| FPS 2 - Free Programmable Control Device | Hardware |
The FPS 2 - (German abbreviation: Frei Programmierbare Steuerung) -
is a so called free programmable control system. It is presumed to be the predecessor of the
FPS 3. The PLC is designed for industrial applications.
As against the FPS 3 the FPS 2 is not free programmable by the user,
but control programs were written in AWL, compiled and finally burned into an EPROM by means of a programming tool.
The production and marketing were pursued by the company KML Elektronik GmbH.
PLCs of this type are still working nowadays in numerous older bag making machines, which have been manufactured by
LEMO Maschinenbau GmbH and which were updated later by the former company RENOVA Plastikmaschinen GmbH.
The company KML Elektronik does no more exist since 2002.
We provide to users of a FPS 2 PLC a comprehensive technical support at favourable prices:
• Inspection and repair of defective devices.
• Short-term supply of spare in the form of overhauled devices.
• Any second hand equipment delivered is rebuilt and tested.
• Recovery of Your control program after a total breakdown.
Hinweis:
All software ever written for the FPS 2 up to now
is archived only in form of machine code. In case of a total hardware failure
Your control program can be recovered, supposed it has been archived before.
We strongly recommend to backup your program data and to put into archives being well prepared
for the worst case. Please visit our Technical support
for a qualified maintanance and reconditioning of your machine(s).
