Just get started with centralised control
If you want to produce hydrogen, you have to decide: centralised or decentralised automation? Find out here which concept is best suited to your hydrogen system. In this article, we show why the centralised approach with a control cabinet is ideal, both for getting started with hydrogen technology and for optimisingyour existing system.
Protection and structure in the control cabinet
A control cabinet brings all the important components together: the control unit, valve terminals and compressed air preparation are located in a "control centre". This creates order and reliably protects the technology – for example the pneumatic, electric and electronic components in the electrolyser – and simplifies installation.
The benefits for you:
☑ Pre-assembled inputs and outputs speed up the assembly process
☑ The multi-pin connection makes routing the tubing unnecessary
☑ Clear structure ensures fast, safe installation
☑ Pre-assembled delivery saves time on site
Festo AX ensures smooth operation
Festo AX is AI-supported software for real-time analysis and optimisation of machine processes. The AI continuously analyses real-time data and detects irregularities at an early stage, preventing failures. In combination with the digital maintenance and servicing software Smartenance, you can plan maintenance exactly when it is needed – never too early and never too late.
Central yet flexible?
Yes – the centrally controlled system is both flexible and cost-efficient. Modules can be replaced or added individually. The system remains stable, even when changes are made. This allows it to expand with the application, both safely and efficiently.
