Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed control systems (DCSs) are essential control systems in industrial production today. They enable the control and automation of machinery and equipment, which increases productivity, reduces errors and improves safety at the workplace. While the PLC system is usually used to control a single machine or a single part of the production process, the distributed control system is used to control and monitor a broader range of machines and processes to ensure that the entire production process runs efficiently and reliably.
Weidmüller solutions for programmable logic controllers and distributed control systems for all common manufacturers such as Siemens, Honeywell, Emerson, ABB and Yokogawa not only ensure a smooth connection, but also reduce the amount of material and labor required for rewiring and retrofitting control systems. Our interfaces, which consist of standard connectors for connection to the system, matching PCB terminals for field connection and additional components, provide as an adapter between the system and field elements for clear structure in the control cabinet and without point-to-point wiring.
The comprehensive system offers connection solutions for all common PLC controls.
The compact PLC and DCS interface modules save valuable space in the control cabinet.
Retrofitting without adapting the field wiring of sensors and actuators level reduces 95% of the time required.

Download: Control System Migration – Siemens Moore APACS — This Weidmuller brochure details a universal migration platform for Siemens Moore APACS DCS systems, enabling upgrades without disturbing existing field wiring. It features 48-point card adapters, plug-and-play cable harnesses, and a workflow that allows conversions in hours instead of weeks while eliminating wire tracing.
Download: Migration Solutions — This Weidmuller catalog covers universal migration platforms for legacy control systems, including Siemens Moore APACS, Modicon Quantum, Allen-Bradley PLC‑5, and Honeywell IPC. It details card adapters and plug‑and‑play cable solutions that allow existing field wiring to remain in place, enabling DCS migrations in hours instead of weeks.
