Dear customers,
in the period from 24th of december 2018 to 1st of january 2019 our company will remain closed. We wish you a merry christmas, a happy start into the new year and are available to you starting from 2nd of january 2019 again as used.
Yours sincerely
Your Digitronic Team
Since 26th September 2015, heating systems are also provided with the known ErP label. It can already be found on washing machines, refrigerators and other electrical devices. The label delivers information about the energy efficiency of a product by the classification of the devices into different classes.
Besides the individual systems for heat generation, also integrated facilities will be labelled by the installer. An integrated facility could consist of a heat generator, a solar-thermal energy system, a temperature controller and a peak load boiler.
For this reason, also the effects of our DigiENERGYs on the efficiency of the integrated facility have been evaluated. Due to its versatile functions, the DigiENERGY has been classified into the highest temperature controller class, class VIII.
The class VIII is defined as the following notification of the EU Commission (2014/C 207/02):
An electronic controller equipped with at least three room temperature probes, which modifies the constant flow temperature of the water flowing off the heating device depending on the overall measured deviation from the room temperature of the settings of the room temperature probes. The heating system would be controlled by modulation of its performance.
Thus, the efficiency of the heat supply has increased by 5 % according to the regulation. Although DigiENERGY offers considerably more control options, the requirements defined in the label do not reach any further.
As being an installer, please find here the necessary technical documents for the integration of the DigiENERGY into an integrated label.
Dear Customers,
Due to technical problems of the service “No-IP”, there are currently occasional faults when accessing DigiENERGY or LAN gateways via the Internet. We make a free of charge alternative available to you with our Energy Management Server (EMS) so that you can nevertheless easily and comfortably access your DigiENERGY or LAN gateway.
The serial number (MAC address) of your device is important for the one-time registration which would take less than 3 minutes.

At the company Siemens, a change will start from the controller generation Simatic S7-300 and Simatic S7-400 to the next generation with the designation Simatic S7-1500.
The latest controller generation will be equipped with a rapid counter module, but it will only have very limited cam switch unit functionalities. For time sensitive tasks, the manufacturers of packaging machines, filling and labelling machines, printing machines and presses would still require the functionality of an electronic cam switch unit in terms of a separate hardware with very rapid and above all, a constant cycle time.
Digitronic offers an Ethernet interface in the latest electronic cam switch unit CamCon DC190, which allows communicating with the PLC controls of different manufacturers. The protocol PROFINET has been integrated in the CamCon DC190 for the exchange with the Simatic S7-1500. In this way, it is possible to program cams, to change cam or product programs, to adapt speed compensation values and, in case of need, read and write the system parameters of the electronic cam switch unit from the Simatic controller. All this will be performed with the handling and data modules included in the delivery.
The constant cycle times in the most rapid application parametrisation are at only 80¼s (micro seconds). In these 80¼s, the position and the speed are going to be recorded in the connected position metering system and the 32 digital outputs will be switched, including the speed compensation channel by channel.
Since the product lines Simatic S7-300 and Simatic S7-400 made by Siemens will be replaced in the future, mechanical engineers have to equip the next generation of their machines with the Siemens Simatic S7-1500, if they would like to bet on the controller supplier Siemens. The change will be additionally accompanied by Simens with a clear increase of the purchasing price for the present controllers.
Digitronic solves this problem for mechanical engineers from now on by using the CamCon DC190. It is equipped with 32 outputs 24 VDC onboard with a respective capacity of 500mA per output, starting from a simultaneity factor of 100%.
There are additional 16 digital inputs for a direct linking in the DC190 to sensors, actors, buttons, operating elements and the like available to the user. These links do not have any effect on the cycle time and allow product inquiries in the production process by using optical sensors, manual operating functions and safety locking. 2 inputs for SSI absolute encoders or 1 input for incremental encoders 24 VDC would be available for the position metering.
The parametrisation and programming of the CamCon DC190 has been either performed by handling modules in the Simatic S7 or by the Digitronic programming software Digisoft CamCon WEB.
Particularly for production and packaging plants of hygiene products, there are several angle-synchronous shift registers available, in order to guarantee the product tracing during the production process. A special software package is also available to control presses and automatic punching machines with integrated digital and analogue cam outputs, monitoring of the pressing force and tool protection.
