During the execution of a formulation recipe, the set of global parameters and product formulation parameters are applied to the master recipe to create a batch.
Software tracks asset condition
Proficy Change Management V5.8 is capable of version management audit trails, central storage and automated backup and recovery.
Linking to an open, non-PC based, touch-controlled HMI opens the possibilities for total control by the user, whether it be for recipe generation, fault finding or machine sequencing.
The digital control of servo motors, as used on all machine tool installations, comes as standard with the PM-iH through the fibre optic linked Fanuc Serial Bus System - FSSB.
Full ranges of 200V and 400V amplifiers, rare earth and ferrite magnet servo motors, torque motors and linear motors are available in either general purpose or high performance versions.
The in-built I/O of the Powermate iH is convenient and can be extended for specific applications.
As standard, each controller has a serial connection to I/O modules using GE Fanuc's I/O Link.
This allows 'plug and play' of a variety of I/O units with the PM-iH acting as a master or slave in such a network.
If required, Profibus-DP and DeviceNet options are available for connection to third-party proprietary modules.
Networking through Ethernet opens the door to factory-wide data collection and monitoring systems, while full support software enables creation and optimisation of the solution. Request free introductory details about products from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK ...
