Intuitive operation with FDA-compliant stainless steel panel PC
AloisAllgaier believes that the advantages of PC control are not limited to control software in terms of system flexibility: "We can provide two handling modules with different control schemes on demand: on the one hand, this may be a modular system, in other words In other words, the module has its own embedded controller. On the other hand, the module can be used in the form of a component that is more deeply integrated in the packaging system and runs as software on the controller of the main packaging machine. Beckhoff's automation technology passes this Flexibility gives users a big advantage. The handling robot runs accordingly, either through its own HMI or through the packaging machine terminal."
The custom-designed CP7201 panel PC is designed with high-quality stainless steel and has a 12-inch touch screen that is used as a display and operator terminal with IP65 protection. The panel PC features the same hygienic design as the stainless steel servo motor. In other words, the housing is seamlessly designed with a flush-mounted touch panel. MULTIVAC's HMI 2.0 user interface makes it easy, intuitive and reliable to operate the handling module as well as the entire packaging machine. Plain text display, rich graphics and video sequences, 200 freely-distributed program presets, 36 available interface languages, and multi-level access management also help with intuitive, secure operations around the world.
