71Brewing selected the Horner XL10 OCS along with SmartRail series I/O to control each of the brewing vessels in their brewery, monitoring temperature and pressure associated with each vessel. Use of SmartRail I/O rather than the XL10s inbuilt I/O allowed all I/O wiring to run to the back of the control panel for easier installation and also provided a cost effective way of implementing the analog input heavy I/O functionality.

Thanks to SIKO close partnership with a circle of customers from internationally leading machine manufacturers, that allowed SIKO to set standards for decades with innovative solutions for efficient format production when changing products, and Horner OCS capability to integrate in a All-In-One solution PLC, HMI, I/O and Network , a Complete Quick Size Change Solution compliant with Industry 4.0 requirements has been developed.

For this solution, Datamech implemented the controller and it’s programming for Talia Properties EOOD in Greece. The expected lifespan for this solution is over 20 years.

OCS-I/O is a modular I/O system for OCS offering a fieldbus network (CsCAN) from the CNX116 base. It is a flexible I/O system that can be applied as a local expansion I/O or as remote I/O distributed over hundreds of meters.
