The GOcontroll Moduline series delivers unmatched flexibility, making it the ultimate programmable controller for industries requiring custom embedded control.

Modern control challenges demand adaptive, scalable solutions. That’s where GOcontroll’s Moduline series excels. These embedded programmable controllers offer a modular platform tailored for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and R&D applications, no advanced coding required. Whether you’re designing custom electronics or iterating a prototype, GOcontroll bridges the gap between idea and implementation.

A programmable controller, also known as a PLC or embedded controller, forms the backbone of any intelligent automation system. GOcontroll takes this concept further with Moduline, a family of modular programmable controllers engineered for harsh environments and flexible deployment.

With controller series like the Moduline IV, Moduline Mini I, and Moduline Display, users get:

• Up to 8 customizable IO modules
• Rugged platform for use in harsh environments
• Embedded Linux OS with Simulink and Node-RED support or native C-programming
• Out of the box connectivity: CAN, LIN, Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE

What sets GOcontroll apart is how easily the controllers adapt to unique applications:

• Insert modules for analog/digital IO, 4-20mA sensors, power bridges, or custom functions
• Deploy software wirelessly (FOTA)
• Configure visually via several software tools like MATLAB and Node-RED

All of this makes GOcontroll’s programmable controller ideal for fields like:

• Smart agriculture
• Electric drivetrain control
• Predictive maintenance systems
• Remote data collection/monitoring
• Versatile control systems (like fuel cell control, vehicle body electronics etc.)

GOcontroll’s mission is clear: make programmable controllers accessible. The controller’s software stack includes:

• MATLAB Simulink blocksets for visual programming
• Node-RED for intuitive flow-based design
• Custom Linux services for auto shutdown, Bluetooth management, remote updates
• Realtime dashboard using XCP protocol. (HANtune)

Each controller boots in seconds and is ready for integration with cloud dashboards or local HMIs. Through Node-RED and HANtune, real-time visualization of sensor values and system state is possible. This is critical for use cases like off-grid monitoring or mobile diagnostics.

When using the GOcontroll Moduline programmable controller, you benefit from other out of the box features:

• Connectivity, wired or sireless
• OTA updates on the programmable controller
• GOcontroll app enables Bluetooth-based setup and monitoring

GOcontroll proves that a powerful programmable controller doesn’t have to be complicated.

What truly elevates the GOcontroll Moduline above traditional programmable controllers is its modular architecture with local interface processing. Each controller isn’t just a blank slate—it’s a smart programmable controller that expands with your project.

Here’s how it works:

• Every Moduline controller (IV, Mini I, or Display I) contains multiple slots—up to 8 for Moduline IV, 4 for Mini I, and 2 for Display I.
• You plug in dedicated IO modules for analog inputs, digital outputs, PWM, 4-20mA sensors, or even power bridges.
• Each module comes with its own microcontroller, handling signal processing locally, reducing the load on the application CPU.

This localized processing enables:

• High-frequency data sampling (Analog and digital) up to 1 kHz or more without CPU bottlenecks
• Noise filtering and signal conditioning at the module level
• Real-time control responses with minimal latency
• No scalability restrictions when high frequency processing is required

Modular Benefits at Scale
Whether you’re building a one-off prototype or deploying a fleet of smart vehicles, Moduline programmable controllers lets you standardize your platform while customizing functionality per application.

You can:

• Start with just 1–2 modules and scale up later
• Swap or reconfigure modules without rewriting your base code
• Run different module setups across multiple products while keeping the same programmable controller architecture

The result? A highly efficient and reusable control platform that grows with your product roadmap.

With real-time feedback loops, smart diagnostics, and high sampling fidelity, the GOcontroll programmable controller delivers industrial-grade precision in a plug-and-play format.
