New Scalable Measuring, Control and Automation System

The modular design JUMO mTRON T from Germany uses an Ethernet based system bus and an integrated PLC – also for decentralised automation tasks. This measuring, control and automation system, suitable for a wide range of applications, reflects the combination of JUMO's extensive process expertise with a simple, user orientated and user friendly configuration concept.

The heart of JUMO mTRON T is the central unit that provides a process image for up to 30 input/output modules. The CPU is equipped with higher ranking communication interfaces including a web server. For individual control applications, the system has a PLC (CoDeSys V3), program transmitter and limit value monitoring functions, as well as math and logics modules.

Available input and output modules include a multi-channel controller module, analogue input modules with 4 and 8 channels, a relay module in 4-channel version, as well as the freely configurable digital input/output module with 12 channels.

The 4-channel analogue input module is equipped with four electrically isolated universal analogue inputs for thermocouples, RTD temperature probes and standard signals. This allows precise recording and digitisation of a variety of process variables with the same hardware, project planning, material planning and stockkeeping, with the respective cost benefits involved.

Each multi-channel controller module supports up to four stand-alone PID control circuits with fast cycle time and proven control algorithm without encumbering the central unit. The system allows the simultaneous operation of up to 120 control circuits, making it possible to meet the requirements of complex control processes. The inputs and outputs of each controller module can be individually extended and adapted using optional slots.

In addition to visualisation, the multi-functional panel allows convenient operation of the controller and program transmitter. It also permits user-dependent access to parameter and configuration data of the overall system. As a special feature, a full paperless recorder including web server is provided for performing the recording functions. Proven PC programs are available for read-out and evaluation of the historic data. Screen masks, predefined as standard, substantially reduce start-up times.

Thanks to its high flexibility and user friendly structure, JUMO mTRON T, as a measuring, control or automation system, can be easily and conveniently adapted to different applications so that it can be used in a large variety of industries.
