          Novatronic C3

The NOVATRONIC C3 is the latest fully customizable development of the electronic control unit from Sensor Control GmbH, which is based on the proven previous version, the Novatronic C2. These systems are specially designed for the requirements of the ceramics industry and offer solutions for the precise control of moisture and plasticity in ceramic masses.

Features and Benefits

Energy efficiency
By precisely controlling humidity, the systems help reduce energy consumption, which offers both economic and ecological benefits.

User friendliness
The systems are designed to be easy to use and offer an intuitive user interface that allows quick adaptation to different production conditions.

Control

The NOVATRONIC C3 is based on a PLC controller and is for single processing machines and production lines with up to five processing machines like pan mills, rotary screen feeder, single and double shaft mixer feeding extruder.
Following parameters can be used to regulate the addition of water, steam and dry substances with theNOVATRONIC C3:

• moisture [%]
• current consumption [A]
• plasticity [%]
• temperature [°C]
• weight [kg]
• material flow [cm3]
• level detection [%]
• belt speed [ms-1]

The customer has the choice in the PLC Hardware between a SIEMENS S7 or a B&R solution.

Analysis

We know how important is the evaluation of the production process, so the measured data stored in a database and displayed graphically.

In addition to the control parameters, the following data’s can be stored additional in the database:

• consumption of water / steam [L]
• temperature of water / steam [°C]
• flow rate of water / steam [Lh-1]
• consumption of material [kg]
• active power [Ws]
• load profile [W]

Customized desires can be integrated.

Networking

With the NOVATRONIC C3 it is possible all measured Data to import to your company network. About a secured VPN connection the data security is ensured. Thus, even the operation of the NOVATRONIC C3 mobile or from the office possible.

With the NOVATRONIC C3 we offer a remote service and diagnostic based on a broadband data connection for visual and acoustic communication between customers and service technicians.

          Novatronic C2+

During development, the dimensions and parameter structure of the Novatronic C2 were used as a guide, meaning that it is simple to make a 1-to-1 swap between the two systems without a great deal of effort.

Measurement of the power consumption of the selected unit is essential for the system to function. The Novatronic C2+ also offers the option to connect control variables (belt scale or humidity sensor at the infeed of the unit) or additional measurement variables such as pressure (via a plastometer, as an option with additional temperature measurement) or humidity at the unit outlet for the possible construction of cascade control.

The Novatronic C2+ can be used to control up to three valves (1x impulse valve, 2x control valves). The water or steam can be added in a controlled manner or manually with separate release contacts.

The Novatronic C2+ also offers two alarm contacts. If a selectable measurement or output value of the system is exceeded or undershot, a potential-free contact can be switched to indicate this state.

Compact control system for humidity control and plasticity at

• Pan mill
• Mixer
• Circular screen feeder
• vacuum units

Depending on the raw material and the plant situation, an addition of

• Water
• Steam
• Water und Steam
• dry material

can be implemented as a single loop or cascade control.

In combination with a belt weigher also feed-forward is possible.

Here, it can be combined with (according to the measuring task meaningful) plasticity and humidity sensors .

The control unit Novatronic C2+ is offered as follows:

• complete with dosing units for water and steam
• optional strand temperature display
• as a single device with existing peripherals
