With the continuous development of science and technology, modern chemical plants and manufacturing industries, whether out of safety considerations, or in view of the high cost of labor factors, the degree of automation of the requirements of the increasing, automation is also in the international market to compete in the choice, and robots, in the modern chemical plants to advanced automation process, played a very important role.

I. Application Scenarios

CIA Automation and Robotics specializes in industrial automation and integrated robotic systems for a wide range of industries such as industrial automation, automotive, plastics, welding and 2D/3D machining.

Challenges: different applications; different protocols

“We integrate automation systems, test benches and machines, which are controlled by PLC and SCADA systems for different industrial applications [e.g. food processing, chemical, glass, plastics, metal processing, metallurgy, automotive, etc.]”, said Mr. Angelo Galimberti, Director of CIA Automation and Robotics. Mr. Angelo Galimberti, Director of CIA Automation and Robotics.

“Given the different application requirements of our customers, we typically need to connect different devices in an integrated automation system that use different communication protocols.” Angelo Galimberti continues to add.

“For example, we often use robots with DeviceNet interfaces, while the PLC interface is usually PROFIBUS, which requires flexibility in different design conditions.”, “In addition, we produce a large number of devices that use PROFIBUS as a master and DeviceNet as a slave, as well as devices that use DeviceNet as a master and PROFIBUS as a slave.”

Solution-Anybus X-Gateway Gateway

“We tried multiple solutions for multiple products in theProduct Functions and FlexibilityThe analogies were made with attention to the product'sprice/performance ratioEventually.HMS's Anybus product was the top of the list, taking into account both technical and cost considerations! ”

“The Anybus product from HMS allows us to solve the needs of different application scenarios in a simple way, our existing applications 90% all contain robots and PLCs and mostly use PROFIBUS and DeviceNet”.

Anybus gateways, with more than 300 product models with the same product appearance and dimensions. Responding to ChangesThe problem faced by CIA Automation and Robotics was perfectly solved by the Anybus X-gateway gateway, which they realized:

• Quickly connect to any industrial network
• Fast startup, installation and configuration
• Future connectivity to any industrial network
