This example is a schematic diagram of a plant which is controlled by a host
computer.
VersaPoint station 1 modules control the removal of material from area 1.
The motor starter (2) is directly connected to the remote bus. This controls a
conveyor belt motor.
VersaPoint station 3 controls the press. As this machine must be
particularly well protected, an emergency stop switch has been integrated.
VersaPoint station 5 controls the punching device. Station 6 is connected to
station 5, and its modules monitor the status of the press. An emergency
stop switch has also been provided here.
Two motor starters are connected at points (7) and (8). They control
conveyor belt motors.
VersaPoint station 9 controls the removal of material from area 2.
A robot control system (11) is connected to the communications bus using
VersaPoint station 10. An emergency stop switch has also been connected
here.
VersaPoint station 12 controls the storage of material in area 3.
Motor starter 13 is directly connected to the remote bus and controls the
