Dispensing Control System features DeviceNet architecture.

Press Release Summary:




Designed to integrate dispensing system's components with robot or other forms of automation, Next Generation Control System uses DeviceNet open-network, device-level feedbus to link various components, bringing maximum amount of information back to system's Master Station for monitoring and control. Master Station combines Operator Interface and Control Panel through Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 DeviceNet scanner, local I/O, and Allen-Bradley PanelView touchscreen display.

Sealant's New Control System Offers Touch Screen Control Panel with DeviceNet Interface



Sealant Equipment & Engineering Inc.'s Next Generation Control System is a user-friendly, distributed, modular control system designed to integrate a dispensing system's components with a robot or other forms of automation.

The system's architecture, DeviceNet, is an open-network, device-level feedbus that links the various system components and allows them to "talk" to one another. This architecture is designed to bring the maximum amount of information back to the system's Master Station for monitoring and control, while maintaining optimal operation of the actual hardware.

The Master Station combines an Operator Interface and Control Panel through an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04, a DeviceNet scanner, minimal local I/O, and an Allen-Bradley PanelView touchscreen display.

Power distribution, servo motor control for the meter, interface with robotics, crossover control for the material supply pumps and temperature conditioning, pressure or proximity sensors, customer interlocks, and other miscellaneous field I/O are distributed as separate nodes through the system.
