PLC combines the properties of industrial PCs and PLC control units, thereby covering the area between these existing solutions optimally. b maXX PLC is available in two versions: The b maXX PLC mc controls motion-control applications and, used in combination with the extensive Baum��ller technology libraries, it enables fast implementation of high-performance automation tasks. With the b maXX PLC IoT Industry 4.0 version, data can be collected directly at the machine, preprocessed, and output to other terminal devices or the cloud. They make extensive and complex data analyses, in order to enable Industry 4.0 applications, such as predictive maintenance and predictive quality as well as connectivity to AI. At the same time, new business models such as ��pay per x�� can be implemented.

The Node-RED software is also implemented on the b maXX PLC IoT. This allows users to set individual parameters to analyze data or even create their own dashboards. The available MQTT module allows data to be sent to different clouds, regardless of the respective cloud provider. It also includes an OPC-UA module, which ensures interoperability at machine level.

Data from different manufacturers�� devices can be processed. Data from Baum��ller products, e.g. a b maXX converter, can be output parallel to the field bus through the internal protocol and thus through the service interface. Due to the enhanced functions, the connectivity of Baum��ller devices, such as b maXX PLC IoT, with other automation components can be established via OPC UA.

Thanks to the HMI certified according to IEC 62443 and secure routers, which meet the requirements of the BSI (German Federal Office for Information Security), the requirements of industrial security are also met.
