Process control and visualization

Programmable drivers plc and Operator panels hmi are an inseparable element of machine control systems, and industrial process, especially in automatic process production. The Wobit company offers PLC drivers and Kinco HMI panels, which thanks to their functionality are used in various applications.

Kinco Kinco K2 series is intended for basic applications. They are characterized by compact dimensions and high functionality. I/O controllers can be freely configurable depending on the needs of the application. Thanks to this, there is no need to implement extension modules.

Among the PLC drivers from the K2 series, it is worth paying special attention to the model k205ea-18dtt equipped with up to 8 configurable i/O points and three fast inputs with a frequency of 50 kHz. The drivers are powered by a voltage of 24 VDC, and a USB connector is intended for their programming. This port can also be used for power.

More advanced Programmable drivers from the K5 series are equipped with an efficient processor, thanks to which they provide high work efficiency and varied functionality. The devices have two fast meters with twelve operating modes. During single -channel work, the frequency of fast inputs is up to 60 kHz, while the two -channel up to 20 kHz. Each of the fast meters has a separate input designed to check the step, direction, start and reset. The K5 series also has two fast pulse outputs with a frequency of up to 200 kHz with support for PTO or PWM. They are mainly intended for controlling stepper motors and servo drives. Drivers allow you to control the absolute position, rated position and base.

For the configuration of the drivers and creating programs, free kincobuilder software. In addition, from the page www.kinco.com.pl you can download a programming textbook in Polish, which explains the meaning of individual components, and also shows how to create a program and how to controller.

One of the basic tasks that the drivers carry out is communication with devices included in the system or machine. The element that allows this is primarily communication interfaces. By default, all Kinco PLCo drivers are equipped with a serial communication function. Depending on the model, devices have a built -in RS232 port and up to two RS485 ports that allow communication after the Modbus RTU protocol. Each of the ports supports up to 32 devices operating on the web. The RS485 port allows the controller to work both as a subordinate device and as a parent unit.

The K5 series of programmable controllers has been adapted to communication by the Canopen protocol. This protocol allows, above all, free organization of the network and easy to attach devices on it on the principle of plug & play, e.g. easy communication with the HMI operator panel. The K541 extension module, in which the Canopen superior protocol has been implemented is characterized by 1 MBPS bandwidth and can support up to 72 subordinate devices. In addition to the K541 module, the K5 series controllers are available input and analog, digital and output modules as well as modules for measuring the temperature with a resolution of 16 bits.

As mentioned at the outset, often an indispensable element of many machines and systems is also operator panel , especially because The trend to communicate using graphic messages is becoming stronger. To the main functions panel hmi It is necessary to mediate communication between man and machine-collecting current data from managed processes, their visualization and control. The Wobit company offers HMI production panels from Kinco, characterized by good quality and durability of equipment.

A significant advantage of HMI Kinco panels is Free and intuitive Kinco Dtools software , which can be downloaded from www.wobit.com.pl . Extensive component libraries for displaying and entering data definitely accelerate the visualization process of a given process. Kinco Dtools software also allows you to import images in JPEG, GIF and BMP format. Thanks to this, visualization on the HMI panel is even more user -friendly. It is also possible to set your start image, which will be displayed after starting the device.

Among the Kinco panels, it is worth paying attention to new Green series, which replaces the extremely popular MT4000 series. It is characterized by modern design, excellent support for the user, which distinguishes it among high -quality HMI panels. The most popular processor on the market has been used in the Green series, thanks to which the products are characterized by excellent performance and service life (over 10 years). It is an ideal choice for those looking for long-term stability and a high-quality human-mascine interface.
