Read MoreDigitalized conveyor lines are an effective method to meet-changing customer requirements with support for flexible scaling. If these conveyor lines are additionally required to operate with a high availability, an efficient digitalization strategy is indispensable. The current trend to develop from centralized controlled and driven conveyor lines to the direct deployment of distributed control modules and roller drives on site.
Future-oriented conveyor technology can be modularized the following devices – I/O modules with integrated MDR control functionality via CAN – 24V and 48V power supplies with IP67 protection and M1 power connectors – Ethernet switches with IP20 or IP67 protection – Safety controllers with IP67 protection
How can the flexibility, scalability, and availability of convey technology be increased?
Modular and digital
- Modular conveyor lines with a distributed control concept and without control cabinets ensure easy scaling, short cycle times, and availability of the system.
- The end-to-end digitization of conveyor technology makes it possible to capture state data, access sensors/actuators, andibly control them – for example, zero pressure accumulation conveyor.
Tubular motor controller TBEN-LL-4RMC
- I/O modules with for multiprotocol Ethernet technology can control 4 CAN tubular motors locally and integrate sensors and actuators simultaneously via the universal DXP port.
- The IP67 supply with 24V and 48V power, M12 power connectors, and plug-in connectors allows convenient design and manufacturing of modularized conveyor technology modules
Predictive maintenance through condition monitoring
- Obtain condition monitoring data such as current consumption, speed, or running time on the motor and evaluate it in your own or in the TAS cloud.
- Continuous process data monitoring and optimization allow for predictive maintenance and guarantee high reliability, low costs, and maximum availability.
II service platform TAS (Turck Automation Suite)
- TAS simplifies the update management of motors and the commissioning of Turck devices in industrial Ethernet networks (includingGEE, BEEP, Codesys) and IO-Link applications.
- The TAS cloud supports continuous monitoring, cloud storage and processing, and programming and tracking of maintenance plans.
