HMI's & 3D printing to support your retrofit

Our HMI's have established themselves in many retrofit projects.
They are used as a human-machine interface between the operator and our programmable logic controllers.

Do you need a compliant device housing?
No problem, our engineers plan and create a suitable UL-compliant device housing using 3D printing.

PCB design & circuit design

We are happy to support you in the creation of circuit diagrams and PCB layouts.

Software service

Do you need support in programming our high-speed FPGA industrial PLC and our multi-networkable HMI MVisio Soft PLC?
We offer programming solutions in structured text for our ZX controller. We also provide support with µC programming.

We can also create your customised safety solution.
We have the customised and certified safety solution for your system! The programme already included in the control system, created and certified by us, saves you the entire safety programming effort. You wire your safe TALOS safety controller like any standard safety relay, select the programme and off you go.

SCB replaces old pneumatic timing relays

Pneumatic timing relays used up to now usually no longer fulfil the state of the art. This means that it is no longer possible to safeguard the system in accordance with standards.
The SCB ensures the current state of the art and thus conformity with the applicable standardisation both in the case of a retro-fit and when installing new burner systems.
Our SCB series timing relays are also UL listed.

The retrofit solution for safe and cost-efficient firing systems

Modernise your firing systems with the SR3D and effortlessly meet the requirements of EN 50156-1 - without major conversions or expensive contactor combinations!

• Ideal for retrofit projects: The SR3D replaces old, oversized and costly diverse contactor combinations with a compact, modern solution.
• Integrated safety: With internal, redundant and diverse relays, the SR3D complies with the latest safety standards - perfect for retrofitting.
• Cost-efficient and space-saving: Reduce installation effort, installation space and operating costs while bringing your system up to the latest state of the art.

Retrofit now and secure a future-proof, standard-compliant solution - with the SR3D as the centrepiece of your retrofit project!

Save space in your switch cabinet

Experience the ultra-slim modules of the MINOS SL series. These extremely compact safety relays with a width of just 6.2 mm pursue one goal:

To provide a modular, cost-optimised safety solution that is reduced to the essentials:

• Wear-free, safe semiconductor outputs
• High level of diagnostics thanks to status and error LEDs
• Extremely modular & cost-efficient
• Variants for numerous applications
• Up to PL e / Cat. 4 / SIL 3

Safety relay for use outside the control cabinet - IP65

The TETHYS IP65 SR is a universally applicable safety relay with three safe relay contacts. It ensures that the moving parts of a machine are switched off quickly and safely in the event of danger. Can be used up to PL e, SIL 3, category 4.

The waterproof and dustproof housing in accordance with protection class IP65 allows operation outside control cabinets, e.g. directly on the machine. This makes the TETHYS IP65 SR perfect for decentralised and demanding applications.

In addition, the TETHYS IP65 SR is certified for use in combustion plants in accordance with EN 50156-1 and EN 746-2.

Safety consulting & engineering for machine operators

As a machine operator, you are responsible for protecting your employees and must fulfil the legal requirements for occupational health and safety and machine safety. This applies from the purchase and operation through to the conversion or modernisation of your machines. Our Safety Consulting & Engineering provides you with expert support in all phases of the machine life cycle so that you can work safely and efficiently.

Practical example: Retrofit of automated jam packaging for the confectionery manufacturer Zentis

Together with the operator we optimized the existed automated lid feeder for Zentis.

Within the project the following tasks have been realized:

• Status review of the existing system and hardware, including software analysis and current problem description
• Concept development with ZANDER MVisio HMI and High-Speed Controller ZX20TP as well as a joint elaboration of software requirement specifications
• Realization of whole software solution
• Implementation of the software based on the requirement
• Putting the system into operation
• Individual adjustments together with the operator
• Documentation and training of application software

In cooperation with the client the following benefits have been developed:  

• Higher selectivity and real-time processing through High-Speed Controller ZX20
• Fast diagnosis and error messaging by process visualization together with the HMI’s
• Saving of hardware by software parameterization with HMI MVisio
• Enabling of access rights / free program extension and desired parameterization
