Turck’s compact IM18-CCM50 DIN rail control center for collecting, processing and forwarding condition data to IIoT can be configured for specific OEM requirements

The IM18-CCM50 is a compact condition monitoring control center for simple installation in the control cabinet. This enables the use of both the information of the integrated sensors for measuring door position, humidity and temperature, as well as the data from external sensors and measuring devices, which can be integrated via analog and digital interfaces. Besides two analog inputs (mA or V) the module offers two digital inputs/outputs as well as a relay output for tasks such as the control of signal lights and a USB 2.0 Host for connecting a mass storage memory or a wireless adapter.

Current measurement with add-on modules possible

An add-on interface allows other devices such as the IM18-CCM51 to be connected for current measurement for 12 AC channels with up 600 A. The data transfer and power supply of the IM18-CCM modules is implemented via the backplane. 

Linux control center connects OT and IT

This range of functions makes the IM18-CCM platform ideal for machine and plant builders wishing to offer their customers advanced condition monitoring functions. This therefore makes it possible to also implement remote maintenance during operation via the OEM right through to the control cabinet of the user. The open Linux operating system (Debian) is optimized for the installation of custom analysis programs. With its two independent Ethernet interfaces, the IM18-CCM provides an effortless connection between the OT and IT world. The device uses the TCP/IP, Modbus TCP and HTTP communication protocols. Other Ethernet-based protocols can be installed at any time.

Retrofitting condition monitoring in existing machines

With the IM18-CCM50 series, Turck’s CCM platform now includes a powerful IIoT platform for condition monitoring and other IT applications. The IM18-CCM40 is a flexible, open and attractively priced condition monitoring solution that can also be directly connected to IT systems. The IM12-CCM, with its processing and monitoring functions, is ideal for straightforward retrofitting in existing installations as it can be connected to automation systems via IO-Link. 

KEY FUNCTIONS

• Linux platform (Debian) for the installation of OEM software
• Integrated sensors measure air humidity, temperature, door closure
• Several analog and digital interfaces as well as backplane bus offer extensive connectivity options
• Current measurement via add-on modules simplify motor monitoring

Simple, reliable flow control

Water flow controls require extreme reliability and low energy consumption. As part of our newly introduced Specialist series of industry-specific drive technologies, the F600 inverter from Control Techniques is based on our company’s five decades of experience in the field of drive technology and enables precise and reliable flow control.

The Inverter has everything you need. The F600 has all the features you need and uses the language you understand. This is not a generic drive that has been upgraded with specific pump functions – it is a dedicated, specialty pump drive that has been designed from the ground up for the reliability and efficiency you need.

Speaks your language

The F600 inverter is tailored to all your needs and optimized to minimize the time required for set-up without sacrificing flexibility. Whatever the challenge, our clear naming and structuring of parameters ensures that we not only have the answers to this challenge, but also present them in a format that you understand.

Energy savings, realizing the potential

On average, 85% of a pump’s life cycle cost is related to its energy consumption, so optimizing energy consumption can mean a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership. The F600 converter scores with particularly efficient operation of applications with variable torque. You will see the benefits in reduced operating costs and lower energy consumption.

Full control

The F600 can also control the most efficient motors available that meet the IE5 efficiency level, such as: B. the Nidec Leroy Somer Dyneo + hybrid permanent magnet motor. All of these make the F600 the best choice for saving money every day.

Developed for your application

The F600 pump inverter offers a variety of special functions including dry run protection, pipe filling, pump cleaning, overclocking protection and level control. A number of different control modes for single pumps and different parallel pump configurations make the Control Techniques F600 an extremely versatile solution.

Unmatched total cost of ownership

through innovative protective functions and extended device service life

The F600 has extensive pump and motor protection functions that minimize unplanned downtimes, improve overall effectiveness and guarantee high profitability. Make your application really fail-safe and survive component failures without far-reaching problems.

Automatic troubleshooting

In the unlikely event that your pump fails, the F600 can dynamically restore operation and return to normal operation.

Limit control

If the actual value feedback exceeds the limit values ​​defined for your application, the F600 can trigger an alarm or stop the drive in order to protect your system and preserve its service life.

Protection against failure of the transmitter

If the connection to the transmitter is lost, the F600 can stop operation, continue at a fixed speed, or ignore the error, depending on the application requirements.

Fire mode

Fire mode allows the drive to disable all trip trips and continue running without interruption during emergency events if the application requires it.

The F600 is 98% efficient, which means that very little energy is lost in energy conversion.

The real savings potential is also tapped through the built-in functions of the F600, which can further reduce energy consumption:

Savings at low loads

The F600 helps to maximize energy savings with little use. With the state-of-the-art low load power saving function from Control Techniques, the converter dynamically reduces the applied voltage to reduce losses in the motor and increase the efficiency of the system.

The little giant is here! With the new compact controller CC100, WAGO is opening a new door in the world of automation. With its embedded Linux operating system, on-board I / Os, industrial interfaces and Type-C connectivity, the CC100 is on the market!

In addition to the CODESYS runtime, you can use Linux to create unlimited automation solutions for open source applications.
