Totally Integrated Automation

Complete automation solutions require a carefully coordinated selection of system components to cover the whole function range. Only in this way is it possible to obtain system solutions that extend from the management, control and drive levels to the actuator and sensor levels with consistent system responsibility.

Modular engineering permits flexible adaptability to the size of the task in hand. And, with the growing trend towards distributed solutions, bus capability of the individual components is growing in importance. A prominent role is played here by the drives that supply the mechanical power, the operator controls that provide the human-machine interfaces and, last but not least, the integrated bus systems.
