Hot Plug In

The system participants can be added or removed during operation without having to interrupt the entire application. For this, no project software is required, ensuring the simple exchange of components. If a participant is identified as “critical” for operation, the application stops if the component fails or is removed. The machine does not have to be shut down for simple main- tenance purposes and production stops are avoided, which is a significant cost advantage!

Isochronous Bus Operation

One of the features of the SIGMATEK control system is its isochronicity. With the practically jitter-free data transfer using open VARAN real time Ethernet technology, the quality of control is improved significantly and the quality of production is therefore raised . Intelligent data transfer guarantees highest degree of security and significant increase in performance . This raises the capability and output of your machine, providing a unique advantage over your competitors as well as a selling point for your customers!
