Use of innovative standard software for improved functionality.

DCOS control system demonstrates the diversity of the PC world

Integrated network capability, seamless connection to SCADA and MES systems, optimal data management and storage, and access to common PC applications such as browsers, data backup and remote access present virtually endless possibilities.

DPU (DEPRAG PROCESSING UNIT) control unit

The DPU (DEPRAG PROCESSING UNIT) control unit is based on an industrial PC running Windows CE system software. It can also control complex motion sequences with extremely short cycle times (typically < 6ms). A 6.5-inch color touch screen with VGA resolution offers greater user convenience in operating and displaying operating conditions. Two front-mounted USB ports allow the user to connect additional peripherals. The DPU 100 can access the company network or the World Wide Web via a freely available EtherCat-Port.

• DPU010 and DPU010C
  The DPU010 is the smallest controller in the DPU series. The controller was developed with 16 digital inputs and outputs each in order to meet the requirements of small screwdriving tasks where no visualization is required.
  The DPU010C offers the option of communication with a higher level controller via one of the available communication modules such as EtherCat, Profinet, Profibus, CANopen,…. Using this method of components, such as a screwdriver function module, can be easily programmed and controlled via the selected communication module. The DPU010(C) does not require a DSEC control cabinet.

• DPU050
  The DPU050 has a VGA resolution display, a membrane keyboard with 8 buttons and an emergency stop button. The integrated RS232 port allows direct connection to a scanner. In combination with the corresponding control cabinet DSEC10 there are already 32 digital inputs and outputs each available. This controller option can already guide a position control stand or position control gantry together with a screwdriver controller. The DPU050 can be used together with the DSEC10, DSEC20 or DSEC30 control cabinet.

• DPU100
  The high-performance controller can guide axis systems with up to three axes. Complex manual workstations with operator guidance, sequence and screw position display as well as fully automatic machines with several part stations such as rotary indexing machines with up to 4 user stations can be realized.
  This controller adds the option to connect a database such as a BDE or ERP system. The DPU100 can be used in combination with all standard DSEC control cabinets.

• DPU200
  The DPU200 is the most efficient controller in the DPU series. The controller has a 15″ display with XGA resolution (1024×768 pixels) for better image display.
  It can control complex fully automatic machines, such as axis systems with more than three axes. It offers an unproblematic connection to databases such as BDE or ERP systems. Various interfaces and protocols are available, e.g. OPC, OPC-UA or TCP/IP. The DPU200 can also be used in conjunction with all DSEC control cabinets.

If you cannot find a suitable controller for your needs in our standard range, we can also modify our controllers to meet your requirements.

DSEC (DEPRAG SAFETY EXTENSION CONTROLLER) control cabinet

In addition to the DPU, a control cabinet such as DSEC10, DSEC20, DSEC30 or DSEC40 is used, depending on the control task. Each contains 32 digital inputs and outputs that are connected to the DPU via the modern Ethercat fieldbus.
A 24V DC voltage supply is already integrated in the DSEC to supply the control components (DPU, sensors and actuators, etc.). To meet the requirements of the safety function, both the DSEC10 and DSEC20 include two built-in safety relays.

Both DSEC30 and DSEC40 control cabinets are equipped with free programmable compact safety controllers that enable very complex safety functions.

• DSEC10
  The DSEC20 can be used anywhere it is needed to perform small control tasks, including visualization. This includes manual workstations with or without position control, automatic stations or semi-automatic machines with pneumatic actuators.

• DSEC20
  More complex manual workstations, bolting or assembly cells require the use of the DSEC20. Unlike the DSEC10, this control cabinet includes an additionally integrated profibus master module for the non-problematic connection of additional fieldbus subscribers, a second safety relay for safety door monitoring and a separate main swith to allow the complete station to be easily disconnected from the network. Single-phase devices can be supplied with voltage through the central input power supply and controlled through the DSEC20. Due to the larger 24V power supply with 10A output power and the bus module, the DSEC20 can control a larger number of outputs compared to the DSEC10.
• DSEC30
  The DSEC30 is the right solution for screwdriving and assembly automation systems with higher performance and safety requirements. The design with three-phase AC input enables the connection of AC drives used, for example, in rotary indexing tables and belt drives. The integrated compact safety controller achieves the highest PL e safety level if required. The technical software assignment of the safety components offers a high degree of flexibility by interconnecting the individual safety functions on a higher level…
• DSEC40
  The DSEC40 can additionally control up to three NC axes. As standard stepper motors and the corresponding power units can be used to perform precise positioning tasks. On request, applications with servo or linear motors are also an option. Automation machines for screwdriving or assembly with axis systems make up the application areas of the DSEC40.

Standard software

DCOS is particularly attractive due to its innovative software packages!
The use of tried and tested standard components reconfirms their functionality. This facilitates greater processing reliability for the operator.

The software is available in five different packages:
DFUN, DVIP, DPRO, DAST, DSPEC

Software packages with various performance scopes have been developed for DCOS. Despite standardization, the software can also be quickly and easily adapted to meet specific customer requirements.
