Controls: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Best practice: high system availability at STIHL

Unplanned downtimes due to software errors in control systems are a thing of the past at STIHL: thanks to the versiondog data management system, the data jungle is kept in order. The current PLC program versions and important system documentation are stored centrally on an internal versiondog server. In the event of errors in production or control system failures, the data is immediately available and can be corrected or restored.

Electromechanical solutions

For complex movements

The electromechanical solutions that Moog will be presenting at SPS include customizable servo motors and controllers, electro-hydraulic and linear motion technologies and technologies for large rotating machines.

Process and program controller

Many new functions

Jumo has expanded the functional scope of the Dicon touch process and program controller with numerous new features. Comprehensive regulation and control tasks can now be implemented via 4 instead of the previous 2 control channels.

Intelligent pincer systems

It's all in the knot

Tox Pressotechnik's modular gun system already contains the control unit as a central component. Now the intelligent bus node ZVK has been added as a component. It supplies sensor-based data to the multi-technology controller, allowing systems for predictive maintenance to be set up, for example.

Plug connector

Printed circuit board signal transmissions

TE Connectivity (TE) has expanded its AMPMODU connector system to include PCB connectors with a 2 mm pitch.

Digital control system

Improves the quality of PET bottles

To optimize the parameters of stretch blow molders, KHS and Agr International have developed the Mold Control unit. This digital process control system, which is connected to the KHS control system, regulates the respective blow molding stations individually.

Sustainable alternative drives

Key components for the fuel cell

The irregular availability of renewable energies requires new energy sources and electricity storage technologies. Schaeffler has recognized the enormous potential of hydrogen technology as an energy source of the future and has developed key components for fuel cells and fuel cell stacks, so-called metallic bipolar plates.

Edge computing

A new approach to the convergence of industrial technology and IT

The major cloud providers have now also recognized that a large proportion of IT will not be located in data centers in the future. However, the promise of end-to-end edge-to-cloud environments will only be fulfilled if a convergence of industrial and information technology is established at the edge.

All-in-one controller

Integrating compact applications into the IoT

Programmable micro PLCs support data acquisition and machine-to-machine communication. A wider temperature tolerance range increases the reliability of special applications.
