WEBER Process Control System (WPS)
-
Operating system control is Windows-XP® embedded.
-
Flash memory card for operating system, process data and formulae.
-
Long-term data back up with external storage media via USB or Ethernet interfaces.
-
Data recording and back up via the Intranet.
-
Optional Internet connection for remote diagnosis via the Ethernet.
-
Can be networked for central recording of operating and machine data via BDE systems.
-
High operational security due to individual allocation of different access levels.
-
Process control operation via a central operating panel which can be rotated on the control cabinet, installed in the control cabinet door, fixed onto a swivel arm or on a mobile operating console.
-
Control of up to 32 drives and 80 temperature control zones.
-
Control of other analogue values and use of special functions possible.
-
Alarm for all analogue process values if adjustable limits are exceeded or undershot.
-
Temperature control with minimum and maximum alarm display and start lock should the minimum temperatures not be reached.
-
Alarm notification logging.
-
Automatic recording of trend graphs of all analogue values and temperatures.
-
Permanent function monitoring of the extruder: e.g. motor breakdown, control of all heating zones, temperature of the main drive.
-
Saving of process engineering parameters and setting data in separate formulae (temperatures, ramps, setting options for chronological advance and lag).
-
Control of downstream equipment and peripheral equipment (gravimetry, co-extruders, haul-offs and saws).

As an alternative a EUROMAP 27 (CAN-Bus) line control is also available.
