Module communicates with packaging lines

The latest EtherNet IP scanner module communicates with management systems and between machine controls on packaging lines.

A new option module give the PacDrive* C600 and P600 automation controllers an EtherNet/IP master (network scanner) capability, allowing EtherNet/IP I/O to be interfaced directly to these controllers.

The latest EtherNet/IP scanner module OM-NE was designed specifically to meet the requirements of machine builders in the US market. It allows PacDrive C600 and P600 controllers to serve as masters (networks scanners) on EtherNet/IP networks, to control I/O devices, connect HMI and communicate with management systems and communicate between machine controls on packaging lines.

The PacDrive automation controllers provide both motion and logic funcdtions, eliminating the need for conventional PLCs or PACs. The self-contained hardware module is based on Hilscher’s netX communication processor and complements a software EtherNet/IP slave already available for all the PacDrive automation controllers. The new master allows the connection of up to 64 slaves.

The plug-in module occupies one of the two expansion slots on the C600 and P600 automation controllers. A configuration tool implemented in ELAU’s EPAS-4 software development toolkit enables the software integration, making an EtherNet/IP master a quick and easy upgrade.
