- Visualization and tracking of parts within departments and work cells.
- Database front-end
- HMI and process monitoring
ANOTRACK software features
The following paragraphs show some of the general features of the ANOTRACK product:
|
Visualization
ANOTRACK
is a complete control and MMI system in one.
With ANOTRACK, there is no need to purchase a second
computer and software licence for MMI |
|
Process
recipe generation
ANOTRACK offers an intuitive and easy-to-use management screen for recipe creation, deletion, and editing.
|
|
Dynamic
Scheduling
ANOTRACK has the most flexible and powerful dynamic
scheduling engine available for multiple hoist control in tanklines. |
|
Fixed-timeway
schedule
ANOTRACK can also be used a flexible fixed-timeway
solution. With an integrated graphical timeway design
tool, writing and maintaining fixed timeways has never been
easier. |
|
Hoist
and shuttle positioning ANOTRACK automatically controls
the position of cranes and shuttles. By
utilizing distributed positioning systems such as
ICS-5000 and Stahltronic, ANOTRACK becomes a powerful
controller. |
|
Temperature
control and monitoring
ANOTRACK automatically controls and monitors tank
temperatures, including time/date scheduling of production
versus weekend setpoints, hi/low alarming, trend displays,
and other features. |
|
Pump,
ventilation, agitation, and misc. controls
ANOTRACK
can be configured to control all elements of your tankline, including pumps, fans, ventilation,
agitation, ultrasonics, and any other discrete or
analog component. |
|
Alarms
and Events ANOTRACK maintains an alarm and event
log that can be configured to provide detailed
accounts of specific alarms and override conditions.. |
|
Part
database operations ANOTRACK can utilize a part
database for recipe selection and by-part settings for
rectifiers, temperatures, and other elements.. |
|
Production
database operations ANOTRACK can generate
production databases to meet the most demanding
reporting requirements. |
|
Object-oriented
Configuration
The ANOTRACK software incorporates the same
Object-oriented configuration structure as ASC's CPC
software packages. This provides unlimited customer
access to configurations and settings of the
system. |
|
Soft-logic
scripting
The ANOTRACK software incorporates VB-like scripting for
all of the "logic" configurations of a system. This
capability allows for easy, "on the fly" changes
to system configurations and operations. |
PLC and I/O hardware solutions
Unlike other software suppliers, ASC is also an expert at many hardware solutions.
We are a UL-certified panel builder with expertise in many types of PLC and hardware platforms.Non-PLC systems
For a simplified and lower-cost alternative to PLCs, ASC's recommended hardware is Ethernet-IO by Opto22. We have utilized this hardware platform for many years, and find it to be a low-cost, high-speed, low-maintenance platform for most control applications.
PLC-based systems
ASC recommends and specializes in Allen Bradley PLCs,
including PLC-5, SLC, and Control Logix. We are also
experts are DeviceNet and Profibus interfaces.
With OPC interface capability, we can communicate to
virtually any PLC on the market.
Hardware expertise
ASC has extensive expertise in the following hardware platforms:
| Opto22 SnapIO | Allen Bradley CompactLogix | Allen Bradley ControlLogix | OPC |
In-house engineering support
Unlike our competitors, ASC has nearly 10 engineers that can provide assistance to you and your organization when it comes to hardware and software support of the ANOTRACK system. We guarantee that you will always find an ASC engineer available work with your technicians when time is critical.
Example documentation
Unlike some competitive products, ASC provides a customized manual for each ANOTRACK implementation. These operator manuals typically include detailed chapters on each element of the system. ASC has provided for download two examples of typical ANOTRACK operator manuals.
