SCS System Overview
Standalone Application
Whether it is a compact machine with simple functionality or a system with multiple controlled axes, the different SCS base units offer the right solution for the specific task.
In combination with AUTOMATA operator panels or with integrated HMI devices the SCS systems allows a cost-effective all-inclusive solution.      

Distributed Intelligence
SCS modules support the advantages of control architecture with distributed intelligence:
  • faster production cycles by pre-assembled modules with own control units
  • more simple installation and setup by pre-tested modules
  • reduced R&D effort by re-use of software modules
Local I/Os The I/Os of a powerful control system need to be modular and adaptable to the requirements of the application.
SCS can be equipped with two different kinds of local I/O:
  • built in digital/analog I/O ; the unit with the controls systems also includes the hardware for a number of I/Os
  • extension unit with MODULbus modules; a separate box is directly hooked up to the control system. Up to four modules can be added.
Communication
A very demanding task for a control system is the communication- within the system and with the exterior world. SCS units therefore come with a CAN-Bus ‘on board’ and with an interface to all other field busses via the MODULbus modules :

  • CAN-Bus
  • Profibus-DP
  • SERCOS
  • Serial interfaces

Applications
SCS units have proven their reliability in various fields of applications already:
  • Wood working machines
  • Packaging industry
  • Material handling and transport
  • Machine tools
  • Injection moulding machines
  • Textile machines
