Future proof machine control and operation

The human machine interface is the face of the machine - it needs to make a good impression. It's the first place you turn to for control or for information about machine status. With modern touchpanels in today's digital environment, the importance of smart, connected indicators and pushbuttons is even more critical for data collection and diagnostic information. Plus, it need's to be easy to integrate them with your IT network. Likewise any first impression, design matters. The ergonomic, attractive and functional design of our products make machine operations more intuitive and more efficient. 

Things are changing. Historically, many low to mid complexity applications had to be operated with a standard PLC, as a control relay just didn't have enough flexibility. Today's new generation of machine control relays are engineered to reduce commissioning time and reduce the total cost of the machine. They offer higher flexibility thanks to more I/O, fast Ethernet communication and more possibilities in application programming, including structured text. Why use a PLC when today's intuitive, easy to use and economic control relays can do the job?
