Communication – Human machine interfacing in industrial applications and simple networking

In machine building, in commercial building or in industrial processes the level of networking is constamtly increasing. The diagnostics and maintenance should increasingly be able to be carried out from any point. The use of existing infrastructure can be realized with small, low-priced, powerful control systems.

Your benefits

Consistent communication supports effective planning, effective operation and an effective service of the network. This helps to save time and money and in addition, it increases the productivity of the plant.

Ethernet – via Industrial Ethernet powerful communication networks of considerable size can be constructed. Cost-effective controlling, supervising and collecting of data for three-dimensional applications.
Actuator-Sensor-Interface – an open, producer-independent bus system with minimal wiring and cost savings. Actuators and sensors are simply connected with each other and can be turned off in time, in the case of a hazardous situation.
Device interface S7-200 – possible data transfer between PC/PG and S7-200. Process data can be exported, permanently saved and further processed.

Applications

The Micro Automation Sets for communications can be applied for manufacturing and production plants among other things.

MAS 4: Machine-level visualization with Touch Panel

User-friendly control and visualization of industrial processes using Touch Panel and SIMATIC S7-200

The MAS 4 is especially suited for a wide range of applications in machinery and plant construction.

MAS 7: Safety-integrated switching in the AS-Interface network

Safe switching using the AS-Interface Safety Monitor and evaluation in a SIMATIC S7-200 via the AS-Interface master

The MAS 7 is especially suited for automation tasks with individual actuators and sensors used in a distributed architecture in conjunction with safety-related functions.

MAS 11: Simplest possible access to PLC data via standard PC applications

Reading and writing of SIMATIC S7-200 data with standard Windows applications using the example of MS Excel

The MAS 11 is especially suited for PC software enables data transfer between PC/PG and the S7-200 CPU. Process data can be swapped out, backed up in the long term, and written to the controller.

MAS 14: Networking automation systems via Industrial Ethernet

Networking automation stations with SIMATIC S7-200, CP 243-1 and SCALANCE X108

The MAS 14 is especially suited for use in cost-effective archiving and communication tasks with low engineering overhead. Any SIMATIC S7 controllers or SIMATIC WinAC can be used as communication partners.

MAS 15: Easy process communications based on web technology

Web-based control and monitoring with LOGO!Power, SIMATIC S7-200 and CP 243-1 IT

The MAS 15 is particularly suitable for the exchange of operational data and failure messages between distributing stations and a headquarter via the Intranet or Internet.

MAS 16: Distributed Control with AS-Interface networks in industrial applications

Communication between S7-200 and LOGO! on AS-Interface networks over CP 243-2 and AS-Interface function module

The MAS 16 is particular suitable for autonomous workplaces in production and for luggage or part feeders (e.g.: transition belts) that convey parts to a main belt.
