PLC programming, open and standard

◆◆ Programming is based on the 5 languages, compliant to
IEC61131-3 standards. This allows to create custom pieces of
AC 3 code according to operator skills (ladder diagram, structured
text, function block diagram and so on);
◆◆ Advanced function block libraries, simplify and speed up the
realization of even the most complex programs (e.g. process
functions, math, logic, etc.);
◆◆ It is possible to create new function libraries and protect the
personal code so that they can be reused when necessary.
Advanced PID algorithm

Accurate PID control.
◆◆ Advanced algorithms for a complete and reliable process
control;
◆◆ Examples of most common control strategies (cascade,
override, multi-loop, ratio, etc.) can be used as is or as
examples for custom application developments;
◆◆ “Smart” function blocks , with overshoot control and
auto-tuning, to obtain a reliable and quality control;
◆◆ 16-bit resolution analogue signals to ensure high accuracy
of calculation and adjustment.

Open connectivity
AC³ can be connected to existing networks using ModBus
standard protocol or through gateways.
Available hardware:
◆◆ RS485 comm with ModBus RTU Master/Slave protocol;
◆◆ Ethernet with ModBus TCP Server protocol;
◆◆ RS232 or 485 comm with ModBus RTU Master, Slave or ASCII
protocols.
expandability and network
◆◆ Additional expansion units (MPDx-0808 and MPDx-1616)

to increase system modularity;
◆◆ Local Area Network between AC³ devices to share
resources via a serial bus (max. 8 instruments).
Communications are implemented in the programming
software using specific function blocks.

The Evolution of AC Station

AC³ compact is the natural replacement of
AC Station controller:
◆◆ The AC Station replacement mounting kit has
the same cut-out (code PA) and the same
amount/type of I/Os;
◆◆ Up to 2 expansion modules can be connected.
Wiring the X1 connector, it is possible to repro-
duce a local area network (LAN) to emulate the
ARCNET function available with the AC Station
units.
Autoclaves
◆◆ Adjustment of pressure and temperature according to
specific profiles (programs);
◆◆ Integration of loading and unloading control logic and
alarm management.
Boilers and steam generators

◆◆ 3 elements drum level control;
◆◆ Salinity and blow-down control;
◆◆ Alarm handling and implementation of
operation logic.
Cold storage rooms for fruits and vegetables

◆◆ Temperature control of antifreeze mixtures and
condensation pressure circuits.
◆◆ Defrost based on the desired values of humidity and
temperature in the environment.
Spray booths
◆◆ Control of temperature and pressure;
◆◆ Spraying and drying recipes.
