Testing for the ability to effectively control movement

Technical experts Consist Construction"" completed a series of tests of the programmable logic controller (PLC) Consyst Electronics L22_40CU_T, confirming its ability to effectively control motion (Motion Control). During testing, the equipment demonstrated high performance, reliability and control accuracy, providing optimal results for a wide range of industrial applications. This was LANIT announced on March 11, 2024.

PLC Consyst Electronics L22 Series - modular and compact devices for creating medium and small automation systems in various industries. They are advantageous for assembly quality, stability of operation, as well as ease of maintenance and competitive price. Thanks to the built-in Motion Control feature, L22_40CU_T controllers can be used to control movement and positioning in various areas. These are transport and reloading systems, packaging equipment, metal cutting machines, electronics production, control of conveyor lines, dispensers, palletizers, coordinate machines, positioners and other equipment.

Verification of "fast" outputs and inputs was carried out to confirm the declared technical characteristics using a frequency signal generator and an oscilloscope. The test set and measured frequencies in the ranges of 1 Hz to 100 kHz for pulse outputs and 1 Hz to 200 kHz for high-speed counters. The comparison results confirmed the declared frequency range of the controller.

The motion control function in the L22 40CU T Consyst Electronics expands the capabilities of the controller, allowing you to solve the problems of linear and rotary movement along individual axes. The model supports up to four axes. The test results confirm the stability and efficiency of the Motion Control L22 40CU T without failure. This feature will enable the customer to optimize production processes, improve control accuracy, and increase overall system performance. said Sergei Kalitka, director of the technical division "Consist Construction."

Testing the firmware of the L52 series and the L52_2CP_ETH module

Specialists "Consist Construction" (business unit "Consist Business Group," part of the LANIT group) tested the latest version of the firmware for processors of the L52 series and the L52_2CP_ETH module, which supports the OPC UA protocol (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture). The interface guarantees the reliability and security of communication between devices and systems in industrial networks.

OPC UA is one of the most common data exchange standards in manufacturing automation and other industries. The OPC UA server returns the timestamps needed to synchronize events and accurately determine when information is received or modified. The protocol provides powerful encryption and authentication mechanisms, which improves the security of data transfer in industrial networks.

Thanks to the OPC UA standard, users will be able to integrate Consyst Electronics programmable logic controllers into both existing and new systems in enterprises.

Compatibility with OPC UA is an important step in the development of the company's products, which opens up prospects for optimizing and implementing new standards and protocols at automation facilities. The L52 series controllers and the L52 2CP ETH module are used in various industries, including manufacturing, power, and others. Compatibility with OPC UA technology greatly expands the capabilities of these devices and makes them even more popular for users. said Sergei Kalitka, director of the technical division "Consist Construction."
