PLC Connectivity:
The P7000 offers PLC Connectivity, enabling integration with Profinet and Ethernet IP via a dedicated gateway. Users can remotely control single or multiple power supplies and treaters to simplify management of equipment and ensure precise coordination across systems.
Data Visibility & Monitoring:
The P7000 provides users a simplified interface to oversee operational data and monitor the status of the equipment. Specific operational data is provided via visual outputs that can be recorded by the user's PLC. Interlocks can be conveniently monitored from a single interface, simplifying integration into existing PLC systems for quick troubleshooting. With easy access to fault monitoring, the P7000 empowers users to maintain optimal performance and minimize downtime effectively.
Multiple Run Modes:
The P7000 offers versatile run modes designed to optimize performance based on your specific application. Using Watt Density Control, users can specify the desired watt density and treatment width, allowing the power supply to automatically scale power in accordance with the current line speed, ensuring consistent treatment across varying production rates. The Proportional Speed Control provides an alternative by allowing users to set a specific power level for a designated speed, with the power supply adjusting output to match the ongoing line speed, enhancing process efficiency. Constant Speed Control enables operators to set a fixed power output, maintaining stable performance regardless of line variations.
