Even though the technology used for the communications protocol within these drivers (Optic Fiber SERCOS Technology) is still valid and useful, there are no components in the market that may be controlled with this communication protocol anymore.
Dara Pharma seeking to fulfill our compromise with our customers, trying to bring all of them the necessary upgrades, have been working during some time with this scenario, where we can present a technology advancement to last generation (2023), compatible in the greatest way with the current one installed in our equipment. This will reduce significantly both timewise and economically, the impact to migrate to these new components.
Therefore, we present to you the generation component upgrade needed (Hardware and Software) for any DARA Pharma machine with this technology.
PLC upgrade to 2023 technology (ControlLogix L8XE or similar) (to be selected according to machine specifications)
Higher speed of data processing
Increase in storage memory (possibility of hosting many more recipes)
Communication isolation from the internal network within the machine and towards the customer network, with a manageable switch
Possibility of remote connection using an own VPN
Driver upgrade to 2023 technology (Series Kinetix 5300)
Motorization may be kept “as-is” for current machine installation (economical savings)
New PC + HMI:
New DARA 2023 interface
