Easy to start with central control
If you want to produce hydrogen, you have to decide: centralized or decentralized automation? Find out here which concept is best suited to your hydrogen system. In this article, we show why the central approach with a control cabinet is ideal – both for getting started with hydrogen technology and for the optimizations of your existing system.
Protection and structure in the control cabinet
A control cabinet brings all the important components together: The control system, valve terminals, and compressed air preparation are located in a "control center". This creates order, reliably protects the technology – for example the pneumatic, electrical, and electronic components in the electrolyzer – and simplifies installation.
Your benefits:
☑ Pre-assembled inputs and outputs speed up installation
☑ The multi-pin connection makes hose routing superfluous
☑ Clear structure ensures quick and safe installation
☑ Pre-assembled delivery saves time on the construction site
Festo AX ensures smooth operation
Festo AX is an AI-supported software for real-time analysis and optimizations of machine processes. The AI continuously analyzes real-time data, detects irregularities at an early stage, and thus avoids failures. In combination with the Smartenance digital servicing and maintenance software, you can plan servicing exactly when it is needed – never too early and never too late.
Central and yet flexible?
Yes – the centrally controlled system is both flexible and cost-efficient. Modules can be individually exchanged or supplemented. The system remains stable, even when changes are made. This allows you to grow with your application – efficiently and securely.
