SEALANT'S NEW CONTROL SYSTEM OFFERS TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL
PANEL WITH DeviceNet INTERFACE
Sealant Equipment & Engineering Inc.'s Next Generation
Control System is a user-friendly, distributed, modular
control system designed to integrate a dispensing system's
components with a robot or other forms of automation.
The system's architecture, DeviceNet, is an
open-network, device-level feedbus that links the various
system components and allows them to "talk" to one
another. This architecture is designed to bring the maximum
amount of information back to the system's Master Station for
monitoring and control, while maintaining optimal operation of
the actual hardware.
The Master Station combines an Operator
Interface and Control Panel through an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04,
a DeviceNet scanner, minimal local I/O, and an Allen-Bradley
PanelView touchscreen display.
Power distribution, servo motor control for
the meter, interface with robotics, crossover control for the
material supply pumps and temperature conditioning, pressure
or proximity sensors, customer interlocks, and other
miscellaneous field I/O are distributed as separate nodes
through the system.
