The RT200 Control System with integrated OPC UA server now provides maximum flexibility for digitalization within the production process. The system offers remote monitoring, support, and digital process-optimization in the temperature control of food processes.

 

The central concept of digitalization is data exchange of all the process and machine data across the network and to higher-level IT systems such as MES, ERP, and PPS.

 

All peripheral machines, devices, and systems involved in the production process communicate with one another. This enables real-time process optimizations leading to higher productivity, reduced downtime, optimized machine capacity, and improved product quality.

Overview

  • Each temperature control unit has an inbuilt OPC UA server which means limitless utility in terms of data exchange and communication.
  • Maximum flexibility when using appliances in plants using machines from different manufacturers which support OPC UA.
  • The physical connection is based on an Ethernet patch cable which enables "Plug & Play". An integrated 2-port switch enables straightforward series connection (Daisy-Chain) for simplified cabling in the case of multiple temperature control units.
  • The RT200 control system has an integrated standard WLAN which enables wireless OPC UA communication. The temperature control unit can automatically connect with a WLAN Access Point in the Smart Factory.
  • A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the temperature control unit, whether via wired LAN or WLAN.
  • The same network connection (LAN or WLAN) enables the display to be operated fully "remotely" (HTML5 technology) in a browser. E.g. the appliance can be fully remotely controlled via WLAN from a tablet. There is no need to remove the display from the appliance for remote control.
  • A state-of-the-art machine controller with HTML5 Browser technology can display the graphics and enable full remote operation of the temperature control unit.
