Berghof - Modular Controllers
The B-Nimis MC-Pi range is a family of modular, Raspberry Pi-based CODESYS PLCs engineered for industrial automation. Built on Berghof's coordinated hardware and software platform, each controller delivers real-time performance across a scalable set of interfaces and connectivity options — from compact entry-level deployments through to full multi-protocol, motion control applications. The range is completed by a suite of EtherCAT I/O expansion modules for tailored, application-specific configuration.
