Integrated control unit

In line with the new standard, which represents the union of noise free measurement technology and worldwide standardised control technology in process and factory automation, PMX users can now use the Codesys V3 software platform. Based on the IEC61131-3 programming system the platform enables programming, fieldbus and I/O configuration, MotionControl and other tasks. Additional benefits to the user mean that Codesys software can also be used to create their own plug ins.

The CANopen interface can be used to receive data or send CAN data in PMX. In addition, users can create visualisation interfaces, which can be easily integrated into the PLC programming system and displayed onto a PC or in a web browser, providing a simple and cost effective solution.

Eliminating the need for complicated software licensing, the Codesys runtime license is included in the WGX001 PMX device from HBM.

The PMX system features high measurement accuracy and long term stability, which greatly increases production line efficiency. In addition, it can perform measurement, preconditioning and analysis in real time using the 32 internal computing channels, offering additional cost savings to the user.

In an industrial environment, the slightest malfunction can lead to costly repairs and production delays; however, by implementing the PMX system, machine errors are quickly detected, minimising unplanned and costly downtime.
