Introduction control
Because purple just performs better
One brand and one automationplatform for all installations in all markets: the AutoStage2000. This allows to have one operator for all installations or to choose for more operators supported by the multi/user features in combination with the advantage having an integrated control system allowing useful functions like interlocks.
The automationplatform with SIL3, CE, UL and CSA certification, has three main layers: operate, control and servo. Since all nodes are networked we offer a real time online remote service.
The first layer OPERATE, can be devided in 3 sublayers: Composer, Piccolo and Remote, for large, middle and small installations. Look and feel for all units is identical.
The second layer, CONTROL, can be devided in 2 sublayers: PC and IPC server. The PC server enables multi user functionality and remote service. The IPC server or double IPC for SIL3 level is the real time safety control for all axis, desks and estops.
The third layer is the SERVO control. Each axis has one servo for electro motor or hydraulics. In this layer we also find the on/off control or rigging box specially developped for chainhoists. Last but not least are the system cables with connectors allowing a rapid fitup and 100% factory acceptance test.
