Dat@net: The heart of the casting cell

The dat@net control system is an optimized and complete logic, visualization, control and measurement solution.

You know it all too well: Control systems today are expected to handle a much larger number of tasks than merely ensuring trouble-free control of a machine. They must support you in ensuring 

- efficient operation,
- flexible handling of tasks,
- easy programming, and
- comprehensive production diagnostics.


This is possible using hardware and software tailored to the die casting process. Whether you need automatic control and measurement; visualization; a PC-based, scalable hardware architecture with integrated Internet technology or integration of the peripheral equipment; digital interfaces... – all this is possible, and much more. Please don’t hesitate to ask us!

Easy-to-use operator terminal

The operator terminal with resistive touch-panel and TFT display is based on the tried and true Buhler operator philosophy. You can be sure: You won’t have to retrain to use it! 

 

Modular design
The entire hardware and software is modular. The modules are provided with their own power supply, allowing the control system to grow as your needs change. They are interconnected through optocouplers, and data is saved by extremely dependable compact flashes. This ensures that your data will reach its destination safely. In the event of trouble, you will be able to resume production within a short time thanks to the extensive diagnostics feature incorporated in the control system. All digital and analog inputs and outputs are saved online and visualized. This provides immediate and reliable information on faults. The integrated Web technology enables you to send emails from your office or right from the machine to obtain online help from us without delay. Moreover, the customer window allows you to change IO signals without requiring any knowledge of a programming language. The centralized software management system at Buhler will enable you to make major expansions even after years via the Internet. 

Your advantages at a glance: 

- Process mastery with versatile visualization
- High uptime through comprehensive diagnostics and remote maintenance using Internet technology
- Fast responses to changes using the customer window
