Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides a comprehensive overview of SCHMIDT® PressControl units, specifically models 75, 700, 7000 RT, and 7000 HMI. These units are integral to modern production processes, offering features such as safety technology, process measurement, and documentation capabilities.
Specifications
  • SCHMIDT® PressControl 75: A compact, multifunctional unit compatible with ElectricPress, PneumaticPress, and HydroPneumaticPress. It includes a 2.8" touchscreen, CANopen interfaces, and has a protection class of IP 54.
  • SCHMIDT® PressControl 700: Designed for single workstations, it features EtherCAT for rapid data processing and a 10.1" Full HD multi-touch screen for enhanced process visualization.
  • SCHMIDT® PressControl 7000 RT: Offers real-time control with EtherCAT communication, ideal for extensive data exchange and process monitoring.
  • SCHMIDT® PressControl 7000 HMI: Equipped with a 21.5" Full HD multi-touch screen, it supports multi-axis applications and optional software tools.
Technical Data Highlights
  • All units operate on a 24 V DC power supply.
  • Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C for most models.
  • Interfaces include USB, Ethernet, and EtherCAT, depending on the model.
Process Control and Visualization
The control units provide advanced process visualization and data management, supporting process optimization through graphical displays and quality assurance via tolerance monitoring.
Software Tools
SCHMIDT Technology offers modular software tools for data management, such as PRC DataBase, PRC FileXchange, and PRC OPC UA, which facilitate data storage, exchange, and analysis, enhancing quality assurance and process optimization.
Applications
The document highlights various driving profiles for ServoPress and TorquePress systems, showcasing their adaptability to different pressing and joining processes.
Data Transmission and Configuration
The system synchronizes production data between PressControl and a PC. If the connection is interrupted, the process halts and resumes upon reconnection. Default press process values can be imported from configuration files managed via standard PC applications, created by the SCHMIDT® PressControl HMI and transferred via XML to customer management software.
OpenFieldBus and DataXchange
OpenFieldBus allows for custom specification and programming of driving profiles and sequences, enabling bidirectional data transmission. The PRC DataXchange interface facilitates communication between the press system and higher-level control systems, allowing dynamic process adaptation and data transfer to Master PLCs for MES and ERP system integration.
Interchangeable Modules and Communication
The system supports communication via fieldbus systems, including UniversalFieldBus (UFB) and other interfaces through external gateways. Proven hardware components like the EtherCAT-P Compact Box and SCHMIDT® PRC Gateway are used for system integration, providing digital channels, power supply, and status LEDs.
System Architecture
SCHMIDT® PressControl functions as a system control, overseeing process monitoring with real-time characteristics. The architecture includes CANopen fieldbus for activating various press types and exchanging data. The system integrates with higher-level control systems via standardized interfaces, ensuring efficient data exchange and process monitoring.

Visualization and process analysis for PressControl 700 and 7000 Visualization user surface Important parameters for assessing the quality of press fits are the press force and the press stroke. The data of these measured variables are recorded during the process and displayed by the software as a force-displacement curve F/s or F/t or s/t. For quality assurance of the joining process, freely definable tolerances are provided in the form of force-stroke windows and stroke tolerances. With the help of these criteria, the qualitycritical areas can be precisely monitored. If the tolerances are not...
