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
