Process control: innovative, editable, flexible – free of IPC

Flexibility of a large system for small installations

Part of our process control is a freely editable recipe management, which enables you to create new recipes or change existing ones at any time – without any knowledge of programming. The specially developed recipe wizard supports the user and guides them through the recipe creation process step-by-step. The wizard provides an option for creating all the necessary steps and then selecting and parameterising the elements required for each step. Or alternatively, you can use an existing recipe as a template.

 

As soon as you have loaded a recipe into the controller and started it, the step chain visualisation makes sure that you always keep the individual processes in view. Selecting the respective step allows you to view all the parameters and edit them live. For each step, appropriate symbols indicate which transitions (transition conditions) have already been met for starting the next step.

 

Changes can be made for future steps, but also for ones that are already running, so that you can make all short-term adjustments needed at any time. If these optimisations are already tried-and-tested, our system offers an option to incorporate the adjustments into the original recipe at the end of the process. This eliminates the need to transfer the parameters you have changed manually, which saves you time and money.

 

The software also allows you to log all recipe adjustments and operator interventions. You can document the sequence of steps, and any error messages. This means information does not get lost and you always have your system under control.

 

All of these functions are available to you even though no industrial PC is used. Instead, we use durable, industry-standard control systems. In contrast to the PC version, you do not need to perform any Windows updates, which means there are no compatibility problems with the control software. The software can run on the PLC without any need for intervention for several years. It goes without saying that add-ons or adjustments can still be made at any time though. Our process control system even allows you to run test recipes on small systems, so nothing stands in the way of new ideas.

 

 

From A to Z - Our system always fits

The potential uses for our process control and the industries in which it is used are just as diverse as its functions:

 

Possible applicatons:	Sectors:
CIP systems (Cleaning in Place) flash pasteuriser systems (pasteurisation) filtration systems fermentation control (fermentation processes) yeast propagation systems degassing systems individual process control in brewing (e.g. mashing, lautering, etc.) bulk material conveyance and processing conveyance and further processing of liquids mixing systems temperature control	dairies breweries wine producers beverage producers (soft drinks and mineral water) spirits producers food producers (vinegar, dressings, sauces etc.) pharmaceutical industry producers of non-food products (motor oils, liqzid detergents, fabric softeners) etc.

Unique visualisation in the style of an app

Thanks to the creativity of our developers, the visualisations and control options will remind you of an app. Self-explanatory icons combined with easy operation and a simple and clear layout provide the user with a rapid overview. The clear layout and the colours used support the operation of the system and ensure that the training period for every operator remains short. What is more, complex correlations or problems that arise can be quickly recognised and interpreted.
