LT solves a variety of production site problems. |
|
|
Example 1 Type A1 / Type
A2 / Type B+ |
|
| Food Processing Equipment - Fryer |
|
|
"We want to reduce both the number of components and the wiring around the control panel."
|
Problems
| 1 |
In-house development of a controller and display device is too expensive. |
|
| 2 |
The number of components needs to be reduced, for downsizing of the equipment. |
|
| 3 |
Numerous protruding parts cause corrosion and dust problems. |
|
|
 |
|
Solutions
| 1 |
Replacing mechanical switches and lamps with a touch display makes it easier to respond to design changes. |
|
| 2 |
The all-in-one design reduces costs and risks associated with purchasing separate components. |
|
| 3 |
Further costs are saved due to greatly simplified wiring and installation. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Example 2 Type B / Type
B+ |
|
| Food Processing Equipment - Material Charger |
|
|
"We want to reduce the number of units with protruding parts, and keep the area around the control panel clean."
|
Problems
| 1 |
Protruding parts on the control panel lower the level of hygiene because corrosion and mold collect in the crevices. |
|
| 2 |
It's easy to make setting mistakes. |
|
|
 |
|
Solutions
| 1 |
The display-type control panel is easier to clean and more hygienic. |
|
| 2 |
Wiring is reduced, and the system can be installed in a smaller space. |
|
| 3 |
Display and control are combined into a single unit. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Example 3 Type B / Type
B+ / Type C |
|
| Less Wiring, Easier Assembly |
|
|
"We want to cut down on the amount of wiring for more efficient maintenance, and to shorten the time needed for setup on-site."
|
Problems
| 1 |
The setup time needs to be shortened as much as possible. |
|
| 2 |
It is important to reduce malfunctions and other problems, caused by miswiring. |
|
|
 |
|
Solutions
| 1 |
LT is a 1-box solution that requires less on-site setup because it enables totally distributed control. |
|
| 2 |
The LT display eliminates the need for a conventional control panel and reduces the number of components. |
|
| 3 |
The Flex Network handles all communications between devices, so there is less wiring between machine blocks. |
|
 |
|
|
Example 4 Type C |
|
| Metal Plating Systems |
|
|
"We use a lot of inverters, so settings are time-consuming."
|
Problems
| 1 |
Parameters for each product need to be changed. |
|
| 2 |
Too many wires are needed between inverters. |
|
| 3 |
The power supply and torque should be monitored, with an alarm to alert us to problems. |
|
|
 |
|
Solutions
| 1 |
There is no parameter unit needed for the inverter. |
|
| 2 |
Control can be made with a single communication cable. |
|
| 3 |
A real-time trend display of the inverter control protects machinery. |
