Successful generation change at the automation level
Saia®PCD3.Mxx6x Power-CPU
The new power CPU extends our range of top-class
PLCs. The Saia® PCD3.M5xx6x was released in mid-
2011.
Prior to that, over 120 new CPUs were used in
the pilot phase in a variety of projects, such as build-
ing automation, where communications perform-
ance and memory are at a premium, or in machine
control, where great performance has real advantag-
es. The new CPU runs application programmes 2-3
times faster than existing CPUs. In addition, the flash
memory has been doubled for the application pro-
gram and a new on-board flash memory for the file
system is provided as standard. Thanks to the faster
processor and increased system resources, the new
power CPU has enough power to process complex
control and communication tasks.
Below you will find more information about a
building technology project:
The Saia®PCD3.M5560 power CPU in use at
MarcCain textile company, Germany:
The building automation system of MarcCain’s new
administration and production building in Bod-
elshausen is controlled with Saia® PCD. The PCD3.
M5560 power CPU is used as central web manage-
ment station for operation and service. In this case,
high performance and extensive memory resources
were the decisive factor in selecting this controller.

Future developments at a glance
Saia®PCD3 with 2 Ethernet interfaces
The Saia® PCD2.M480 there is already a con-
troller with two Ethernet interfaces. However
this does not yet have
a fully-fledged auto-
mation server. To take
this into account, a
new Saia® PCD3 con-
troller with a second
Ethernet port (with in-
tegrated 2-port switch)
has now been created.
The Saia® PCD3.Mxx6x power CPU serves as the
basis for the new controller type. The second in-
terface is created with an additional co-proces-
sor module to the left of the existing extension.
Thus the controller now has two completely in-
dependent Ethernet ports. It is particularly suit-
ed for use in infrastructure projects (e.g. road
or railway tunnels). In that context, network
security and availability is a high priority.
The co-processor also provides the basis for fu-
ture functional enhancements.
