Sedomat 5500

Advanced touch screen controller with modular I/O

The Sedomat 5500 is the most powerful instrument in the Sedomat controller family. With a large and easy to use touch screen the Sedomat 5500 offers high performance ideally suited for the automation of complex dyeing machines. Active parallel functions are virtually unlimited, reducing process time through optimized control of machine parts such as tanks and dosing stations.

The ideal choice for a manufacturing environment, internet web browser technology running on the Windows CE operating system means the Sedomat 5500 can be controlled remotely from any PC on the factory network. Standard interfaces including Ethernet and USB make physical connection easy and simple.

The modular I/O of the Sedomat 5500 is easily configured match the exact requirements of all types of dyeing machine (yarn, fabric, jigger, dryer, etc.).

Open connectivity - standard protocols

Applications:

32 hours/day:
By simultaneously executing two batches and several functions, the next batch can be prepared, while the current batch is still active.
Connection to the SedoMaster central management system.
Integration with chemical dispensing and automation of dye kitchen.
Master/slave-operation.
Storage of a virtually unlimited number of dyeing programs.
Logging of temperature curve, functions, alarms, etc. Visualization of process information on Sedomat 5500 or on a remote PC.
Support of different languages and character sets, e.g. Chinese.
Linear, progressive and degressive dosing curves.
Control of temperature, speed, pH, flow, pressure, etc.

Concept:

1 controller for all dye machines. The configurable internal I/O matches the requirements of different types of dyeing machines.
PC based: built around a high performance state of the art PC-CPU board.
Color touch screen: intuitive user interface, easily adopted by operators. Any function (heating, filling, etc.) can be activated by just touching this function on the screen. Push buttons on screen replace push buttons on panel.
USB interface: for inexpensive devices like memory keys, (copy/save programs) and other PC peripherals.
Internet technology (integrated web server): for remote access from any PC in the plant network via Microsoft Internet Explorer. A mini central system is now possible by using standard Microsoft software only. Also remote service via Internet (VPN) is possible.
• Windows CE: robust operating system tailored for industrial applications.
Ethernet TCP/IP network: link to SedoMaster and communication with other dye house systems.
Profibus DP interface: to link remote I/O modules (e. g. Profi 16 and Profi 32), invertors, etc.
OPC: OLE for Process Control: integration with supervisory systems.
Internal PLC and PC programming tools for 100% adaptation to the features of your dyeing machine.
Can be used as data acquisition terminal.
Options:
- Barcode reader for tracking purposes
- USB memory stick,
- Touch screen stylus.
