3. Enhanced productivity thanks to reduction in wiring overhead and space requirement
“My declared aim is: “less wiring”. We already saved 80% of the wiring with the heating control system. … with a resulting 70% space saving in the overall equipment. This also allows us to be considerably more versatile.
Ernst Gebert, Managing Director Metrik Sondermaschinenbau e. K., Creussen
>>> Solution: Less effort, less space, finish quicker<<<
Previously
Solution for heat cartridge control via solid- state contactors:
Control cabinet size 700 mm x 400 mm (now: 200 mm x 300 mm)
With SIPLUS HCS4200
Smaller space requirement in the control cabinet + reduced wiring overhead > All components required for heat cartridge control on board, e.g. fuses
This slide is optional.

4. Improved product quality due to high-speed and informative error diagnostics
“We used to spend ages trying to pinpoint faults by trial and error and it was a pretty hit and miss affair. All we have to do now for HCS diagnostics is press a button. This was a revelation for us and we haven’t looked back since."
Ernst Gebert, Managing Director Metrik Sondermaschinenbau e. K., Creussen
>>> Solution: Improved diagnostics, fewer clicks, fewer errors<<<
Previously
Certain operating state diagnostics were simply not possible e.g. overshoot caused by faulty heating cartridges.
With SIPLUS HCS4200, S7-1513F and TIA Portal
90% time savings when configuring diagnostics > HCS-specific diagnostic block
Fast detection, localization and visualization > Shared database + trace function
