With knowledge and experience in industrial automation solutions, Cannon Automata focuses on programmable automation controller and fieldbus applications.
Cannon Automata R&D teams research and develop key technologies, producing innovative products in industrial automation; for example many OEM's use CA automation products for processing machines used in the food, textile, chemical, packaging and plastic industry. Cannon Automata automation solutions are also used in the electronic components industry, as well as for renewable and sustainable energy, thermal power plants and water treatment facilities.
The Cannon-Automata A2 - PAC is the second generation of the A-series all-in-one machine controller series. The A2 base units set new standards in terms of performance and communication interfaces at extremly compact dimensions.
Main features at a glance:
F3 is a Programmable Automation Controller (PAC). It combines the features and capabilities of a PC based control system with that of a typical PLC and motion control.
"High Performance – Low Power – Low Cost" are the maxim of the F3 device family with Intel®-Atom™-CPU. The low power consumption of the CPU enables operation with passive cooling at extrem compact dimensions and low system cost.
Modular I/O system with CANopen, ModBus or Sercos III real-time Ethernet slave interface.
Industrial Flat Panel with smart connection between panel and control.
F3 is a compact controller that combines the features of a PC based control system with that of a typical PLC and motion control.
OptinJect is all-in-one control system specially developed for the automation of plastic processing machines, e.g. injection molding machines.
All-in-one means that: I/Os, control, visualization, networking and expandability are already present in to the OptinJect system. ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) CPUs integrated with particular cooling system without fans, allow the system to operate in harsh environment condition.
OptinJect is also a modular I/Os Control System with an optional CAN bus or Sercos III PCI board for standard I/O connections.
The Analog Interrupt capability with threshold (Injection Speed to holding pressure switch) and 3 fast counter 32 Bits (Screw RPM and Mould Adjust position) are developed in particular for injection molding machine.
The programming suite for OptinJect units is CoDeSys by 3S and. This powerful development tool with all IEC 61131-3 functions, soft motion, visualization (WinMachLite) and all other necessary features does ensure efficient and comfortable programming, running together with embedded operating systems Windows® CE.NET.
SCS3 is a compact, modular control for DIN-rail mounting with CAN and Sercos III real-time master or slave interface. The technical features predestine the SCS3 system for the automation of modular machines. It combines the advantages of a compact control with fast, highly synchronous and reliable communication over the real-time Ethernet standard Sercos III.
SCS3 devices are programmed with the IEC 61131 tool CoDeSys.
Two variants are available:
Both base units are available with Sercos III master or slave interface and are equipped with a MicroSD slot to store data and programs.
AUTOMATA is the official Sercos III FPGA solution center of Sercos International, the world-wide user Sercos organization. AUTOMATA provides support and is in charge of maintenance and further development of the Sercos III FPGA IP cores. Sercos III users can take advantage of AUTOMATA's expertise for optimal integration of Sercos III in their products and reducing cost.. We integrate the Sercos III master or slave functionality in your hardware environment.
IP-Cores are available for FPGAs of the market leaders: Altera, Xilinx, and Lattice.
Sercos II PCI boards are available with one or two SERCON816 based interfaces.
Thanks to the TopoExtension, Sercos networks can now be installed more flexibly in a machine or system. In addition to ring and line topologies, branches can now be realized and field devices integrated via a single cable.
With a single cable several cabinets or machine modules can be connected without losing the advantages of ring topology. Also only a single cable is needed to integrate field devices in a ring or line topology—including a power supply.
Features include:
MDT Parser is a PC based Sercos III master with integrated script language to verify slave implementations, for system test and production end test.
The tool runs under Windows® XP on any standard PC. The only precondition is an AUTOMATA Sercos III PCI board. An expensive and complex to install real-time extension for Windows® XP is not necessary.
