Concept 02: Touch display – Central PLC – Control wiring – Fieldbus – Remote I/O

The use of touch displays and remote I/Os eliminates the need for complex wiring to the central PLC. For the first time the touch display offers a communication connection to an ERP system. A production manager on site is no longer required, since he can now access machine data remotely. Together with the fieldbus, remote I/Os replace complex machine cabling.
