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.

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
