Controls and automation systems

Always in perfect control

With the help of an appropriate control system, the extrusion equipment becomes even more cost-efficient. A new generation of control systems has been developed, incorporating the latest trends and developments in the field of personal computers (PCs) and programmable logic controls (PLC).
battenfeld-cincinnati automation systems are designed for a wide range of applications from single extruders to complex extrusion lines. The systems contain the complete sequencing logic, temperature control as well as standardized interfaces for the integration of intelligent sensors and downstream equipment. Several modules for process control and documentation support an optimal production process.

Our features:
  • Industrial PC with WindowsXP embedded© operating system
  • Highly robust 2 GB industrial grade compact flash disk
  • Fast-Ethernet interface
  • Swiveling and tilting operator station
  • Support of latest available hardware and software
  • Excellent virus protection by integrated write-protection mechanism on system partition
  • USB “Plug & Play” support (mass storage devices, modem, mouse, printers)
  • Standardized OPC data access (optional)

Your benefits:
  • Modern and clearly arranged user interface
  • State-of-the-art self-tuning temperature control algorithm
  • Highest availability due to true multi-processor control and write-protected machine program
  • Proven Controller Area Network (CAN) field bus technology for sensors, drives, co-extruders and up- and downstream connection
  • Remote-servicing and remote-control via direct modem connections, local area network (LAN) or Internet connections
