Embedded controller

 

When compared to the PLC, the Embedded controller has more advantages than you may think.

 

Questions from the customer

Out customer asked for a solution for accurate weighing and application of different types of plastic granules. The problem lay in the precision and speed of the application. Standard solutions could not fill the requirements.

 

The Embedded Controller as solution

An embedded controller is the ideal solution for this problem. For this application, the controller consists of:

  • A load cell interface for measuring weight
  • 24V input and output for the clamps and sensors
  • 24V security and emergency stop circuit
  • Communication with a PC terminal

Advantages of an embedded controller

The design of an embedded controller gives the following advantages:

  • Fast I/O
  • Analog and digital signal analysis
  • Simple to integrate in current configurations
  • Every type of communication is possible (RS232, RS485, TCP/IP, WiFi, GSM, Lin, profibus, etc)
  • Custom made
  • Low cost
  • Compact

 

Also the controller is easy to tune to the user of the system. Then the choice can be made between controllers, such as an Industrial Terminall.

 

For who?

The design of an embedded controller is applicable if there is talk of a small production series, such as a few dozen. The application determines the use. The price of the product and production becomes lower, while the design costs are outweighed as the production amount increases.
