Recently bindery equipment and printing controller
supplier ECS (Glastonbury , Connecticut
Turning to its partner on this project,
Advanced Industrial Controls (AIC), a St. Louis area Siemens-authorized
partner, ECS conducted an analysis and determined that a complete electrical
control and motion upgrade was required, necessitating the replacement of
obsolete and tech-incompatible components, software and HMI.
The obsolete controllers on the machine were
replaced with an ECS eNews Controller for monitoring and control of the
hoppers, downstream trackers and tracker control. Interface to the new
controller over Profinet was required to allow multiple systems and multiple
sites to be interactively linked. Data downloads from a variety of open control
interfaces on the line elements were necessary as well. These included Burt
OCI, Omni-zone, SAMS, Prima, Flat File Format and DTI.
