EPRO Upgrade Kit

Even the best system needs to be renewed at someday. However, renewing does not mean to replace completely. With the FMT24S Central Processor we present the modern update for the longstanding EPRO Control System. This change is urgently needed, as for the ArcNet-System no spare parts will no longer be available in the foreseeable future and thus problems in future production processes are programmed. To avoid this situation, we have developed a solution, which modernises your system where it is necessary, so that you will have an up-to-date timing system. Instead of the old DOS-computer a modern PC with Windows Operation System and a special version of the FMT24S-Software will be used. The network connection is done via an own Ethernet connection. The network components like switches, cables and connector systems will be updated.

Up-to-date, versatile, long-lasting – the EPRO Upgrade Kit secures your production offering new possibilities.

1. Connection for the EPRO - On-Site Operation
The complex on-site operation with the steel manifolds, the blow and blankside operator panels and the section interface boards behind, will be continued to be used together with the field wiring.

2. Connection for the EPRO - Valvedriver-Bus
The complete valvedriver system of the EPRO remains. It will be controlled compatibly by the FMT-MPR via the EIB componentry.
