Industrial Automation Applications
PIP10 controls bottle fueling system
- UK
- For system manufacturer, specialized in process automation, food & beverage
- PIP10 used in combination with multiple "customer specific" profibus master cards
- Uses Windows XP and softPLC to control the plant
- Flexibility and Reliability were the key in this product
Router for field data to supervise System for power plants
- Italy
- PIPs acquire data from the field (PLC) and send them to the Supervisory Computer
- System works with redundancy (data reliability and integrity)
- Key point: flexibility of the PIP (internal expansion), reliability, long-term availability, same product after years
Control of automatic wire cutter
- Switzerland
- Embedded CPU board with CAN interface for communication
- Control of a STN monochrome LCD
- Ethernet and USB for future use
- Use of Windows CE.NET
- Short interrupt latency needed for Realtime purposes
Process control of welding machine
- Switzerland
- Control of electric-resistance-welding
- Microprocessor board with MC6809
- Long-term Relation
Industrial Control for printing press
- USA
- AO/OA-IO to control power supplies for very sensitive voltage outputs
- Runs under Windows CE.NET
- Special SPI drivers required
- Requires long-term availability
Control of blind seal loader
- Switzerland
- Rugged industrial environment
- Minimum 50 digital IO's
- CAN interface for motor control
- Ethernet for communication with PC
- Use of Linux OS
Fermentation Process Controller
- Denmark
- MIP520 PC/104 module
- The MIP520 was chosen mainly because of small size, low power consumption, high MTBF, and professional Linux support from MPL
