Industrial Automation

Tropimatica has a significant experience in the Project, Development and Installation of Systems for Industrial Automation.

We Project and Install several solutions, from isolated Control Systems up to Production lines of big dimension, equipped with Industrial Networks shared by Programmable Logic Controllers, Robots and Industrial Computers

 

Our activity is divided in four major areas :

Control of Production Equipments

Human - Machine Interfaces

Industrial Networks

Solutions for Supervision and Production Management

 

Control of Production Equipments

We Make the Project of Automation for You Machine

We have a Significant experience in the Project. Development and Installation of Systems for Industrial Automation

Control of Production Equipments

We make the Electric and Electronic project for You machine.

We Identify the best technical solution for every equipment

We Draw the electric diagrams in accordance with existing regulations

We build and install the electric cabinets and other control equipments

 

We Develop the Software for the PLC of Your equipment. WE have a Significant experience in the development of combinational and sequential software for Programmable Logic Controllers.

Control of Digital Signals, locally or remotely installed through networks

Management of Analog Signals : Pressure, Temperature, Position, etc

Communication through RS232/RS485 ports with RFID readers, Scanners, Barcode readers and Printers

Communication with Peripherals through RS485, DeviceNet, Profibus and Industrial Ethernet Networks

Communication between PLC's and Robots through DeviceNet or using digital IO's

Communication between PLC's and Industrial PCs using RS232/485 or Industrial Ethernet

Control Systems

Human - Machine Interfaces

We develop the Human-Machine Interface for Your equipment

We use the most adequate solution for every case

Human-Machine Interfaces
Interface Terminals

TouchScreen Terminals

Allows the communication with the PLC directly or through network. Are efficient solutions for small interfaces, without communications outside the machine. Are easy to program and later modifications can be done without significant training.

Panel PCs

Panel PC

With the same look of the TouchScreen terminals, they are equipped with Operating Systems like Windows CE or Windows XP embedded and are programmed through high level languages like C++ or VisualBasic. Allow the implementation of innovative solutions, like remote maintenance through internet, communication with databases and transmission of data to mobile phones. Can host the Software to control the equipment, avoiding the utilization of one PLC and achieving a significant cost reduction.

Industrial COmputers

Industrial Computers

Are computers specially designed for Industrial environment, equipped with standard operating systems like Windows XP. Can run applications developed in commercial HMI's - more easy to program but with more expensive licenses - or applications developed in high level languages like VisualBasic - more complex to be programmed but license free.

 

Industrial Networks

Tropimatica Designs the Communication Network for Your Production Line

We Connect the various Components of the Machine

We make Connections from Outside

Industrial Networks

 

Tropimatica Designs the communications structure for Your machine.

We connect the different components of the machine, optimizing the flow of information and integrate the industrial equipments into Yours organization's network.

Profibus networks Devicenet networks Ethernet networks
Remote Sensors

 

Remote Installation of Sensors and Actuators

We make the configuration of low level networks, able to reach remote sensors and actuators. This type of solution allows the installation of the IO points near to the sensors and actuators, with significant reduction of cabling, installation time and costs of equipment. We use several types of networks, like DeviceNet and Profibus.

Communication with PLCs

Connection of Production Equipments

We connect the different equipments of the production line through Ethernet, Profibus or DeviceNet. Some examples are :

Connection between PLCs and Speed Controllers through Profibus or DeviceNet, allows the access to all parameters of the Speed Controller from the PLC - Check status of the device, identify alarms, change working frequency, acceleration ramps, etc. Reduces the hardware costs - no need of analog and digital IOs in the PLC, less cables, etc - and makes the maintenance easier.

Communication between Robots and PLC's in DeviceNet The connection of Robots in DeviceNet allows a significant reduction in hardware costs because the exchange of information between the robots and the PLC's through network avoids all IO boards in the PLC and in the Robot. The project, Installation and Maintenance of the equipments is also simplified.

Supervision networks

Supervision Networks

We connect Your production lines to the Ethernet network of Your organization, building a supervision network. Doing this it becomes possible to reach the production equipments from computers installed in management positions, allowing the collection of production data and definition of production specifications. It becomes also possible to reach the industrial equipments from outside through Internet in order, for instance, to implement remote maintenance services

 

 

Solutions for Supervision and Production Management

Tropimatica has a set of products dedicated to Supervision and Management of Production

We collect Production Data and Distribute it at management level

Software for production management

Tropimatica has a set of products dedicated to Supervision and Management of Production. They are able to collect production data, store it in databases and make it available later for management purposes.

We install Software in the production equipments able to automatically collect production data : efficiency, OEE, stop times and production amounts. This information is saved in databases.

We have solutions for management computers, able to access production data online and produce real time status of production.

We can send Production Data online to PDA's through Internet

We can also make production data available in production areas through production boards equipped with plasma screens.
