Variety, optimization of production processes, and continuous energy and process control are the challenges of the future. In order to meet these demands, powerful, flexible and energy-efficient vacuum systems are required.
The answer is our Compact Terminal SCTSi Ethernet, a compact unit of several vacuum generators for simultaneously and independently handling different parts with a single vacuum system.
The compact terminal SCTSi is sort of the masterpiece of our engineers, a compact and powerful unit for vacuum generation in automated systems.
Now Schmalz has enhanced the Ethernet version of the terminal by adding new modules. Via an IO-Link master that can be integrated into the terminal, field devices can be connected via IO-Link and thus communicate directly with the PLC. Digital field devices such as sensors are integrated via digital input modules – without separate I/O modules.
The terminal thus becomes the central control unit for vacuum gripping systems.
Lean :
-
Central compressed air and power supply for up to 16 ejectors
-
Direct connection to the controller via only one data line
-
Space saving (no additional IO-Link master or I/O modules)
Networked :
-
Can be integrated in a wide range of field-bus systems
-
Only one station in the network, even if devices are connected to the SCTSi
Modular
-
Simple construction of different, individually controllable vacuum circuits
-
Single and multi-stage vacuum generation
-
Ejectors are individually selectable according to nozzle size, NO / NC / impulse or nozzle type
Intelligent:
-
All vacuum circuits can be separately controlled
-
Process transparency, energy consumption control and a variety of diagnostic functions for use in intelligent factories
All you need to run your factory !
