How our PLC software work
PLC (programmable-logic controller) is used to control production lines and machines. The PLC is a computer with a microprocessor that sends the correct information to the relevant machines in the line.
In a PLC system it is possible to program exactly what each machine on the production line has to do. A PLC system not only controls, but is also very suitable for signaling malfunctions. In combination with an HMI screen (touch panel), information from the PLC is easily displayed on the screen. For example, malfunctions can be visualized for inspection. The production line can also be operated from the HMI screen. This allows the versatile and swift adjustment of settings to ensure that the production process runs smoothly, efficiently and quickly.
Application of our PLC software
PLC systems are integrated into every production process we deliver. PLC systems provide secure and reliable control processes in the agri-food sector, the logistics sector, the recycling and bulk sector. It is the brain of a production line. For instance, it controls the weighing by forwarding scanned barcodes or bring the sieving process to a halt when the collection container is full.
Advantages of our PLC software
The advantages of an PLC software are:
- Remote service is possible;
- Data is visualized on an HMI screen;
- The HMI screen easy to understand;
- Remote I/O equipment;
- Easy integration with your system;
- State of the art communication protocols (profinet, TCP/IP).
