The heart of every successful industrial setup isn't the machine itself—it's the control system that orchestrates everything. As the industrial landscape rapidly evolves, demanding seamless integration between IT and OT systems, your controllers need to be more than just fast; they need to be flexible, compact, and profoundly secure.
Enter the Weidmuller u-control series: a modular, high-performance family of controllers designed to empower everything from small, simple control tasks to massive, networked automation solutions. Get ready to implement the future of industrial automation.
If space is a premium but performance is non-negotiable, the u-control 2000 is your go-to.
Based on the highly compact design of the u-remote fieldbus coupler, this controller can literally replace the coupler on a one-to-one basis. This flexibility is huge for retrofits and upgrades! Despite its powerful capabilities, the u-control 2000 is incredibly space-saving, boasting a width of just 54 mm while still offering numerous connection options.
Crucially, it is fully compatible with Weidmüller’s robust u-remote I/O system, ensuring effortless integration. And for the modern industrial age, security is paramount. The "Security by Design" concept woven into the u-control 2000 gives you top-notch security from the ground up, providing much-needed peace of mind.

u-control M3000 & M4000
The line between traditional automation (OT) and information technology (IT) is blurring. Convergence is the trend, and the modular u-control M3000 and M4000 are engineered to lead the charge.
These modular control systems are perfect for complex industrial automation and cutting-edge IoT applications.
u-control M3000: This powerful controller seamlessly integrates automation solutions into the IoT. It serves brilliantly as an edge device, providing localized data processing and information directly in the network. It’s ideal for demanding IIoT applications and can be easily expanded with function modules.
u-control M4000: Need even more muscle for advanced edge computing? The M4000 steps up with two CPU cores (with the option of 4 cores), enhanced RAM, NV-RAM, and flash memory. This MultiCore technology allows for the independent installation of multiple runtime systems—giving you a truly high degree of freedom and flexibility.
Both systems leverage the open u-OS platform and offer optional extensions for additional interfaces like fieldbuses, Wi-Fi, and LTE.
u-Control WL2000
In modern IoT, being powerful means nothing if you aren't adaptable. The u-control WL2000 is one of the most compact and advanced controllers available today, serving as a dynamic centrepiece in Weidmüller’s hardware portfolio.
This unit features Dual-core technology, which is essential for separating real-time, mission-critical applications from non-time-critical background tasks. With 512 MB RAM, 4 GB flash memory, and space for a micro SD card up to 32 GB, it packs significant computing power into a small footprint.
Furthermore, its global readiness is confirmed by essential approvals like ATEX, IECEx, and DNV, making it perfect for deployment in diverse and challenging environments.
IoT Gateways
To truly capitalize on your automation investment, you must harness the data.
Weidmüller's IoT Gateways are your essential link, collecting machine data and providing access to field devices and controllers using various protocols. The magic happens in the data pre-processing, which is handled using the open Node-RED IoT standard.
Flexible Integration: Node-RED’s large community provides a wealth of ready-made solutions, simplifying IT integration.
Cloud Connectivity: Easily set up interfaces to major cloud solutions, including Azure, AWS, or IBM, or integrate with your own IT systems.
Remote Access: For location-independent system maintenance, you can integrate the gateway into the u-link Remote Access Service.
The u-control series offers scalable, high-performance, and secure solutions for the modern industrial environment. It’s not just hardware; it’s an open platform designed for the future of converged IT/OT systems.
