Picture this: A 300 ft. mega yacht sails through the quiet calm of the Caribbean Sea. The captain, who has temporarily stepped away from the control room, receives an alarm notification on his Apple® iPad™ from the ship’s monitoring and control system, SiMON, that one of the generators is experiencing a fault. He quickly contacts a crew member to investigate the potential problem.
The reality: Palladium Technologies partnered with Schneider Electric utilizing the OEM Technology and Solution Center to implement MachineStruxure™. Their innovative solution used Modicon® M258 programmed with SoMachine® software. The Modicon M258 is the newest compact and expandable PLC and the only PLC on the market to communicate using Ethernet UDP and it is programmed with SoMachine software, the first programming software that allows users to design, commission and maintain the logic for drive, motion and HMI controllers in a single environment.
The MachineStruxure™ offer helps users design integrated, energy-efficient and cost-effective installations, while maximizing performance. Based on tested, validated and documented architectures, MachineStruxure incorporates flexible and scalable hardware platforms with SoMachine software, a comprehensive single software suite with application function block libraries.
