Overview
Series 4000 Integrator Controller Features
The Series 4000 Controller range drive all Pryor Dot Peen and Scribe marking machines. Featuring an industrial grade 10.4” resistive touchscreen whihc can be used with gloves. The integrator version is designed for vertical, panel mounting which us ideal for production lines and cells.
The controller features greater I/O capacity for complex control systems; 16 inputs and 12 outputs as standard, with options for up to 32 inputs and 24 outputs.The menu structure will be familiar for operators with previous experience of the (now obsolete) Pryor 3000 Series controllers.
Marking Logos with the Integrated Machine Controller
Logos can be drawn directly on the controller touchscreen or can be imported using a USB pen drive. The controller features pixel editor and simple line drawing tools as standard to assist with logo creation. Saved logos are selectable from a menu list and can be checked before marking, with the on-screen preview option.
Customisable Operator Interface Features
Bespoke graphics or visual instructions can be designed and implemented using the Series 4000 Controller, such as on-screen controls for system features. Operators can follow clear, graphical instructions, and input options can be limited for simple operator instructions with customisable password protection.
USB Memory Stick Interface Features
Users of the Series 4000 Controller can transfer individual layouts to/from the controller. The controller features complete layout and configuration backup and restore. New firmware updates ensure the installation is simple and easy. Data logging ensures all marks made by the machine the controller is attached to are logged to a .csv file. There are options for customising labels, how long to keep data e.g. where to log, and allows logo importing from files.
On-Screen Operator Instructions
Customisable operator instructions can be saved as part of a layout and shown on screen whenever that layout is to be marked.
Trial Run Screen
- Layout can simply be dragged around the screen to a new location
- Machine responds in real time to edits
- Corner to corner outline of mark allows easier checking if the machine is aligned at each extremity
- Incremental jogging of mark dimensions and orientation
Optional extras
The external e-stop can be fitted, if required, at remote location from controller (integrated e-stop included on all controllers as standard). An external keyboard can be connected if touchscreen is not to be used. The controller can integrate with an SQL server and also fully integrates to Pryor PC based software package for data logging, duplicate checking and data reporting.
Password Protection
Three different ways of managing password protection:
|
1
|
Two passwords only
|
Each password can be applied to each menu option individually to restrict access
|
e.g. operator can only mark a layout and not modify anything
|
|
2
|
Three user groups with different access levels
|
Each user group can be give access to every menu option individually
|
Users then have own passwords and are assigned to one of the user groups
|
e.g. Admin has full control, Supervisors can edit settings and layouts, operators can only load and mark layouts
|
|
3
|
Full integration to Pryor PC based software for complex database management of password controls and access levels
|
Additional Machine Controller Options
The Series 4000 Integrator Controller can feature up to 4 I/O cards, (providing 32 inputs and 24 outputs), ethernet TCP/IP connection and Anybus module, providing Profinet, Profibus and many other industrial communication protocols.
