Saia PCD® QronoX ECS

• The name of the new controller Saia PCD® QronoX is drawn from “chronos”, the Greek word for “time”.

  In addition, the clock serves as a symbol of Switzerland’s industrial culture and represents its high level of precision.

  The new controller embodies both of these qualities.

   

  The QNX operating system excels with the help of its precise real time and high degree of availability.

  The time required to execute tasks is controlled, and a related monitoring system provides the necessary transparency in real time.

  The use of a normalised programming language for industrial control purposes assures many years of operation that will extend across generations.

  This will prevent overdependence on fleeting technologies and passing fads.

   

  At the same time, state-of-the-art cyber security methods team up with comprehensive networking to clear the way to the future.
