Hardy bereikt Premier Integration met Rockwell Automation PLC's

Hardy Process Solutions heeft het hoogste niveau aan weeg-integratie bereikt met Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® en CompactLogix® systemen, met een combinatie van connectiviteit aan de uitgangszijde van de apparatuur of via een draadverbinding, en integratie-tools. Door gebruik te maken van een combinatie van Add-on profielen (AOP's), EDS-AOP's, HMI frontzijden met add-on instructies, en voorbeeldprogramma's/functieblokken wordt een synergistische methodologie gegenereerd voor een GEMAKKELIJKE en naadloze integratie voor het wegen met Rockwell PLC's en PAC's via RSLogix® en Studio 5000®.

De toevoeging van ControlLogix en CompactLogix plug-in weegmodules aan een Rockwell Automation PLC/PLC is net zo gemakkelijk als het vastklikken van de modules aan de achterplaat. Gewichtsdata via een oorspronkelijke I/O-poort aan de achterplaat communiceren is snel en deterministisch, met een zo kort mogelijke regelings-terugkoppeling en zonder netwerkvertragingen. Hardy weegregelaars, weegprocessoren en -transmitters worden ook per kabel aangesloten via een standaard Ethernet router/schakelaar aan een standaard Ethernet card in de PLC, met communicaties via het EtherNet/IP-protocol dat is gecertificeerd voor ODVA level 3 of level 1.

Ter vergemakkelijking van de integratie biedt Hardy ook voorbeeld-programma's aan, functieblokken en Ladder Logic voor PLC's die niet zijn gebaseerd op Logix, zoals de Micro800. Deze tools zijn ook ontworpen om de integratie van weegfuncties in andere productiesystemen te vergemakkelijken, die op Rockwell Automation zijn gebaseerd. 

Voor verdere productinformatie kunt u Hardy Faceplates/AOIs bezoeken. Om meer over de integratie van Hardy weegschaalmodules te ervaren kunt u een korte, informatieve YouTube video bekijken.

Stainless Steel IP69K Push Button Stations

The food and beverage industries can be challenging for even the most robust push buttons stations where high-pressure and caustic wash-downs can cause downtime. 

Responding to this challenge, Routeco introduces IP69K rated push button station solutions designed to:

• Minimise production loss due to cleaning procedures
• Minimise frequent replacement due to corrosion
• Minimise bacteria growth potential from crevices
• Provide UL Certified products for industrial panels

The Rockwell Automation 22.5mm push buttons represent an innovative rethinking of push button technology and its industrial applications. They use a potted piezoelectric circuit in an SAE grade 316 stainless-steel body and achieve an IP69K rating. The piezoelectric circuit detects pressure on the surface of the button to provide a momentary actuation signal with no moving parts. A smooth, crevice-free button surface is the result.

800K buttons are available in illuminated and non-illuminated versions. The illuminated buttons use a translucent light pipe to bring the red, green or white LED illumination to a ring on the crevice-free operating surface. Red illuminated buttons have a single normally-closed circuit while all other models are provided with a single normally-open circuit. The momentary contacts can be directly connected to a programmable controller or with an appropriate interposing relay.

Push Button Station Features and Benefits

IP69K Rating

• Protected against close-range high pressure, high temperature caustic wash
• Ideal for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and similar application environments

316 Stainless-steel Push Buttons

• Corrosion resistant to caustic wash-down solutions

Smooth, Crevice-free Enclosure and Push Button Surfaces

• Easier to clean 
• Minimizes areas in which contaminates can potentially be lodged 

No Moving Parts

• By using piezoelectric technology, moving seals and crevices can be eliminated from the push buttons, avoiding potential sources for failure

Potted Circuits

• Helps prevent fluids from corroding operator components
• Provides an additional barrier of protection

Custom Laser Push Button Engraving

• Avoids potentially contaminate trapping legend plates
• Provides flexibility to address a wide range of applications

What to Consider When Starting Your Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Journey – part one

The term ‘Industrial Internet of Things’ or IIoT seems to be everywhere at the moment! But what does it actually mean?

ProSoft Technology define it as: “The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is about intelligent devices like overloads, photo eyes, variable frequency drives, or PLCs providing data that we use to make our processes more efficient.” 

ProSoft have also looked at some of the ways old-school automation engineers are making use of IIoT concepts to improve their operations, and what considerations all of us should keep in mind.

Remote Monitoring and Equipment Access

• In the old days, remote access meant installing a serial modem connected to a dedicated phone line, so the machines made remote access-capable were limited to the most critical operations.
• What’s changed in the IIoT world is the proliferation of wireless connectivity, especially cellular networks and wireless LAN. Now, all that data deemed not important enough to transmit can be made available from remote sites.
• Remote access to industrial equipment has become more accessible for more people throughout the organisation.
• Finally, machine builders and control engineers responsible for widely dispersed global operations can build reliable connectivity into their systems without the need for custom infrastructure and integration at the end site.
• For mobile equipment, access is available just about anywhere the equipment goes. This simplifies the design and maintenance of the system, and enables the machine OEM to build high-value applications that make use of an “always connected” machine.

Machine and Process Control

• IIoT technology is not just about cellular connections to remote machines.
• Major automation vendors like Rockwell Automation have been offering industrial Ethernet connectivity for PLCs and related devices for more than a decade. Industrial Ethernet protocols like ODVA’s EtherNet/IPTM provide the kind of performance required for automation systems, while also enabling interoperability with the massive Internet Protocol-based network infrastructure found in virtually every organisation.
• Today’s automation engineers are taking advantage of the Internet Protocol-based industrial technologies to design more reliable networks for moving equipment.
• Wireless LAN products designed for the harsh industrial environment and optimised to handle protocols like EtherNet/IP allow engineers to eliminate the cost and downtime of frayed cables, yet still take advantage of high data rates and application-specific requirements like machine safety and time synchronisation.

Asset Mobility

• One area of automation where IIoT technology is creating new opportunities involves taking the network connection anywhere in the plant. 
• Old systems offered only so many places to “plug in.” 
• Automation systems are now benefiting from the same “network everywhere” mindset as our home and office environment. 
• Using industrial hotspots, control engineers can connect to the automation system easily from anywhere in the plant. The same wireless network allows maintenance applications running on smart phones or tablets to access and update equipment records, capture and store photos, and even help maintenance technicians troubleshoot machines. Operators and supervisors can view the status of a machine from anywhere, and even control the machine.

Part Two: Things to consider about how your system can fit into this new world of connected machines. Make sure you’re subscribed to our blog and the part two will go straight into your email inbox. The full whitepaper from ProSoft Technology can be found here.
