Get to know Scout:
With Scout, you monitor all machines, including those without a CNC or PLC controller.
If you have conventional or manual machines in your company, i.e. those that are not numerically controlled by a CNC or PLC controller and you want to monitor their operation, we have a way to do it. This also applies to older CNC machines, press brakes or lasers.
In order to monitor the operation of these machines we supply an I/O (Input/Output) module:
Scout LanTick
With the Scout LanTick module, it is possible to read the states of analog signals from the machine and then transmit them via LAN to our SCT software. The SCT then passes the data on to the Scout server:
The Scout LanTick module is often used to connect signals from an “indication light” mounted on the machine. The inputs on the module also work in pulse count mode. Configuration of the module is simply a matter of setting the LAN IP address on the module.
Examples of information that can be read by the Scout LanTick module:
- state of the machine: running, not running, presence of an alarm
- state of the periphery, e.g. machine door open
- the moment the pedal is pressed on a press brake (= running)
- counting of parts, e.g. in a paint shop or other machine where parts move on a belt, rollers, or in some other way
- roller revolution counting in printing machines ( = meters of material, speed)
- …any other information identified by 10-24 V DC signals.
Scout LanTick Technical Specifications
- number of inputs: 8
- input type: NO voltage, optoisolated,
- input voltage: 10-24VDC,
- maximum counter value: 4 294 967 296,
- maximum input frequency: 1000Hz.
- 1 Ethernet port 1x10Mbps.
