The Baumüller Process Control System

In the field of control center technology, the Nuremberg-based specialist in automation and drive technology has developed a new control center, the Baumüller Process Control System (BPLS, or “Baumüller Prozess-Leitsystem”). The BPLS was primarily designed for use in the printing industry. The printer can control production from this control center, e.g. by regulating web tensions, color area coverage, the quantity percentage of dampening water and many other parameters that affect the printing process.

Thanks to a software solution designed by Baumüller, it is possible to visually represent various types and models of printing machine via retrofit solutions. The Baumüller system solution thus represents the new heart of an old machine. The performance of this solution is measured by the precision color application. This is defined using the CIP 3 standard and carries out color-density control automatically at correspondingly high print speeds.
