With more than 50 items in its product basket, Nexto Series programmable controllers offers solutions that provide safety and high productivity for the most varied demands of national and international industry. Launched last week, the NX5101 module, our new MODBUS TCP remote, has arrived to give even more versatility to the already complete family of programmable controllers. The equipment, which has integrated power supply and input and output points, is ideal for controlling different processes in distributed systems, such as those found in applications Buildings, from Water and Wastewater, Agroindustry and Air conditioning.
As an example of where the new NX5101 remotes can be used, we can mention the system applied in a unit of the Grupo Fava, a company specializing in the air conditioning and distribution of bananas, which, in 2017, started using the technology of our most advanced series of products to optimize the performance of its production processes. The solution developed by Deltafrigo in partnership with the TECNICAL, one of our certified integrators, is responsible for managing the entire plant refrigeration process, including controlling compressors, condensers and operating levels of important system variables, such as pressure, temperature, gases and alarms. The application has the capacity to control, in a fully automated way, the recording and traceability of data from the entire air conditioning process of the unit, located in the city of Jundiaí/SP.
Using the technology of our programmable and remote controllers, the applied solution also controls humidity control systems and controlled atmosphere, which manages the generation, mixing and proportion of gases injected into the unit's cooling tunnels. The automation used in the project provides greater savings to the customer, as it reduces the consumption of gases such as N2 and C2H4 and eliminates the high costs of purchasing nitrogen and ethylene, gases used in the air conditioning process. With around 1,200 communication points, the solution is also responsible for controlling and supervising the cooling process, which, in addition to all other systems, gives the customer total control over the banana's air conditioning cycles.
Frutos do Sol uses Nexto remote
Recently, the Frutos do Sol, a company that also works with the controlled ripening process, applied the same system in its production unit in Recife/PE, however, using the NX5100 remotes, another MODBUS TCP module option offered in the Nexto Series. Just like the new NX5101 model, the remotes used in the project have expansion for input and output modules, a feature that perfectly matches the I/O cards of the Nexto Jet solution. By implementing a 100% Nexto system (CPU, remotes and I/O modules), the client had a good reduction in the cost of developing and implementing the project, since the configuration is all done through a single tool: the MasterTool IEC XE.
