As realistic as you can get
As in the real world of production systems, controllers take on the task of signal processing in MPS®. The signals from the system can be transferred from the station to the controller or between controllers directly via I/Os or via various fieldbus systems.
The MPS® is based on industrial standards. The MPS® concept is based on marker leaders' automation solutions and trends.
- Programmable logic controllers from the marker leaders
- IEC61131-compliant design and programming tools
- The most commonly used fieldbuses: PROFINET, PROFIBUS, AS-Interface, Ethernet
Optimised for training
Fully equipped and wired PLC boards can be mounted or suspended directly in the trolley. The PLC board can be simply removed from the trolley and placed on any table when working on the PLC board or for demonstration purposes.
Plug-in and go!
The station, the control console and the PLC boards are equipped with standardised SysLink interfaces. No wiring is required – the boards simply plug in.
Connecting the station
Up to 8 binary inputs and 8 binary outputs are required to control an MPS® station. All binary signals are connected to an I/O terminal with a SysLink socket.
Analogue signals are passed to a special analogue terminal with a 15-pin Sub-D socket.
Connecting the control console
The control console is generally connected to the PLC via a SysLink socket with 8 binary inputs and 8 binary outputs. A second SysLink socket allows expansion to up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
