Soft-PLC

Intelligent control system

MPC Solution is a control system with extensive features. It is suitable for every purpose, from the simple machine to the complex process. MPC Solution controls, regulates, visualizes and communicates in one single system. Due to it´s scalability it satisfies all requirements.

MPC Solution is a combination of hard and software. The essential component of our control system is the software package.

With MPC Solution, projects can be created in shorter time. All tasks are administrated by the PC in a spread system. Multiple input tasks don't apply, since all components for control, visualization, logging and monitoring, programming and parametration, as well as the propulsion technology etc. interact smoothly. The required fuctionality can be implemented by the programmer in a very fast, easy and efficient way.


Comfortable programming

In order to be suitable for the various requirements of modern automation systems, MPC Solution offers different kinds of programming, which are combinable arbitrarily with one another and offer new possiblities.

The Soft-PLC part of the system consists of so-called machines and subroutines. Those subroutines are re-usable seperately and storable program sections whose parameters can be changed.

A machine consists of pre-defined program modules for manual and automatic mode, for initialization, two switching off routines and a continuous program. Because of the predefinition, only the assigned on-, off-, manual- and automatic push buttons must be assigned when being assumed.

A program module consists of variables, operating sequences, conditions, loops and sequences. During program preparation, the well-known tree structure of disk listings is used.


Interfaces

The interface for the process is implemented by usual interfaces, so that almost any hardware can be attached. Bus nodes of general manufacturers can be merged over Profibus DP and CANopen without difficulty. The parameters for the most usual I/O components are deposited as library.


Easy handling

MPC Solution also uses the various possibilities of the PC for easy operating, controlling and supervising processes and machines.

The aim is always to achieve a handling which is as simple as possible for the end user. This makes the production process as accurate as possible, reduces operating errors and helps saving costs.
