Products & services
Hygienic panel for food and pharmaceuticals
The visually appealing stainless steel Panel is ideally suited for use in hygienically demanding areas such as the food industry and pharmaceutical production. In order to produce impeccable food and medication, high hygiene standards must be met GMP requirements are met. The well thought-out design without joints and edges and the use of hygienic screws make cleaning easier. The beveled, smooth surfaces and rounded edges of the Automation Hygienic Panel allow liquids to drain off unhindered and prevent dirt and bacteria from settling. Thanks to sophisticated cooling, the completely closed system works completely without fans and ventilation slots. Due to the housing construction according to protection class IP69, no liquids or dust can penetrate the device. The Touch Panel with hygienic design meets all the requirements of the EHEDG for more hygienic design Machines and is CE certified. All materials that can come into direct or indirect contact with the products are FDA-compliant and withstand the use of typical cleaning agents, disinfectants and high-pressure cleaners. This means that the Panels are also suitable for use in GMP-regulated areas.

All-in-One-PLC
Technical characteristics of the panel PLC: All PLC panels use CODESYS version V3 as automation software. All programming is done with the CODESYS Soft PLC runtime system according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. This gives you a PLC operating panel with which you can control, visualize and communicate. CODESYS as control software offers the advantage that existing applications can be easily transferred to the new control panel. Depending on the license, the following are used - CODESYS WebVisu - CODESYS TargetVisu - CODESYS WebVisu & CODESYS TargetVisu The fieldbus licenses EtherCAT and Modbus-TCP are included in all variants. We use an embedded Linux distribution with real-time patch as operating system. This ensures real-time capable and smooth operation. For configuration and commissioning of the operating panels, a configuration interface, our self-developed WebConfig, is available. With this configuration tool you can easily change device settings such as time, IP address, etc. You can access the WebConfig operating screen via a separate button on the back of the PLC operating panel or via hidden buttons each time the device is started. Advantages of the Touch PLC series at a glance: - Cost optimization through integration of the CODESYS control system in the touch panel - Optimal use of limited space in the control cabinet - Numerous display diagonals from 7 to 24 inches - Individual configuration through interface extensions and memory upgrades - Development and production in Germany - NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) for storage of persistent data - CODESYS support directly from the manufacturer - PLC panel series can be combined with the entire Christ touch panel portfolio - Operating elements of the touch panel can be read directly in the control system (no wiring effort)
