The automation system PSS 4000

 

With the automation system PSS 4000, control functions can be distributed directly to the periphery without any problem. This enables a centralised view of distributed automation structures - and simple handling. As a user you can create a modular user program and therefore a project, through which all network subscribers can be configured/programmed. Communication via the real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p also enables easier interaction between individual components. Network subscribers communicate automatically - no additional configuration is required.

The automation system PSS 4000 focuses on the merging of safety and automation. This enables the implementation of automation solutions for both safety and automation; solutions which as users you will find easy to handle. The system is physically mixed but free from feedback. Programmers and users are free to combine configuration with function blocks or programming with source code in EN/IEC 61131-3 compliant editors. A key element here is the software platform PAS4000 with its various editors and blocks. Standardised editors are provided, which can be used for automation as well as safety-related tasks.

PAS4000 provides a standardised programming environment for configuration and PLC programming.

Previously it was necessary for hardware to be selected at the start of the configuration/programming process. Subsequent modifications were very costly. On PSS 4000 it's different: the hardware can be selected and the program divided on the hardware at a later point in the process because it is largely independent of the configuration stage. For example, if it is established that two control systems PSSuniversal PLC are reaching their functional limits, a third control system can be integrated. The user program can be redistributed with little effort.
