Monitors

Priamus System Technologies (Brunswick, OH) has updated the interface of the WebConfigurator integrated into its eDaq process monitoring system, which is the basic module for monitoring up to 128 cavities for pressure and temperature during injection molding, as well as machine signals, in real time.

A new low-cost operator display panel makes it easier than ever to monitor and change system parameters for Cognex’s (Natick, MA) In-Sight vision system without needing a PC. The features in the VisionView 1.1 software allow engineers to create an operator interface from within the In-Sight Explorer software by choosing the parameters they want to display and selecting those that can be modified on the factory floor. VisionView then automatically generates a deployment interface, and production line operators can make the necessary adjustments.

Three new machine/auxiliary interface protocols have been added to the Syscon-PlantStar (South Bend, IN) library of machine interfaces after thorough testing and installation throughout its user base.

A recent installation is utilizing the PlantStar Portrait system mapped via an Ethernet interface to Milacron’s newest Mosaic control, in which PlantStar is monitoring four machines equipped with Mosaic Control via a single PlantStar data collection module. The Portrait system permits the user to select the parameters from the control that best suit the application.
