The SCHMIDT Technology PRC4000 6-axis ServoPress controller is an "open source" logic and servo control unit that provides sequencing, calculating, process monitoring, SPC, and motion control, as well as a built-in HMI. This controller also contains an OPC server that is used as an interface to allow for real-time exchanging of data with OPC clients. By using an OPC interface, any word or Boolean information can be easily exchanged between the SCHMIDT controller and another PC-based control, HMI, or PLC.
