New electronic measuring unit
Many of our TEST-O-MAT air pressure testers have been in operation for a number of years. During this time there have been significant changes in the field of electronic controllers. For this reason, there will increasingly be problems when needing to procure replacements for defective controller components. The same applies to other electronic components, for example special pressure sensors.
The upgrade kit not only comprises the controller itself, but also all sensors and can filling valves, the rotary transmission between rotary and stationary controller and the complete electronic measuring system. Only part of the cabling, the drive motor and the basic machine control (initiators, etc.) will remain of the old electrical equipment. After this conversion, the complex electronic measuring system, the sensors, etc. will again be state-of-the-art so that procurement of spares is safeguarded for many years.

Another essential advantage would be the design of the new controller. As new standard PLCs, for example Siemens S7 controller, have much higher capacities today than at the time when the earlier TEST-O-MATs were built, the complete measurement data processing system can be integrated into a standard PLC. Additional computers are no longer necessary. This means that the electricians will be able to service this new controller without any problems.

Since the Siemens S7 is a standard industrial controller, you can rely on its resistance against normal electrical interference.

All TEST-O-MATs supplied so far can be converted by simple replacement of components, without mechanical reworking of the existing machine.
Advantages of the new electronic measuring unit for the TEST-O-MAT:
  Industry-standard, robust pressure sensors, available world-wide and compatible with
components of other suppliers.
  Data transmission from rotating measuring rotor to stationary machine components via PROFI-BUS and standard collector
rings with low susceptibility to faults.
  Siemens S7 PLC as electronic measuring unit with world-wide
spare parts service.
  Industry-standard rotary transmission of compressed air with
world-wide availability.
  Touch-type operating panel with multi-language operator
interface.
  Program updates possible via modem.
  For machines with old PLCs: Possibility to integrate the
machine control program into the new S7 PLC.
  Thanks to the industry-standard S7 PLC, the customer's
technicians will be able to modify the program themselves or
following Cantec's instructions.
