METSO D100644 Controller

I. Overview

II. Technical Parameters

Power Requirements: It supports a wide range of AC voltage input, with a power supply voltage of 100 – 240V AC. This broad voltage adaptability allows it to be compatible with industrial power supply standards in different regions around the world. Whether in developed regions with relatively stable voltage or developing regions with relatively complex power supply conditions, it can operate stably, ensuring reliable power supply for the equipment and reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by voltage issues.

Communication Interfaces: Equipped with a standard Ethernet interface and a coaxial interface suitable for various industrial fieldbuses. The Ethernet interface follows common network communication protocols, with flexible transmission rates, which can meet high-speed data transmission under different data flow requirements. The coaxial interface is optimally designed for various mainstream industrial fieldbus systems, ensuring stable connection and efficient communication with field devices. It can well adapt to fieldbus protocols such as Modbus and Profibus.

Temperature Adaptability: It has excellent environmental temperature tolerance, with an operating temperature range of -20℃ to 70℃. Whether in cold outdoor industrial facilities or high-temperature industrial production workshops, such as high-temperature working environments like steel smelting and chemical manufacturing, it can maintain normal working conditions, ensuring stable and reliable data conversion and communication functions of the equipment under different temperature conditions.

III. Functional Features

Protocol Conversion and Communication Integration: It has a powerful protocol conversion function, which can realize real-time conversion between Ethernet protocols and various industrial fieldbus protocols. In industrial automated production lines, it enables barrier-free data interaction between Ethernet-based upper computers (such as monitoring computers and servers) and underlying devices using fieldbus communication (such as sensors, actuators, PLCs, etc.). For example, it can accurately convert the Ethernet-format control commands sent by the upper computer into fieldbus format and transmit them to the actuators, and at the same time convert the fieldbus data collected by the sensors into Ethernet format and feed them back to the upper computer, thereby realizing precise control and efficient management of the entire production process.

Easy Installation and Debugging: The installation process is simple and quick. The bottom of the control unit is equipped with detachable screw terminals, which facilitate operators to connect cables without complex tools or professional skills. At the same time, the device has a built-in grounding connection point for connecting the cable shielding layer, effectively improving anti-interference ability. In terms of debugging, it provides a detailed step-by-step operation guide to help users quickly complete the initial setup of the device. It also presets standard measurement modes, and users can easily configure analog/digital input and output interfaces according to actual needs, which greatly shortens the installation and debugging cycle of the device and reduces the difficulty and cost of system integration.

IV. Application Scenarios

Automated Production Lines in Manufacturing: In large-scale automated production lines such as automobile manufacturing and electronic equipment manufacturing, there are a large number of different types of equipment. Some use Ethernet communication for high-speed data transmission and centralized control, while others rely on fieldbuses to achieve close collaboration and real-time response between devices. METSO D100644 can connect these devices with different communication protocols into an organic whole, realizing seamless connection and precise control of various links in the production line from raw material processing, component assembly to finished product inspection and packaging. For example, in an automobile assembly workshop, it can enable the Ethernet-based upper computer responsible for overall production scheduling to work in coordination with various automated assembly equipment (such as robotic arms and tightening machines) using fieldbus communication, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of each assembly step, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

Energy and Power Industry: In energy and power facilities such as power plants and substations, monitoring systems are usually based on Ethernet architecture for data aggregation and remote control, while various on-site devices such as sensors (such as temperature sensors and pressure sensors), smart meters, and protection devices mostly use fieldbus communication. D100644 can realize communication conversion between the monitoring system and on-site devices, real-time collect operating parameters of power equipment, such as the temperature, voltage, and current of generators, and the oil temperature and oil level of transformers, and accurately transmit these data to the monitoring center, so that operation and maintenance personnel can timely grasp the operating status of the equipment, conduct fault early warning and equipment maintenance, ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system, and reduce the probability of power outages.
