Optimizing processes for slurry mixing
IO-Link architecture
By modifying the mixing technology, you can reduce costs while maintaining the same quality, save energy and improve throughput. The efficiency of the electrodes also depends heavily on the mixing conditions and operation. Monitoring and adjusting the temperature and pressure within the production circuit based on an IO-Link architecture guarantees the correct viscosity of the slurry and therefore the best performance of your cell production equipment. IO-Link supports the simple and cost-effective conversion of analog to digital signals to improve the efficiency of the system.
Features
- IO-Link for analogue signals, process visualization, pressure and temperature sensors
- Analog hub for cost-efficient signal conversion
- SmartLight visualization of process target and actual values
- Monitoring of fill levels
