Open and cost-efficient

For the automation of applications with low to medium complexity it is the right choice: The C6 COMPACT 3. Its concept is based on the Linux operating system and offers an open microservice architecture. Its container-based technology allows various software functions to be integrated and organized. The system is future-proof thanks to the use of the latest multicore technology and real-time capable motion control – programmable via IEC 61131.

The C6 COMPACT 3 can be used for various tasks in addition to the actual machine automation. For example, it can act as a gateway between a higher-level control and a programmable control system with KEB Motion functionality. Among other things, an OPC UA server serves as an interface. Furthermore, the control can be used as HMI server device. It realizes the communication with one or more 3rd party systems and enables browsers to provide the contents via an HMI server.

Highlights:

• Low-cost control
• Real-time motion control
• Gateway, IIoT/edge device, HMI server
• Linux-based, open microservice architecture

Easy project planning and development with real-time data

With HELIO, intuitive HMIs can be created quickly and easily. Thanks to modern web technology, the HMIs are truly responsive and independent of platforms and end devices. Developed by certified UX experts, HELIO provides sophisticated templates that already include professional interface design out-of-the-box. This means that the result is not only easy to use, but HELIO itself is also quick and easy to learn, thus helping to significantly reduce development costs.

Highlights:

• No code: HMI development without any programming
• Works anywhere: future-proof and flexible thanks to true responsiveness
• Usability out of the box: HELIO does the UX design for you
• Live and direct: edit with real live data from the system

To complement this, we offer the right hardware in the form of the C6 X1 Web HMI series. With their sleek design and first-class functionality, these HMI panels set new standards in the industry.

High-performance permanent magnet break

The COMBIPERM P2 is a very compact and powerful permanent magnet brake with a frictionally engaged, backlash-free effect. In comparison with the COMBIPERM P1, the brake has a shorter assembly space and requires less power for increased performance. In addition, due to its structure, it can also be used in temperatures as low as -40°C. In the energised state, the magnetic field of the permanent magnet is cancelled and the connected component can rotate without residual torque. In the event of an emergency stop or if the power is switched off, the safety brake engages, brakes and holds the drive safely in position. Thanks to the short switching times and the compact design, these brakes are ideal for servo motors and the medical industry. The high-performance brake has a torque range of 0.8 Nm to 60 Nm.

Highlights:

• Eight sizes
• Can be used in temperatures as low as -40 °C
• Backlash free
• Frictional engagement
• Up to ten million switching cycles as standard

High transparency and machine availability

Machines and systems rethought: As a platform, NOA offers the possibility of designing your own automation solutions on the basis of open systems. In addition to hardware and software products from KEB, the concept can be easily expanded – through the user‘s own expertise or the integration of third-party providers. This means that basic elements can be simply supplemented with knowledge from specialised companies.

The core infrastructure on the edge component (NOA Core) is based on a Linux and container-based architecture and can be used on embedded hardware, IPCs and panels from KEB or 3rd party devices. The App Manager is used to operate NOA apps such as solutions for HMIs, machine learning (anomaly detection and predictive maintenance), monitoring and control systems as well as customised or 3rd party apps. Apps and devices can be managed across locations in the optional cloud component (NOA Portal). NOA is also customisable as a white label version for OEMs and end customers to enable business models such as “automation platform-as-a-service”.

Highlights:

• Hardware independent
• Future proof real open​ architecture
• Add your own and 3rd party apps
• Increasing flexibility
• Linux and container based architecture
