What’s new? A 15.6-inch touch-screen controller from B&R Industrial Automation, which replaces a standard HMI from the same supplier.
Benefits Faster processing speeds. According to the company, the machines are very reliable. The new controller offers sufficient computing bandwidth for closed-loop calculations and provides precision, repeatability and flexibility for programming operational sequences. The injection molding system provides various reports for production, settings, alarm records and logs of operational settings, and can be linked to cloud-based services and participate in the Internet of Things.
