How to quickly design and deploy IIoT-ready machines

■ LC1G115EHEN 150 A (75 kW at 440 V AC ), 3-pole, normally open, TeSys Giga contactor, designed for use in demanding applications with operating rates of up to 600 cycles per hour and operating temperature up to +60°C ■ TPRDG4X2 digital I/O module with four digital inputs and two digital outputs can manage motors and other electrical loads up to 65 A (37 kW, 40 hp). All adjustments and settings are digitized, and no mechanical dials or dip switches

■ TeSys island Communicating Motor Starters rated up to 40 hp (80 A at 480 V). These SIL starters meet the requirements of IEC 61508, IEC 62061, and ISO 13849-1 and support PL d, and SIL 2 TeSys island also supports comprehensive solutions and integrates easily with Rockwell Studio 5000 and Siemens TIA Portal environments to support legacy machines.

Putting it all together

When it’s time to build the completed machine, designers can turn to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert. This software solution supports development, configuration, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of IIoT-ready machines. EcoStruxure Machine Expert can handle all the latest IIoT machine building blocks, including Modicon M262 PLCs and the TeSys Island digital load management system. It’s
