A next-generation machine controller built for advanced applications
Overview
The ESX.4cs-gw is a compact, modern-designed fourth generation control unit from STW. As a freely programmable communications gateway, it not only offers controller capabilities, but can also operate as a communications hub for the entire onboard vehicle network. With multiple ethernet switch options available, it is ready for the latest in high-speed machine peripherals.
Programming
The ESX.4cs-gw controller supports programming in C language and IEC61131-3 languages. Application development is done using openSYDE paired with logi.CAD. Learn more about application development for 4 Series Controllers here.
