Process Control Blocks

Whether producing difficult or easy products, Eurotherm/Barber-Colman's process control knowledge will be a benefit. The ASB can be configured for any plastic application.

Utilizing a distributed control structure that features intelligent processor assemblies (IPAs) with on-board microprocessors, the MACO DS/RS delivers unmatched control. In addition to the onboard microprocessors, each ASB can be equipped with a central processor for custom control and local I/O drops. The central processor supports true IEC 1131-3 programming*, runtime controller simulation for discrete I/O, on-line monitoring/editing, and custom control capability.

Custom control capability is unique to MACO DS/RS. OEMs no longer need to design and manufacture their own control systems to keep routines configential. Through the sequence programming package, a low level C++ block can be downloaded to modiy or enhanse EUrotherm/Barber-Colman's routines.
