Schlemmer Prozess Systeme GmbH (Fa. SPS) is working in the glass industry for many years and has therefore gained extensive experience it in wide areas of automation engineering. The primary aims at the planning and construction of automation solutions are reducing of production costs per piece on the one hand and on the other hand building up of an uniform, general automation concept with standardized components, which one minimizing the costs for spare parts, maintenance and training substantially. These demands can be fulfilled by Siemens components very well. For large-scale installations the Fa. SPS use the process control system Simatic PCS7 with particularly, in our house, developed faceplate technologie for the glass industry, which are individually adapted to the individual customer requirements by us, as a basis for uniform automation solution for the complete factory automation.
For smaller plants we use the WinCC visualization package or the Protool package for small plants to carry out another cost reduction. In the area of the batch mixture we use controllers of the series SIWAREX U or M in connection with S7 400 controller and decentralized ET200 periphery with Profibus or Ethernet interface. In the melting area, the ET200 modules are also used together with the S7 400 and S7 300 controllers. For a exact controlling of the combustion air we take frequency converters of the series Micromaster with Profibus interface. The plunger control system is realized with the S7 317 T (CPU with integrated technology). On the machines and handing over units Simodrive or Sinumerik drive components are used. As “local announcement” and “control unit” directly on the machinery the different OP´s (operation panel) and TP´s (touch panel) are worked in the best way. By using the decentralized construction with ET200 modules in connection with OSM, OLM and LWL the reduction of the wiring effort is substantially, which leads to an enormous reduction of costs by installation, maintenance and operation of the plant. A high availability of the plant is guaranteed by means of remote diagnosis and remote project engineering. Also the maintenance effort and the fault diagnosis time will be reduced to a minimum.

Schlemmer Prozess Systeme GmbH (Fa. SPS) will be gladly to support you by the development of an automation concept according to your requests. A support during the whole life cycle of the plant, from the planning upto the start-up till the daily production is a matter of course for us.
