The AC 700F controller, as a member of Freelance, has numerous advantages over a PLC based solution: The hybrid process control system simplifies engineering, commissioning, and maintenance of the automation system. Visualization is directly incorporated into the engineering, making configuration particularly straightforward. Small or distributed plant components can now be implemented cost effectively by using AC 700F.

The competitive advantage is clear:
the same engineering, operation and maintenance method for all plant components hand in hand with the well-known ease of use of Freelance.
