Cube67+ puts the IO level close to the sensors and actuators
MEETING ALL REQUIREMENTS Replacing the whole system was not as costly as it would appear. Due to the core of every machine being the same, repetitive simple tasks are very easy to complete. Due to the back-up and recovery options on the webserver, 10-20% of the software work is only completed once and, due to the number of options available with Cube67+, there is no redesign needed when switching to different customer specified

easily integrated at a later stage, so should the end customer’s requirements change, then the system can be added to with modular add-ons. Cube67+ is characterised by its single cable technology, carrying internal communications as well as input and output power, reducing the amount of cabling and containment required. With Cube67+’s integrated circuit protection and fault diagnostics contributing to the SYNERGi systems Industry4.0 performance,
“The switch to Cube67+ I/O system was relatively simple, and with most of the IO now being in the field, it meant the control panel size could be reduced, the wiring become more efficient, and the commissioning would be streamline”
pneumatics manifold. There is even an optional upgrade for any system to make industry 4.0 easy to implement by the Cube 67+ diagnostic gateway upgrade. “I would urge anyone to have an open mind when it comes to decentralised I/O. Changing the system is far easier than you might think,” commented Clark.
As the majority of the Mills CNC customer
base require many bespoke additional features and options, Cube67+ is flexible enough to meet all requirements. Easily expandable as required, it is an excellent addition to the Mills CNC SYNERGi system as it allows for true flexibility across the entire system. For example, expanders for additional IO, beacon stack lights or IO-Link devices can be included to ensure that cross system communication is not lost. A whole host of additional expanders can be
Murrelektronik and Mills CNC can ensure maximum light’s out production with excellent up-time and minimum downtime. Another advantage for Mills CNC was that
with new pluggable connectivity, either M12 or M8 connections, the chances of wiring errors are reduced considerably. And, should there ever be a problem with a cable, the Cube67+ system allows quick change out of the now shorter IO cables as the expander can be positioned close to the individual IO devices.
