SPAC20 - a coprocessor module for PLCs
- Customer
- MITSUBISHI Electric Europe BV
- Duration
- 2000 - 2001
- Objectives
- The SPAC20 is a coprocessor module that makes possible the control of demanding industrial processes using standard industrial PLCs from the MITSUBISHI AnS and QnA series of modular programmable controllers.
- Description
- The SPAC20 coprocessor module and the related SW package IDR BLOK transforms the standard PLC into a highly efficient system for the control and monitoring of industrial processes.
- Innovation
- Allows the utilisation of relatively low-cost industrial controllers for the control of fast and/or problematic continuous processes, where fast sampling and extensive signal processing are often required. The SPAC20 operates as a “controller within a controller”.
- Benefits
- The SPAC20 coprocessor has already been applied in a number of applications that demand sophisticated control, such as blow-moulding plastic extruders, energy consumption smoothing, a wire annealing machine using magneto-focused plasma, a machine for the production of rubber strips, a steel slitting machine, etc.
