Focus issue:
The new class of devices combines strengths, eliminates weakness
The secure way to a sustainable solution
No risks, no limits!
Always adaptable and extensible
Workflow description:
free programmable modular PLC
The manufacturer supplies a hardware platform and
provides engineering software and standard software
modules for application development. To create the ap-
plication requires a technician familiar with the graphical
engineering and programming system. After installing the
hardware and loading the application into the controller,
the system can be optimized by a service technician via
web browser.
With Saia-Burgess and the Engineering Software
Saia® PG5 Controls Suite the application can be adapted
or extended over the entire life cycle of the application.
Any time the modules blocks can be rearranged or added.
This is necessary if the plant is to be extended with
new functionality or new hardware. With appropriate
programming knowledge, you can create your own
modules if no standard modules exist. Specific functions
and new requirements can also be packaged in the new
software modules.
The hardware platforms of the Saia® PCD controllers are
much more powerful than a dedicated controller and are
built in a modular design. These are mandatory prerequi-
site for ensuring that the hardware platform can be kept
up to date over 15 years.
The only disadvantage of the PLC technology is that it can-
not be used without engineering and programming skills.
At the time of delivery from the factory, the PLC is «empty»
and still must be programmed.
