Control Systems ECM2 PROCESS CONTROL PLATFORM FOR STAND-ALONE MASTER CONTROL AND FULL PROGRAMMABILITY The ECM2 control platform is ideal for high-density commercial and industrial applications and for remote monitoring applications with high I/O point counts. The ECM2 can be implemented as a complete control platform for a single location or tool or for a complete manufacturing line. With the ability to handle detailed execution tasks through various commonly used programming languages as well as to run certified programmable safety interlocks, the unit can be used to manage all required tool control needs. Based on case studies, the compact footprint of the ECM2 can typically save users 15-40% on their automation and control costs versus other solutions. In addition to lowering automation and control costs, the ECM2 has been shown to reduce energy consumption by 17% compared to comparable Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) based control architectures. Features & Benefits • Full programmability, simple to program & faster time to market • Compact, high density design reduces the number of controllers required, saving cost and tool real estate • Adjust and reuse interlocking schemes on the fly, saving engineering time and costs • Data monitoring & control interfaces utilize Modbus/TCP, DeviceNet™, EtherCAT®, or web browser for migration and flexibility Stand-alone real-time master controller, simple to support Designed with analog, digital, temperature, serial, and safety I/O connectivity in a single controller for flexibility and ease of use Energy efficient, found to be 17% more efficient than similar PLC type solutions Programmability The ECM2 provides various programmability options and can utilize other commonly used programming applications, virtually eliminating the need to learn and support new programming languages & applications. In addition to the below applications, the ECM2 supports on-board analytical packages such as Statistical Process Control (SPC), advanced Multivariate SPC, advanced temperature control, etc.
