PAC Controllers: M-series u-control M3000 & M4000

Expanding PLC Capabilities with Advanced Control & Edge Computing

PAC Controllers M3000 & M4000

Smart manufacturing demands fast, flexible, and future-ready computing. With Weidmuller’s M-Series Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), you get more than just a controller—you get a system that expands traditional PLC capabilities by seamlessly integrating real-time control, IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) convergence, and edge computing in a single device.

The M3000 and M4000 are designed to handle complex industrial automation tasks with multi-core processing, expanded memory, and ultra-fast data handling. Unlike traditional PLCs, these PACs feature an open, factory-installed operating system, delivering greater flexibility, scalability, and IIoT-ready functionality for modern automation environments.

Setup is effortless with universal USB-C connectivity, multiple Ethernet ports (2 or 4), and Weidmuller’s u-OS with CODESYS compatibility, ensuring a plug-and-play experience. From the factory floor to edge computing applications, the M3000 and M4000 redefine industrial automation with smarter, more efficient control.
