In consequence of the wide range of components, manufacturing plants and transfer lines with programmable logical controllers have the tendency to corresponding failures. High deficiency costs are arising out of long down times.
A fast manual radio control shortens the dead time of production plants and eases the maintenance.
For quick start-up and for rapid correction of failures, the lines must be able to be manually operated in disturbance range. The radio remote control is transmitting the corresponding switching functions to the PLC - the time consuming cable routing is to be dropped. The radio remote control replaces an existing, hand actuated, wired control unit. Instead of the hand actuated stationary control unit, the base transceiver station is plugged in and is immediately ready for operation - Thereby dead times are reduced considerably.
Tried and trusted in applications.
By the use of wireless connection to the PLC, we have at any time, at any place, feedback about process status, about facility status and are able to intervene quickly, if necessary. This is increasing flexibility and economic efficiency.
The on-site display saves lanes, eases communication and provides like this more lucidity and transparency of the system - the entire facility management is improved that way.
Further advantages of STK:
handy, lightweight, robust
freely programmable
simple to operate
minor installation effort
flexible adaptation to various requirements
short-term modifications are easy to realize
decrease of start-up times
fast access on failure search and removal
minimization of down times - increases the availability of the system
prevention of faulty charges
