With the new, award-winning AC 900F controller, the Freelance DCS provides more power, speed and functionality than ever before.
ollowing years of experience in automation and control products, this newly released controller truly extends the hardware portfolio of the Freelance distributed control system (DCS).
The AC 900F controller consists of a CPU module, which is the main component. According to the application and requirements, fieldbus modules and I/O modules can be added to the controller. Optionally, AC 900F supports redundancy.
