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 and distributed heating application
A maximum of 8 POM4320 or 6 POM4320 Highend can be operated at a CIM. In the
maximum configuration with 2 expansion modules, up 24 POM4320 or
18 POM4320 Highend can be operated.
System configurations can be realized for distributed, decentralized heating applications,
such as PET blow molding, where the heating controller is located below the heating boxes,
as well as central heating applications, for example, in thermoforming, where the heating
elements are implemented in numerous arrays and the modular heating control system is
located in a central control cabinet.
