Signaling systems
All processes under control
In the logistics center in Oppenweiler, Modlight70 signal towers from Murrelektronik ensure clear signaling and the Cube field bus system ensures effective and economical transmission of the required data.
When companies from the automation industry place an order with Murrelektronik, one cog in the logistics center in Oppenweiler meshes with the other. The ordered products are transported via conveyor belts to the picking and packing stations, and only a short time later they are neatly packed and sent to their destination. To ensure that the logistics processes run at full speed, all picking and packing stations are normally occupied; if an employee takes a break, a colleague ("jumper") immediately takes over his or her tasks. If there is a shortage of packaging material, an "internal logistician" takes care of this so that no bottlenecks occur.
In the past, it was possible to get an overview of who was currently working where on a board installed in the logistics center, and individual signal towers served as status displays for individual areas. Practical modules with a direct Modlight signal connection are used to integrate the actuators into the Cube67 system. These "Cube Cable Modules" are equipped with a 1.5 meter long connection cable, the 8-pin M12 connection is attached directly to the signal tower. The individual connection modules are in turn connected to a system cable via which both the signal and the power are transmitted.
The Modlight70 signal towers can be assembled modularly from a connection element and several colored LED modules with a diameter of 70 millimeters using a bayonet catch. sw
