• An Intuitive design workflow for global administration of complete architecture.
• A consistent update of the logical network view with automatic IP address assignment allows you to update a project easily, reducing engineering, maintenance, and total lifecycle costs.
• As an Industrial Control System Software, it increases operational efficiency and quality, reduces waste, and decreases engineering costs.
• Deploy a configuration in one click, use animation tables, operator screens, and ready-to-use device DDTs, to monitor and diagnose your system efficiently.

PAC to PAC communications broaden your capabilities:

• The READ_REMOTE and WRITE_REMOTE Communication Function Blocks allow variable exchange between M580 and M340 Programmable Logic Controllers using variable names.
• Local Slaves are configured in the Topology Manager, and consistency is verified.

EcoStruxure Control Expert facilitates the integration of Fieldbus architectures into engineering control systems using FDT/DTM technology:

• FDT (Field Device Tool) is the container that supports the device DTMs.
• DTM (Device Type Manageˆ) is the configuration tool for devices with integrated graphic interfaces. It contains the properties specific to each device.

EcoStruxure Control Expert works in combination with other EcoStruxure and third-party software to bring increased efficiency throughout the system lifecycle, including:

• Modicon Libraries for quicker project development and configuration with ready-to-use blocks based on industry best practices.
• Design tools for seamless integration of control and supervision with EcoStruxure Control Expert – Asset Link.
• Software engineering tools for improved code quality, quicker modernization, and facilitated lifecycle management with EcoStruxure Control Engineering and third-party version management tools.
