CB380 (CUBLOC Core module)

CUBLOC is an embedded controller platform that supports BASIC programming and Ladder Logic execution at the same time. This dual-language approach makes it easy to combine PLC-style I/O control with flexible program logic, all within a compact module.

The CUBLOC Core Module is designed to be installed directly onto a custom PCB, similar to mounting a standard MCU. By integrating the CPU, memory, and runtime environment into a single module, developers can shorten development time and build application-specific control boards with confidence.

This architecture is ideal for OEM products, industrial control equipment, and custom automation systems that require reliable control logic, predictable behavior, and straightforward I/O handling. With on-chip multitasking, you can run Ladder Logic for real-time control while using BASIC for data processing, sequencing, communications, or user-defined functions.

FAQ

Q: My friend says they don’t understand why CUBLOC is so expensive.

A: If you look at CUBLOC purely as an MCU and a circuit board, it can certainly seem expensive. However, the real value of CUBLOC is not the hardware alone, but the firmware inside it—which functions much like a built-in RTOS.

This firmware was originally developed by experts over 20 years ago and has been continuously maintained, patched, and improved ever since. It is a well-managed, production-proven software platform designed specifically to ensure that your BASIC and ladder logic run reliably.

The firmware handles critical system tasks such as communication management, multitasking, scheduling, and memory management. These are complex problems that users would otherwise need to solve themselves.

In other words, the price of CUBLOC reflects the value of this mature, professionally maintained software, not just the cost of the hardware.
