SyncLogic
SyncLogic is an open architecture PC-based automation system for the control and visualization of technological processes in automatic machines and in industrial automation.
SyncLogic implements the SoftPLC as well as different methods for providing an operator interface. The PC based hardware also offers all the usual advantages such as standard peripherals and Windows style software.
The system is very similar to the SyncMotion product line, except for the SoftMotion modules which are not included. The main difference is that the basic SyncLogic is a supervision system with a Modbus RTU fieldbus.
A standard PC platform allows it to achieve maximum benefits in terms of power, computational speed, cost effectiveness and availability of standard peripherals. SynLogic hardware is based on low-power CPU (fanless) and the Solid-State-Disk to ensure reliability in industrial environments (no rotating part).
SyncLogic is proposed as a Panel PC with 10.4”, 12.1” or 15” TFT and touch screen, ideal for mounting on machine, or as a black box, without integrated display, with the possibility of connecting an external standard monitor.
Soft-PLC: the integrated Soft-PLC run-time module is designed for complex and time-critical operations. The engineering tool is a user friendly, graphic oriented environment allowing high level multitasking, IEC 61131-3 compliant programming. Users can choose from five different programming languages: Instruction List, Ladder Diagram, Function Block, Structured Text or Sequential Flow Chart, to best suit their needs and the application. A symbolic debugger allows step by step execution, breakpoint setting and the monitoring of variables at run-time. Application downloading and debugging is executed through a standard Ethernet TCP/IP communication link between the development tool and the control unit.
Fieldbus: SyncLogic can be equipped with a filed-bus interface like a Profibus-DP, CANopen or DeviceNet master provided with a dedicated processor to offload the main CPU from the communication process. The distributed modular I/Os are connected directly to the field-bus. A standard configuration tool, accessible from the Soft-PLC development tool, can be used to set-up the field-bus network and to easily add third-party, standard devices.
Distributed I/O: in order to complete the SyncLogic product line, PRIMA ELECTRONICS provides a wide range of distributed I/O modules: digital, analogue and expert (positioning, counter, interface for temperature sensors).
HMI: SyncLogic provides the WinNBI (Windows Network Based Interface), a software development tool, extremely powerful and easy to use, dedicated to the HMI and used to display, control and supervise any automation application. The WinNBI runs on a standard PC under Windows operating system but it is also possible to modify the screens directly on SyncLogic. It is possible to handle pre-defined graphic objects, alarms and multi-language text. The Remote WinNBI is the distributed version running on a remote PC connected to the control unit through Ethernet TCP/IP.
