Eurotherm has launched the Maco Compact control system, a scalable, integrated system that offers total machine control for virtually any process variable.
Maco offers a range of control options, including closed-loop parison process control, clamp control, linear positioning control of machine or auxiliary functions, pressure/flow control, auto-tuned temperature control, sequential machine control and built-in timing and counting.
Manufacturers can operate the system on their preferred HMI with several keyboard options, from touchscreen only to full numeric keypad, with a display that supports in-depth process trending data, custom machine graphics, text displays, alarm messages and SPC control charts.
The systems includes a Strong Arm 200MHz processor, running on a Microsoft Windows CE.net operating system with standard Ethernet communications and enhanced Optigrafix screen editor for multi-language screens (including Asian characters).
Features include: 100-point parison profile with graphic entry and display of the profile 100 point velocity pushout control; display comparison of actual tooling performance to entered profile; separate weight and die gap settings; high-speed loop closure (0.1ms); logic execution more than 2.0ms; cycle-to-cycle data logging; RLD viewer.
A version of the Maco Compact is also available utilising an Optima PC with Wonderware Intouch software.
