3.1 M3000 ® System Architecture
The M3000 ® automation system has the hardware and software structure
necessary for modular and flexible automation solutions with distributed intelligence.
The MSC II control module can use an Ethernet connection (LAN, company
network, peer-to-peer connection) to communicate with another controller,
development environment, or visualization package.

To create real time capable applications, even in distributed systems and to
give the application a better structure, M3000 ® can also be divided hierarchically.
�-"7.5-CAN Bus and CANopen" on page 55
WideCAN and LocalCAN are two equal, mutually independent CAN bus interfaces.
In a typical application they are used as follows:
• WideCAN can be used for networking of individual control groups or remote
modules. Usually, WideCAN is used for synchronization and data
exchange between the control groups and operating stations of a machine
or system.
�-"3.3.4-R-Modules (Remote Modules)" on page 19
�-"7.7.4-WideCAN Bus Groups" on page 67
In addition, the WideCAN network can integrate other components with
a CAN bus or CANopen interface, such as motor controllers, hydraulic
valves, and radial piston pumps.
• LocalCAN connects the DIN rail modules within a LocalCAN bus group
and, if applicable, the QEBUS-CAN to the connected LocalCAN bus
groups or CAN sensors/actuators.
