CoBox for Ethernet

The CoBox network module makes all PS4 and PS416 controllers Ethernet and WEB-enabled. The integrated WEB server makes it possible to provide an Intranet and Internet interface with an independent IP address.

With the CoBox, event-driven data exchange can be implemented between controllers. Each PS4 controller can operate as the master on the bus and send data if necessary to any other PLC.

Features

  • Universal “Device Server” for Ethernet with TCP/IP and UDP protocol
  • Interfaces:
    On the PLC: either RS 232 or RS 485
    On the Ethernet: 10 Base-T, 10 MBaud
  • Network interface integrated 10 BaseT port (RJ 45 plug connector)
    • (separate hardware required optionally).

OPC Server

Virtually all SCADA, visualization and management systems support the OPC client-server interface. The PS4 - PS416 controllers equipped with OPC servers make the process data available to the OPC clients.

The OPC server supports data access via the serial interface and via Ethernet. This mode allows the PS4 CoBox, for example, to be automatically configured by the OPC server.

Data transfer to an individual Excel application is also possible. Each OPC server is able to process requests from several clients.

Different software packages can access the data of the OPC server in cases where, for example, data is to be used several times, for example by a visualization system or a database. For this, no manufacturer-specific conventions or additional implementations are required.

Messaging via SMS

System status information can be sent easily via SMS. For logging applications or for direct communication with the service technician.

The ready-made user modules offer you a full range of possibilities and allow you to be notified in good time of the operating status of the machine or plant in question.

Motion Control Toolbox

The Motion Control Toolbox is a powerful system module for positioning tasks.

It contains function such as:

  • Asynchronous point-to-point positioning
  • Incremental dimension positioning
  • Rotary axis positioning with optimized paths over the zero point
  • Electronic gears
  • Cam controllers

Closed-Loop Control Toolbox

Typical applications of the Closed-Loop Control Toolbox include dynamic autotuning closed-loop temperature controllers for packaging machines, extruder temperature controllers, fuzzy controllers for heaters and pressure and volume flow controllers.

It contains 100 function blocks:

  • A wide range of PID controllers
  • Fuzzy controllers
  • Autotuning controllers

The mathematical basis of the toolbox can be used to extend the functionality of the PS4 system. In this way, calculations such as trigonometric functions or interpolations can be run inside the PLC.

Telecontrol and remote signalling

Telecontrol with “safe” transmission features:

  • Telecontrol in compliance with IEC 870-5
  • Remote signalling using SMS messaging

Different sections of a system that are separated by long distances can be covered easily and “safely” with the PS4 Telecontrol Toolbox.

Moeller can offer hardware and software components for party lines, dial-up lines or wireless transmission/GSM connections to suit the system and transmission required.
