Application example: Machinery control
A typical application for the DIOLINE PLC compact controls is their use as powerpack control units in diesel-electric driven rail vehicles.
Here, a modularised preprocessing of all signals with the LÜTZE DIOLINE PLC controls at subsystem level is recommended. The DIOLINE PLC allows a certain amount of "distributed intelligence" with subcontrol functions below the main control level.
The advantages are:
- Relieves the central control system and the bus system
- Reduces response times to critical signals
- Simplifies troubleshooting
- Higher reliability and availability
