PlantStar Data Collection Modules boast unmatched shop floor redundancy with the capability to gather data from any machine via direct analog, digital, or serial signals, or through a large number of supported machine interfaces, including OPC-UA, MODBUS, EUROMAP63, and even proprietary interfaces for Toshiba, Husky, NISSEI, Sumitomo and many more. This holds true even if you have legacy equipment. Up to 24 analogs, 16 digital inputs, 8 outputs and/or machine protocol interfaces can be combined in a single unit.

With PlantStar's Manufacturing Execution System, if your APU is down or you experience network issues, the Data Collection Module can still operate for an extended period of time for any previously scheduled jobs. Additionally, the Data Collection Modules can handle cycle times as low as 70ms.

The SYSCON PlantStar Human Machine Interface (HMI) is used to provide information to Operators from the PlantStar system software and to allow Operators to provide input and take essential actions on the shop floor. All functions are provided in an easy-to-use-browser-based interface with touchscreen control.  An external HDMI port allows factories to utilize large screen displays throughout their plants.
