Enhanced productivity thanks to reduction in wiring overhead and space requirement “My declared aim is: “less wiring”. We already saved 80% of the wiring with the heating control system. … with a resulting 70% space saving in the overall equipment. This also allows us to be considerably more versatile. Ernst Gebert, Managing Director Metrik Sondermaschinenbau e. K., Creussen >>> Solution: Less effort, less space, finish quicker<<< Previously Solution for heat cartridge control via solid- state contactors: Control cabinet size 700 mm x 400 mm (now: 200 mm x 300 mm) With SIPLUS HCS4200 Smaller space requirement in the control cabinet + reduced wiring overhead > All components required for heat cartridge control on board, e.g. fuses This slide is optional.

Improved product quality due to high-speed and informative error diagnostics “We used to spend ages trying to pinpoint faults by trial and error and it was a pretty hit and miss affair. All we have to do now for HCS diagnostics is press a button. This was a revelation for us and we haven’t looked back since." Ernst Gebert, Managing Director Metrik Sondermaschinenbau e. K., Creussen >>> Solution: Improved diagnostics, fewer clicks, fewer errors<<< Previously Certain operating state diagnostics were simply not possible e.g. overshoot caused by faulty heating cartridges. With SIPLUS HCS4200, S7-1513F and TIA Portal 90% time savings when configuring diagnostics > HCS-specific diagnostic block Fast detection, localization and visualization > Shared database + trace function This slide is optional.
