Baumüller Automation Solutions

Machines and systems are increasingly built on a modular basis, allowing the use of centralized, decentralized, and hybrid automation concepts. Manufacturing processes that operate with continuous rapid cycles (such as the web processing of paper, foils, or textiles) represent particular challenges to the real-time capability of drive, control, and fieldbus technologies.

With its b maXX-drivePLC, b maXX-controller PLC, and b maXX-softPLC controls and its b maXX HMI solutions - from the text-oriented terminal to the touch panel – Baumüller supports decentralized, centralized, and hybrid control architectures – based on the requirements of the application.

ProMaster reduces the complexity of software development, management, and maintenance. This is achieved through consistent engineering and integrated communication, and by implementing motion control functions independently of the drive and fieldbus systems in accordance with PLCopen and the IEC 61131 programming standard.

The transparency of the automation solution is reflected in the mapped machine structure and the consise graphical display. The communication topology of each machine layer is also displayed.

All the applications necessary for implementing the machine’s functionality interact with one another, ensuring quick and consistent program development.
