Decentralized Automation Solutions

Everyone benefits!

The introduction of a forward-thinking installation concept that is geared towards a maximum price/performance ratio brings advantages to companies as a whole. However, it is also important to realize that all departments and persons involved in the creation of a new concept gain a benefit.

Our example:
The software engineer

Depending on the implemented solution - The benefits to the Software Engineer are as follows:

  • Configurations can be transferred to other machines as required (copy & paste).
  • the software configuration can be carried out independently of the hardware structure
  • Sensors do not have to be parameterized, instead the device file is fed in directly.
  • Topology recognition and detailed diagnostics for easy troubleshooting and rectification
  • Establishment of modular systems in the control software for clear option management
  • Reduced program effort due to the elimination of separate safety circuits
  • Industrial standards such as OPC-UA and IO-Link are the interface from the cloud to the IO level.
Murrelektronik MVK Fusion

The current trend in decentralization:
The formation of mechatronic units

 

The modularization of machines and plants is regarded as the business model of the future: Standardized mechatronic units are assembled flexibly and demand-oriented. With MVK Fusion, Murrelektronik has developed a fieldbus product that implements exactly this idea of modularization in a simple manner.

The PROFINET/PROFIsafe module combines three elementary functions of installation technology in a single compact module:

  • digital standard sensors and actuators,
  • Digital safety-related sensors and actuators up to PLe,
  • IO-Link.

This combination is impressively innovative. With MVK Fusion, fewer fieldbus modules are required per modular unit, in the best case only one. This offers attractive opportunities for a large number of automation applications and is a pleasure for the buyer.

MVK Fusion with push-pull connection technology: The clever solution for the construction of machines and plants

The MVK Fusion fieldbus module is connected using push-pull connection technology. This enables fast installation of the fieldbus and power connectors with just one "click". Why does the German leading industry Automotive opt for push-pull in its release specifications – and can this also be the right choice for machine and plant manufacturers in other segments?

The fast push-pull connection process has its origins in the idea forges of the automotive industry. This is why it is also a very attractive solution for many other industries and applications. The great advantage of push-pull connectors is that they can be assembled and connected in a few simple steps and in a short time.

If the exact cable lengths can only be determined when the machine components are assembled, the self-assembly push-pull connectors show their full strength! In combination with cables that Murrelektronik sells by the metre on reels, connecting cables accurately cut to the centimetre can be "produced" on site.

A fast and flexible solution that makes MVK Fusion with push-pull connection technology a highly interesting option for professional work when setting up plants and machines. A good example: a plant structure in a large logistics unit.
