Robuschi’s Technological Prowess on Show at ComVac 2017

At the international Hannover Messe trade fair dedicated to compressed air and vacuum technologies, Robuschi will display the ROBOX screw Hi pressure 65/2P unit with a new feature: the innovative HMI control panel - an advanced touch screen with state-of-the-art technology.

The panel is an advanced, hi-tech touch screen (HMI), which can monitor the operation of the entire unit, with remote connection possible via Ethernet cable or the web. This makes it possible to continuously monitor machine operation from anywhere. Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance additionally help reduce downtime. The device is user friendly with an intuitive menu, easy to programme thanks to the Windows CE platform and can be remotely connected. 

The following commands can be displayed on the innovative HMI control panel: machine status, where you can start and stop the unit and configure main settings; pressures and speeds, showing the pressures and motor speeds; temperature, showing the unit temperatures (T1, T2, T3, T4); alarms, with the alarms log.

This function also includes: the event text, with the alarm name; the event time, with the date and time of the alarm the description, where a short description of the alarm can be entered, to make alarm recognition more intuitive. Plus there is a trend function, which displays pressure, temperature and speed trends. Local start and stop commands can be managed from the HMI or from the two buttons on the machine, if in remote status. In the settings and utilities section, you just need to press the red “Help” button, indicated by the arrow, to go to the help page, with machine manuals and the wiring diagram. Everything is at hand and easy to access. 

The new HMI panel definitely has the edge over competitors, when it comes to service as well. In fact you won't have to remember the next service or maintenance times: everything is clearly and immediately displayed on your control system.  Plus your ROBOX screw unit will always deliver the best performance with the lowest energy consumption, thanks to the precision-adjustment of operating parameters based on process needs using Smart Process Control. Smart Process Control analyses and applies data received directly from the process and regulates operating parameters with no interruptions. Plus you can precisely schedule maintenance, based on actual needs, and considerably reduce unit downtimes and consequently increase the life of the compressor unit, saving on energy bills and investments.
