Description of the controllers
3.1
General description of the controllers
The AXC F 1152 and AXC F 2152 controllers are modular small-scale controllers. The
AXC F 3152 is a modular controller with an integrated Ethernet and Axioline F local bus con-
nection.
The controllers consist of an electronics module (1) and a bus base module (2).

Components of the controller
Axioline F station
An Axioline F station is created by connecting Axioline F modules to the controller. The
Axioline F local bus (referred to as local bus in this document) is implemented by arranging
bus base modules side by side.
Inline station
As an alternative to an Axioline F station, you can create a PLCnext Inline station using the
controller. To do so, you need the AXC F IL ADAPT Inline adapter terminal (Order
No. 1020304). You can directly align the Inline modules to the Inline adapter terminal.
Programming
The controllers can be configured and programmed in accordance with IEC 61131 using the
PLCnext Engineer automation software.
In addition or as an alternative to the programming languages specified in IEC 61131-3, you
can also use the C++ or MATLAB
®
Simulink
®
programming languages. The individual pro-
grams or program parts can be programmed in any development environment (e.g.,
Eclipse, Microsoft
®
Visual Studio
®
, etc.). These programs or program parts must then be
imported into PLCnext Engineer as a library.
Integrated Ethernet
interfaces
The AXC F 1152 and AXC F 2152 controllers feature two switched Ethernet interfaces for
TCP/IP / UDP/IP communication within the Ethernet network.
The AXC F 3152 controller features three independent Ethernet interfaces for TCP/IP /
UDP/IP communication within the Ethernet network.
PROFINET controller/
device functionality
The PROFINET protocol can be used via the Ethernet interfaces of the controllers. In this
case, the controller can be used as a PROFINET controller or PROFINET device, depend-
ing on the configuration.
