Our programmable modular controllers
Programmable, Modular and Ready for the real world
GOcontroll was founded in 2011 to solve a common challenge in product development: the lack of flexible and user-friendly control hardware that starts with the prototyping phase. While prototyping is crucial, most available solutions are either too rigid or require deep hardware expertise.
From a practical need, we created a platform of programmable modular controllers, designed to accelerate development, simplify integration, and adapt as your project evolves. Each engineer knows that during a first concept phase, requirements can change. Just define the IO’s and communication you need, plug dedicated hardware modules into the controller, wire it up, and you’re ready to go.
Configuration is fast and intuitive. With a graphical interface, every I/O can be set up without writing a single line of code.
Moduline Controller Family
One platform, multiple form factor, tailored to your application.
All GOcontroll controllers share the same core philosophy: programmable, modular, and built for use in demanding environments. What sets them apart is form factor, I/O capacity, and performance so you can choose exactly what fits your project.
