General information
Features and applications
The UC-RF control unit, connected to the PLC via one of the available buses, allows the latter to read the current position measured by the connected indicators, their status (battery status, errors, settings,...), their configuration parameters and to transmit to each one a possible target position and to configure the parameters (Fig.1).
UC-RF is compatible with all Elesa RF indicators such as: DD52R-E-RF, DD51-E-RF and MPI-R10-RF, receiving their actual position from the indicators (Fig.1).
The radio frequency system network allows different machines to coexist in the same space without problems of mutual interference.
This system is particularly suitable for applications that require frequent format changes, facilitating the correct adjustment of the target/current position of the machine parts, also representing a safety system.
In fact, if even just one indicator were not in the target position, the PLC would not allow the machine's production cycle to start, thus avoiding starting incorrect productions.
