SMC Pneualpha Electronic Controller

The PneuAlpha can be easily integrated into an existing pneumatic valve system, as an 'intelligent' valve island controller. This new module is supplied pre-wired and fully assembled, ready for immediate installation and programming. Once programmed, it's possible to provide interrogation of component quality and improved planned maintenance systems.
In addition to controlling valves, PneuAlpha also allows the user to monitor variables, such as pressure levels and the number of valve cycles. These levels of functionality and simplicity, coupled with a range of options that can satisfy even the most advanced requirements, ensure that PneuAlpha delivers the practical benefits you need - proven effectiveness, reduced costs and minimal set-up and maintenance input.
In summary, the PneuAlpha Intelligent Valve Island Controller module provides not only low cost mainte-nance, but also planned maintenance. This in turn ensures improved production efficiency. Reduction of downtime increased output and therefore increasing profitability, whilst saving on resources and reducing costs.

Intelligent Valve Island with ASi Fieldbus Connectability The PneuAlpha Intelligent Valve Island can connect to an ASi Fieldbus network. This ASi Fieldbus connection affords users the potential to simplify installations, increase functionality and reduce overall expenditure. New components can be selected without proprietary constraints, and linked simply into any existing systems. The ASi Fieldbus network controls specific processes locally and feeds management and operational information to the point of centralised, seamless, distributed control. The ultimate aim of such networking is optimum flexibility, diverse product coverage and ease of integration. Effective control procedures are now essential with open network systems devolving responsibility for system maintenance away from vendors, and towards users. To maximise the available benefits of the ASi Fieldbus network, all one has to do is remove the top cover of your PneuAlpha and replace it with this new Board Connector. This process is simplicity itself, and minimal installation expertise is required. Full access to this two-way databus is as simple as wiring into 2 terminals and snapping onto the yellow ASi Data Cabling. Control and output is further increased by transforming the Intelligent Valve Island into an Intelligent Node System, working within the ASi Network Domain. There are three core objectives, which apply to each model within the PneuAlpha Controller range - to increase levels of control to reduce human input to reduce user costs These objectives are achieved through a commitment to simplicity and versatility, qualities that are no better illustrated than by the Intelligent Valve Island Controller and ASi Fieldbus Board Connector.		Choose Your Application - Or Make Your Own! Flexible Supervisory Control You program the module and you maintain operational control, so future updates and further modifications are significantly simplified. Reduced Wiring The module is supplied completely pre-wired, thus saving time and reducing costs. Pre-assembled & Inspected Once the software is loaded, the module is fully functional at the very first time of asking, set-up time is minimal. Improved Process Reliability Pre-wiring and, if required, pre-programming reduces the likelihood of set-up errors. Programmable Logic Functions The incorporation of 'Program in Process' interlocks significantly reduces the risk of unwanted downtime. Two-way Communications Information is fed from the module and returned, saving time and resources. Component Interrogation Valve life and Actuator Seal life can be programmed in, as are the timings for scheduled changes, as part of the integrated planned maintenance system. Increased System Integrity The capacity to introduce programmable maintenance procedures results in a reduction of unscheduled maintenance downtime. System Feedback Program awareness of maintenance increases system productivity. Pressure Worthy System Establishes ongoing awareness of machine pressure, reducing inferior output. Control Counting System Establishes continuous Product Batch Count Control records, and daily total production counts, significantly reducing costs through highly efficient Control Counting.
