Interfaces to Machines and
Plants |
|
|
|
The seamless integration into the production
environment is an important factor of efficiency, acceptance
and ergonomy of BDE systems. Numerous machines, plants, scales
or other peripherals are equipped for an automatic collection
and storage of process and operations data. HYDRA comprises
a number of technical possibilities to take over these data
directly:
|
|
- Machine interfaces for the capture of machine cycles
(piece counter) and of operation and status signals that
allow the detection of technical problems
- Machine interfaces for the pick-up of analog signals
like temperature, pressure, number of revolutions or
speed
- Data interfaces (RS485 oder V.24) communicating directly
with the machine controls in NC machines, treatment centers,
packing lines or injection moulding machines
- Functional modules for the integration of industrial
bus systems, like e.g. Euromap 63 (in combination with
the blow moulding machines of the companies Engel, Demag
und Krauss Maffei), Suconet, H1, Data Highway or the
data bus of MOOG PLCs in blow moulding machines from
Uniloy Milacron
- Complex interfaces for the communication with data
acquisition systems of various suppliers (e.g. Arburg
ALS or Engel EMS).
- The HYDRA Production Data Manager that can take over
data from almost any other data collection system, via
an interface with configuration possibility
|
 |
HYDRA ensures a complete takeover of data and allows to do
away with manual entries, costly and error prone, by machine
operators and setup personnel. In addition the data interfaces
may be used to transfer machine parameters, NC programs
and other data to the machine control centers, to visualize
drawings and photographs or to print out required documents
on printers.
