Compact Terminals SCTSi Ethernet

Flexible, Fully Networked Vacuum Generation

Variety, optimization of production processes, and continuous energy and process control are the challenges of the future. In order to meet these demands, powerful, flexible and energy-efficient vacuum systems are required. The answer is our Compact Terminal SCTSi Ethernet, a compact unit of several vacuum generators for simultaneously and independently handling different parts with a single vacuum system.

The compact terminal SCTSi is sort of the masterpiece of our engineers, a compact and powerful unit for vacuum generation in automated systems. Now Schmalz has enhanced the Ethernet version of the terminal by adding new modules. Via an IO-Link master that can be integrated into the terminal, field devices can be connected via IO-Link and thus communicate directly with the PLC. Digital field devices such as sensors are integrated via digital input modules – without separate I/O modules. The terminal thus becomes the central control unit for vacuum gripping systems.
