3.3 System configuration
System components
A complete heating control system with HCS4300 includes the following components:
● Central Interface Module (CIM) 4310 with PROFINET or PROFIBUS
● Power Output Module (POM) 4320 for busbar or panel mounting
● Higher-level controller (e.g. SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system with
PROFINET/PROFIBUS)
● Field PG (optional, for commissioning and diagnostics)
● HMI Panel (optional, e.g. SIMATIC HMI TP1500)
● Heat emitter array

Centralized/distributed system configuration
You can operate up to 8 POMs on one CIM. Up to 24 POMs can be operated in the
maximum configuration with two expansion modules. Configurations are possible for both
distributed heating applications, such as PET blow molding, in which the heating control
system is located below the heat boxes, and centralized applications, such as
thermoforming, in which emitters are assembled into multi-tier arrays and the modular
heating control system is located in a central control cabinet.
Communication via PROFINET or PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS has been established for years as the fieldbus for machines and plants. Based
on serial bus technology, it is the foundation for the distributed concepts that are common
today.
PROFINET unites the industrial experience of PROFIBUS with the openness and flexible
options of Ethernet. PROFINET enables high-speed and secure data exchange at all levels,
thus making it possible to implement innovative machine and plant concepts.
