Cutting costly copper waste

machine. Coupled with ERP system To accurately monitor inventory and material consumption, it is also important to get data from Leel's ERP system into the Netto control system. "We didn't have that capability [...] "We're very happy with the system from Netto and B&R, and we want to use it to automate all of our production systems," says Hovořáková. Monika Hovořáková Purchasing Manager, Leel Coils Europe "We approached [...] data online and provide both operators and managers with important information," says Šrámek. "It's possible to implement both the software and the control system on older machines as well." B&R also equipped

Network-integrated light curtains save money

away with the sensors that were necessary for previous muting solutions. Easy configuration and diagnostics With a B&R solution using openSAFETY light curtains, safety functions such as muting and blanking [...] needed for commissioning is considerably reduced – especially for equipment produced in series. Diagnostics have also been simplified, with information available in plain text instead of having to be decrypted [...] offer our mutual customers a whole new realm of safety solutions," stresses Paolo Zanetta, product manager for safety at Datalogic. "The customer enjoys maximum conceptual design freedom and even saves money

Innovative solutions for the metal industry

completely open CNC system, B&R offers machine manufacturers a very simple way to implement technology functions. These functions represent the core of the machine's know-how. B&R's CNC system also offers a [...] simple interface to CAD/CAM systems. The CNC functions can be implemented on a single hardware platform together with the standard control, robotics and safety technology systems. This results in a significant [...] that integrates safety seamlessly into the standard control system and eliminates the need for extra wiring. B&R implements its safety system using the open standard openSAFETY. Modular machines benefit

Structured work within a team

for Automation Studio provides software developers a way of leaving tedious version management tasks up to the system – with synchronization a breeze thanks to the software's integrated comparison mechanisms [...] with the open-source Subversion versioning and revision control system. Always a step ahead Along with the integration of version management software, the openness of Automation Studio also means that it [...] adherence to defined sequences. Essential for structured development within a team, a source control system is the only way to guarantee clearly defined development versions while helping to prevent errors

Standardization paves the way to the future

Motion. B&R's Automation Studio development platform now makes programming and configuring multi-axis systems easier than ever before. This is made possible with the addition of PLCopen-certified Coordinated [...] PLCopen blocks since 2004. "Standardization paves the way to the future," stated Eelco van der Wal, managing director of the PLCopen Foundation, as he awarded the certificate of compliance at the SPS IPC Drives [...] predefined function blocks and machine state descriptions that make it possible to control any multi-axis system with a standardized interface. "What these PLCopen blocks have done is made it just as easy to configure
