SP5000 can store maintenance and a variety of other tools. To perform maintenance, you used to have to bring a PC, open the control panel, look for the controller and connect a cable. Lack of space to even put the computer down meant that you frequently debugged with the PC on your lap. With SP5000, the HMI usually used as a control terminal serves the role of a PC at times to reduce workload during maintenance. You can also combine with the Pro-face Remote HMI to remotely monitor and control applications. To monitor using a tablet, for example, you can start the HMI screen with a PLC program tool.

Mounted with 2 Ethernet ports, SP5000 makes network segmentation simple. Different IP addresses can be configured for each port, enabling safety to be secured before construction of the network system. For example, installing SP5000 between office and factory networks helps utilization of both the big data continuously increasing at the production site as control devices get faster, and the continuously increasing big data on the office side of production control.
