LPC being Siemens A&D distributors are able to supply and support the Siemens S7-300 range of PLCs. The S7-300 is the universal PLC for a wide range of applications in automation engineering - with the emphasis on production engineering. Its modular construction without fans, simple implementation of distributed structures and user friendly orientation make the S7-300 an economical and practical solution for a wide range of automation functions.
The outstanding features of the S7-300 include:
· high processing speeds for short cycle times
· powerful instruction set for complex functions
· compact design for use in confined spaces
· packaging density of modules
· graded CPU range with wide selection of function blocks and I/O modules
· 100% maintenance free

Camera Sensor from SICK for industrial applications

Image processing with a user-friendly and compact plug & play sensor is now reality with the ICS 100 from SICK. The camera, optics, illumination and evaluation are accommodated in a single housing measuring only 50 x 50 x 130 mm³, considerably simplifying installation, operation and maintenance. The ICS 100 is suit-able for numerous tasks in production and packaging plants. These include, among others, detecting presence, checking completeness, and checking shape. The 2D sensor offers an economical alternative to PC-based image processing solutions, particularly in applications in which small parts or sections of larger objects require monitoring.

With the new ICS 100 2-D sensor, users in production and packaging technology can now experience, live, the checking of presence, completeness or shape of up to four test samples simultaneously. Apart from its compact design and easy commissioning, very short evaluation times and flexible adaptation to differing machine conditions and object characteristics open up a wide range of applications for the ICS 100

CALgrafix - applications

Check out the following applications for CAlgrafix:

Control Through your Mobile Phone

Keep in touch with your process operations while you are on the move or away from site - introducing the Unitronics GSM enabled M90 Micro PLC with HMI which can send SMS (Short Messages System) messages to your GSM mobile phone in response to any user defined event. Similarly you can send SMS messages from your phone to monitor and modify set-points or run time parameters.
The system can operate with up to 6GSM phones, providing auto-acknowledgement of messages and with security built in to prevent unauthorized callers or adjustment.
The M90 PLC operates on 24VDC, is a slim 96x96x64mm din-rail mountable unit with an expansion port enabling the addition of up to 8 expansion units totaling up to 64 I/O's.

Through-Wall Level Sensing To measure or monitor the level of product in totally enclosed or pressurised vessels. The Hycontrol through wall level sensing system, based on ultrasonic principles avoids the need for contact with the tank contents and the need to enter or cut into the vessel. The system provides a wide range of control options from single point level switching to continuous level measurement and can be utilised in a variety of applications including hazardous and aggressive media (Zones 1 & 2), hygienic environments and in applications with foam on the liquid surface. Available for fixed installation with fastening to the exterior of vessels or as portable units, this new level measurement system is ideal for many industries, including water and waste, automobiles, chemical, biotechnology and medicine, pharmaceutical, food, and power generation. Applications • Level measurement of liquids and liquified gases • Wet and dry pipe detection • Pump protection • Gas bubble detection in pipes • Leakage detection of double lined tanks • Tank overflow detection • Distance measurement in pressure vessels • Ice level detection • Cylinder position sensing • Interface detection between different liquids Contact us TODAY for further information or to arrange a demontstration
