As the market leader in control technology for Powertrain solutions, we have already been able to underline our system competence for automation solutions in numerous projects. Our customers include all the leading automobile manufacturers worldwide.
Our worldwide service, sound advice, excellent training, and the fact that you are always dealing with an experienced, reliable partner, are further good reasons for contacting us.
Distributed, digital control and drive concept.
Solutions for Powertrain TRANSLINE sl support distributed configurations on a digital basis.
Distributed configurations mean, in particular, lower costs thanks to standardization, fast commissioning, and service-friendly and maintenance-friendly machines.
Optimized integration of hardware and software.
This means that you can achieve an optimal automation solution for all control tasks. From the the simple PLC unit to the integrated high-speed machining module.
The uniform design of SINUMERIK and SIMATIC S7-300 makes it easy to expand the system on the modular principle.
Standardized software structures and communication via PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet.
All PLCs can be programmed using graphical programming methods such as S7-Graph. This permits uniform PLC and CNC diagnostics at main operator panels and unit operator panels.
For operators and machine manufacturers, we offer a transparent graphical user interface on our Solutions for Powertrain TRANSLINE sl HMI operator panels.
The stations communicate via Industrial Ethernet or PROFINET.
Connections to control systems are made using Industrial Ethernet interfaces. Interfacing to the management level is ensured when using this industrial standard.
The Motion Control Information System MCIS function blocks and the ePS Network Services can be used within the scope of this concept without any problems.
Benefits
- Standardized protocol
- Start-up, diagnostics, data backup options
- Direct coupling of
- SINUMERIK and SIMATIC S7
- ET 200 distributed I/O
- AS-Interface components
Selected components from the SIMATIC, SINUMERIK, and SINAMICS system families.
To keep spare parts inventories as small as possible and therefore to minimize the costs for maintaining a stock of spare parts for the machine user, selected components from the SIMATIC, SINUMERIK and SINAMICS system families are used.
Standardized control units significantly reduce the processing time.
With Solutions for Powertrain TRANSLINE sl, you can configure an automation solution that matches your task precisely.
For machine manufacturers, the benefits are:
- Lower configuring costs and shorter project engineering times
- The option of prefabrication
- Considerably lower cabling outlay and therefore enhanced reliability of wiring and operational reliability
- Shorter start-up times thanks to advanced commissioning and commissioning of smaller units in parallel for greater transparency.
Conclusion:
The time taken to complete a project is considerably reduced.
Economical production thanks to higher availability.
If you are a machine operator, a distributed configuration will allow you to significantly increase the availability and productivity of your production lines and therefore to improve their efficiency.
This is achieved by:
- Fast localization of sources of error, since all components are designed according to a uniform standard
- Service-friendliness and maintenance-friendliness through simple, recurring programs
- Shorter start-up and acceptance times thanks to modular software
- Shorter machine training times
- Reduced, cost-cutting stocking of spare parts
