PC-based control heeft machineontwerp blijvend veranderd
PC-based control heeft machineontwerp blijvend veranderd, niet alleen door hogere performance, maar vooral door automatisering software gedreven te maken. In Industrial Plant & Equipment Magazine (IP&E) blikken we terug op de vroege Beckhoff controller die brak met de traditionele, gesloten PLC architecturen. Die stap richting open, schaalbare en geïntegreerde systemen vormt nog steeds de basis van moderne machinebouw.
Waar moet die extra IPC nog passen?
Iedereen die ooit een overvolle schakelkast heeft geopend, kent het gevoel: waar moet die extra IPC nog passen? Onze collega Felix Wildemann (productmanager) laat in de video zien hoe de C60xx series precies daar het verschil maakt. Vier compacte IPC lijnen, elk met hun eigen kracht. Lees verder en bekijk de…
Digitalisering hoeft geen miljoenenproject te zijn
Veel procesinstallaties hebben al waardevolle HART informatie in het veld, alleen niemand leest ’m uit. De EL6184 maakt die verborgen data direct beschikbaar, zonder downtime, zonder ombouw. Slimmer, niet groter. Lees hier meer over de EL6184
