RT200 Control System

Sept. 10, 2021
The RT200 Control System from Regloplas offers optimization of food processes.

The RT200 Control System with integrated OPC UA server now provides maximum flexibility for digitalization within the production process. The system offers remote monitoring, support, and digital process-optimization in the temperature control of food processes.

 

The central concept of digitalization is data exchange of all the process and machine data across the network and to higher-level IT systems such as MES, ERP, and PPS.

 

All peripheral machines, devices, and systems involved in the production process communicate with one another. This enables real-time process optimizations leading to higher productivity, reduced downtime, optimized machine capacity, and improved product quality.

Overview

  • Each temperature control unit has an inbuilt OPC UA server which means limitless utility in terms of data exchange and communication.
  • Maximum flexibility when using appliances in plants using machines from different manufacturers which support OPC UA.
  • The physical connection is based on an Ethernet patch cable which enables "Plug & Play". An integrated 2-port switch enables straightforward series connection (Daisy-Chain) for simplified cabling in the case of multiple temperature control units.
  • The RT200 control system has an integrated standard WLAN which enables wireless OPC UA communication. The temperature control unit can automatically connect with a WLAN Access Point in the Smart Factory.
  • A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the temperature control unit, whether via wired LAN or WLAN.
  • The same network connection (LAN or WLAN) enables the display to be operated fully "remotely" (HTML5 technology) in a browser. E.g. the appliance can be fully remotely controlled via WLAN from a tablet. There is no need to remove the display from the appliance for remote control.
  • A state-of-the-art machine controller with HTML5 Browser technology can display the graphics and enable full remote operation of the temperature control unit.
