MES Terminals

Schwer und Kopka GmbH - effiziente Prozess- und Werkzeugüberwachung Ihrer Produktionsmaschinen

The machine terminal is the central communication device for the entire data exchange between the machine and MES. It is also a comprehensive information control center for the machine operator. The terminal collects all performance data of the machine such as runtimes, downtimes, downtime reasons, cycle rates, manufactured quantities and much more and transfers them to MES.

In return, it informs the machine operator about upcoming jobs and parts with target quantities, planned cycle rates and, if necessary, further information and documents such as drawings, quality notes, set-up values, shift transfer protocols, etc.

Our terminal program ranges from cost-efficient compact devices with 4.3" touch-screens to PC-based terminals with currently 10" and 15" screen sizes. For the on-line connection of any machines in groups of up to 32 units, we offer the SK-IK counting adapters.

Universal adapter to connect and count pulses and/or machine status messages for connecting any machines to MES. The adapter reports the relevant operating data such as runtimes, downtimes, machine cycle rates and produced quantities directly to the central MES server. It only needs a short impulse from the machine each time a part has been manufactured. Further data such as job number, down codes, work reports (personnel) or scrap reports can be recorded via our MES terminals for individual machines or groups and assigned to the collected performance data.

count adapter is available in 4 versions for connecting 8, 16, 24 or 32 machines
2 signal inputs per machine
logical connection of the input signals
1 signal output to the machine to lock the machine e. g. in case of a missing down code (adjustable)
Ethernet connection or optional W-LAN
integrated power supply unit
supplied in a rugged, lockable control cabinet housing
