PC-Control: Exceptional precision and flexibility

EtherCAT and high-speed automation for register control

How do you modernize a register controller for web printing machines that has been setting standards in terms of performance for nearly 20 years already? BST eltromat International GmbH, a global market leader in high-quality optical quality measuring and monitoring systems for inline processes, was faced with this difficult question. New requirements now need to be fulfilled due to the changing production and automation environment in the printing industry. It quickly became clear that only a change from the proprietary solution to an open one – implemented with PC control, EtherCAT and XFC technology from Beckhoff – would make the desired precision, flexibility and communication capability possible.
