Aries II Control System

 
The Aries II Extrusion Control System enables precise process adjustment and monitoring of your plastic or rubber extrusion systems. Available on new models or as a retrofit on existing models, the Aries II provides greater control and increase productivity. Key features of the system include:
 
• Factory automation, control of main and peripherals
• 3 Modes of operation: operator, supervisor and engineering
• Password protected
• 2-Tier alarm and warning system
• Data capture and record for trending and SPC
• Process recipe management
• Remote connectivity for service, process support and updates
  
Software
• Windows platform
• Rockwell RSView32 object-
  oriented control system using
  visibility, animation, and touch-
  to-perform for wide variety of
  complex tasks
 
Hardware
• Industrial Intel® architecture
  computer
• Allen Bradley PLC
• Network connectivity
• Touch screen interface
• Many I/O forms, types
  and interfaces
Expandability
• Hardware: add PLCS, racks,
  remote nodes
• Device tags: 300 basic system,
  upgrade to 1000’s
• Single run-time license included
• RSView32 RSLINX software by
  Rockwell, non-proprietary
• Custom assembled/coded for
  your specific application
• Extrusion equipment
  preconfigured and ready for
  plug-in: loaders, feeders, melt
  pumps, pullers, gauging/
  inspection equipment,
  cutters, etc.
 
Standard Features
• Materials and process recipes allows for easy recall and product/process changeover
• Networking with centralized and decentralized data storage, data and activity logs, database ready
• Database backup/export/link to other networked devices and programs
• Temperature PID control: display, alarms and recording for extruder, dies and other equipment
• Monitor, display, record and alarm process pressures, motor drive current
• Process trend viewing of live data tags or recorded historical
• Remote control/monitor for diagnostics, debugging, maintenance, upgrading and management
• Simulation modes for training, on-screen help
• Kiosk-type, free standing station or swing arm pendant
• 15”, 17” and 24” bit color LCD TFT displays with 1000x720 pixel resolution, resistive touch
• Factory friendly industrial PC in small form factor
• Non-volatile PLC memory retains last used operating parameters
 
Safety Features
• Mandatory startup/shutdown process logic sequences eliminates operator influence and protects
  machinery from overloads and damage
• Automated coordination of speed control of multiple drive/motor systems

Warnings/Alarms:
• Displayed as flashing screen, trigger visual beacons, audible signals, pagers
• High and low pressures and temperatures, high current
• Warnings can notify of process deviation and provide corrective help on console to amend
• Uninterruptible power supply backup on PC allows for safe shutdown in advent of power disruption
