eAce — EMBEDDED ACE PLC

Ace controls your product. eAce becomes part of it.

eAce is the embedded version of the Ace PLC—giving you the same Ace control platform in a form designed to integrate directly into your hardware. Choose a standard Ace for conventional machine wiring, or eAce when you want the same control platform integrated directly into your hardware.

FROM PLC TO PRODUCT

From PLC to product

Build your control system

Choose the Ace configuration your machine needs and develop the complete control application.
Choose your production architecture

Keep Ace as the production controller, or choose eAce when tighter packaging, reduced wiring, or custom electronics make integration worthwhile.
Integrate when it makes sense

eAce brings the same control platform into your custom motherboard alongside the circuitry unique to your product.

Customer example

DUVALL ESPRESSO

Espresso equipment built around eAce.

Duvall Espresso developed the machine’s water flow, heating, buttons, lights, and touchscreen communication with the Ace control platform. eAce integrates that same control system into the custom motherboard alongside the circuitry unique to the espresso equipment.

The eAce Advantage

Proven control, integrated into the product.

eAce supplies the Ace processing, I/O, motion, and communications core on the board. Relays, fuses, power interfaces, field connections, and circuitry unique to the espresso system live on the custom motherboard around it.

Same Ace controls Develop the control application on the Ace platform
Reuse the control project Keep the same vBuilder project across Ace and eAce
Design only what is unique Add protection, power interfaces, connectors, and custom circuitry

Drag to rotate

Same Ace. Different connection.

Ace and eAce provide the same control hardware and run the same vBuilder project. The difference is how they connect to your system: Ace provides field-wiring terminals; eAce uses board-level headers to plug directly into your hardware.

Model selection

Choose the eAce that matches your Ace.

Ace and eAce models share the same control configurations. Choose the eAce that matches the I/O, analog, temperature, and communications requirements of your application, then use the current eAce datasheet when designing your motherboard.

HARDWARE INTEGRATION

Design eAce into your hardware.

1 — Select your eAce

Choose the eAce configuration that provides the I/O, communications, sensing, and motion capabilities your machine requires.

2 — Design your motherboard

Integrate the eAce headers into your PCB and add the relays, fuses, connectors, power distribution, and application-specific circuitry your product needs.

3 — Build and verify

Assemble the system, verify the electrical design, and test the complete machine with your production hardware.

SAME DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOW

Same vBuilder project. Different hardware integration.

Standard Ace and eAce use the same vBuilder programming environment. Move between the two hardware formats without changing PLC platforms or rebuilding your control application around a different controller.
