With the new "KS 108 family", PMA Prozeß- und Maschinen-Automation, Kassel/Germany, starts a new era for
high-performance process controllers and multi-zone controllers. The devices offer compact combinations for
control, sequencing, visualization, and operating functions plus numerous field bus interfaces. This new
automation approach combines PMA's established control technology with the IEC 61131 programming environment.
As a result, use and application of the ready-made function blocks of PMA's control technology is not restricted
to experienced programmers - i.e. there is no need to "reinvent the wheel". In this way, the decades of experience
accumulated by PMA are now available in the form of tried and tested functions in a library.
The robust, low-profile metal housing is fitted either with a 5,7 or a 10-inch touchpanel (TFT or CSTN), and
practically all types of industrial interfaces are available at the rear of the unit. At the front, a USB port
permits the use of memory sticks. Control parameters are adjusted by means of PMA's standard BlueControl® tool. Apart
from the well-known RM 200 and vario I/O systems, PMA now offers the new RL 400 for decentralized digital & analog
inputs/outputs - a modular system based on rail line, which is expandable without the restrictions of a back panel.
Find out more about the features of this new automation family, and the possible solutions it offers: Save time and
costs, implement individual projects quickly and reliably, and make optimum use of available resources.
Visit one of the main autumn exhibitions in 2006.
PMA will be participating in Nuremberg at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2006:
Hall 7A booth 126.
The press photo is showing the KS 108 with the operating page of a cascade controller, the IO-modules of the families
vario and RL 400, and a typical engineering page of this automation system. More info about RL 400 not before April 2007.
