FL8 Motion PLC
Motion controller platform for IEC61131-3/Codesys machine control, EtherCAT and industrial communications.
Engineering selection, not blind model matching.
This page separates published product information from project-specific engineering advice. Final ordering code depends on the full suffix, controller, protocol, mounting, quantity and destination.
Complete selection classification
Use this table for pre-selection. Confirm the latest official FLEXEM datasheet before ordering.
| Programming | Codesys / IEC61131-3 environment |
|---|---|
| Motion bus | EtherCAT |
| Other networks | CANopen · Ethernet · serial depending on configuration |
| Data protocols | OPC UA · Modbus; MQTT / Profinet integration depends on architecture |
| Engineering focus | Axis count · cycle time · I/O · network topology · safety boundaries |
| Application | OEM machinery and multi-axis automation |
Important: published values may vary by exact model suffix. Product compatibility, certificates, mounting dimensions and accessories require final confirmation.

Selection questions
How many axes can I use?
Axis count and cycle requirements must be checked against the exact controller and machine program.
Can FL8 replace a Siemens PLC directly?
Not as a blind drop-in replacement; program architecture, I/O, networks, safety and HMI drivers require migration engineering.
What should I send for selection?
Cycle time, axis count, servo protocol, I/O list, controller network and machine process.
Need price, lead time or compatibility confirmation?
Send the exact model / current installed model, quantity, controller/protocol and destination. We verify first, then quote.
