"All requirements properly harnessed in the conduit" - 
Standardized automation package for Tehalit
|
|
|
Two-thirds of Germany's and a majority of Europe's cable conduits used for
electrical installations originate from Tehalit GmbH & Co. KG,
Heltersberg (Germany).
An older extrusion line with many years of operation was experiencing
increased controller malfunctions, and problems with the spare parts supply
began to emerge. As a result, the production management sought a technically
and economically feasible alternative - preferably a
manufacturer-independent solution that could be standardized and transferred
to others of the 30 extrusion lines from different manufacturers at tehalits
production plant. |

At that moment Siemens A&D came out with a standardized "extrusion
package", which contains all the hardware and software components for an
efficient operation of tube and profile extrusion systems and is largely
preconfigured. For HMI tasks the customer can choose between a Panel PC
670 or a Multi Panel MP 370 Touch, which tehalit preferred. The package proved
to be an excellent solution for the comprehensive retrofit as well as a basis
for further standardisation in future projects.
