Control System Modernization

High-performance Control System

A prominent Brazilian company in the national textile market found in Altus the ideal solution to maintain the operational stability of its yarn and fabric finishing unit.

High-performance Control System

The solution required three Nexto buses, one main and two expansions, managed by an NX3020 CPU with over 5,000 communication tags integrated into the supervision and control software.

The system, which operates using the open MODBUS TCP protocol, also includes 16 NX1001 digital input modules, 12 NX2001 digital output modules, five NX6000 analog input modules, three NX6001 analog output modules, three NX4000 modules, three NX8000 power supply modules, one NX5001 communication and fieldbus module for PROFIBUS-DP, and 23 frequency inverters.

The high technology used and its advanced scalar architecture, which allows easy integration with the most traditional supervisory systems, make the NX Series programmable controllers the ideal solution for the project. The equipment in the series has an internal bus based on deterministic Ethernet with the possibility of expansion to up to 24 remote racks, each with a capacity of 24 modules, totaling 320 I/O points per rack.

The NX Series also features MasterTool, a complete tool for programming, debugging, configuring, and simulating user applications. With a modern and customizable, object-oriented interface, the software allows the development of advanced functions such as process variable manipulation, recipe management, PID blocks, and timers.
