Power Z

New, compact and affordable controller from the Power family

It includes basic and basic functions of Motion Control, PLC and a 7 "WSVGA color touchscreen control panel. The structure includes a powerful dual-core RISC 264 Mhz processor. Thanks to the digital and analog I / O and wide connectivity such as CANopen, Modbus RTU and Ethernet (in Client / Server, FTP or WEB server mode), Power Z is suitable for applications where it is necessary to control costs while maintaining high performance. Connectivity provides the ability to monitor functions of machines and factories and with the ability to collect field data from different types of sensors. Connectivity is not only cost-effective, it allows designers to start a new technological development of machines, taking into account the rapid dissemination of IIoT ( Industrial Internet of Things) because of the gradual implementation of the European strategic plan Industry 4.0.

Power Z is locally expandable using an inexpensive I / O extension card connected via SPI or via I / O modules connected via CANopen. Power Z manages the positioning of one axis in analog +/- 10V with position feedback provided by incremental encoder, in addition it manages three-step Dir. or Pwm / Dir axles without position feedback. Thanks to a rich and powerful set of instructions, PLC enables the development of flexible automation applications. The operator panel (HMI) allows the development of personalized graphical interfaces. The exchange of data between the HMI and the PLC is fast and direct, unlike the traditional method of exchanging variables. A USB connector is available on the back of the controller. It is possible to store and upload data, formulas, programs and firmware on a pendrive. Backup and restore allow system update. Programming is possible using a single PC development tool made by Tex Computer. This enables the development of programs for Motion control, PLC and HMI. An online Debugging tool is also available that allows the developer to check the value of each variable, machine status, message, insert breakpoints, logical status of the PLC branches. Power Z, like all other controllers in the Power family, includes a text editor (Integrated Development Environment - IDE) integrated into the operating system that allows the developer to program on the field even without a PC.
Power Z Applications
Various positions , sawing machines, winding machines, spray booths, supervision systems, shoes and leather machines, many different types of special machines and all applications that require a cheap, flexible and reliable PLC with HMI.
