KEBA CP505 The flexible control generation

KEBA CP505 The flexible control generation

In addition to this it is possible to integrate not only KEBA‘s own technology modules but also those developed by the customers themselves in the form of extension boards. The direct side-mounted KeConnect C5 I/O modules offer even greater functionality for a multitude of applications. Together, all our new control generation components form an unbeatable team to find the optimum solution for your individual requirements.

More flexibility – easy individualization and expandability KeControl C5 stands out through its comprehensive modular design. Thanks to the customizable interface board, the extension modules which can be side-mounted on the left and the I/O modules which can be plugged in on the right, the customer has maximum freedom when configuring the individual automation system. More scalability – the perfect control solution for any application From conventional control tasks to high-end applications with intensive computing capacity – KeControl C5 offers the right computing power through a variety of performance classes for optimally configured automation solutions. More communication capability – impressive freedom of design through top connectivity Thanks to the open hardware and software architecture based on standard protocols (e.g. OPC UA, EtherCAT, etc.), not only KEBA‘s but also the customer‘s own components can be integrated easily in the control system. This ensures extensive investment protection and the realization of Industry 4.0 solutions

KeControl C5 control systems KeControl C5 complements our control family with high-performance compact control systems which are compelling above all through their space-saving design. Because reducing control cabinet space is not just a topic at KEBA, it is a guiding principle. The control system is available in two different sizes. The narrow version stands out through an absolute minimum of space required, the wider version through maximum performance in a compact form.

Real-time communication via KEBA‘s own EtherCAT stack hardware KeControl C5 relies entirely on the unique EtherCAT master implemented by KEBA which is computed in hardware and not software. This relieves the CPU and reduces jitter time on the bus. Thanks to the new Fast Control Technology integrated in the C5. system dead time in closed control circuits is reduced by up to 66% compared to conventional control. Safe data management The firmware and application data for the CP 505 is stored on an SD memory card which is conveniently accessible from the front of the control system. A CFast card which can be inserted on the top of the control system housing is used on the CP 5x0 versions. In both cases the data is stored reliably and can be accessed at any time. High-end visualization on board With KeControl C5 it is also possible to run high-end visualization (e.g. KEBA‘s own KeView-Style) on the control system parallel to the application without limiting the effect of real-time applications. Inexpensive passive panels without integrated CPU can thus be operated easily in combination with the C5 control line.

KeConnect C5 I/O modules The KeConnect C5 I/O modules stand out through an optimum functionality to volume ratio. This reduces the space required in the control cabinet considerably and optimizes costs. Our I/O modules are available in two different sizes to perfectly cater for customer requirements. The absolute minimum of space required for the narrow modules is highly impressive. The somewhat wider modules stand out through their extended scope of functions and added flexibility as a result. • Up to 40 connection pins per module • Possible to use special components which do not have enough space on a narrow module due to their larger design • Better heat dissipation

Maximum freedom of design Our I/O modules can be either directly mounted on the KeControl C5 control system or also remotely run using a bus coupler. Using EtherCAT switch modules also enables you to set up star topologies. This means that customers of KEBA have maximum flexibility and freedom of design when creating their individual control system. Use in third-party systems via EtherCAT Not only KEBA control systems can be easily expanded with the KeConnect C5 modules. They can even be connected very easily to third-party control systems via an EtherCAT master interface and using a bus coupler with the ESI files provided. High-performance bus connection enables top control quality The KeConnect I/O system relies on EtherCAT as module bus. Even with remote I/O packages via bus coupler, no additional system dead times occur. The module bus interface connection is designed down to a cycle time of 62.5 µs. Together with the suitability of the KeConnect C5 module for Fast Control Technology, this fulfils all requirements for top control performance of your application.
