TST-RCCA-A
THE CONNECTED FUTURE
The spread of Industry 4.0 is in full swing with focus on digital transparency and harmonization of all processes to increase efficiency. With our RCCA communication modules, your processes in the networked world can be displayed, holistically.

 

WHY NETWORK YOUR PRODUCTION OR PROCESSES?

Increased productivity, more comfort, less effort: it’s worth networking doors with manufacturing processes or intralogistics procedures.

The networked factory and the networked building are already a reality today. We help you with the last mile to capture the entire process chain and make your applications “future ready”.

 

WHERE CAN WE HELP YOU?

Even now there are various advantages of networking that have become established:

 

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
  • The systems are maintained in time before failure, but run for as long as possible until then
  • Intelligently planned replacement of parts
  • Reduction of technical service on site through precise planning
  • Reducing the risk of unexpected failures
  • Securing sales, because unplanned downtimes cost money
  • Improving workforce utilization

 

AUTOMATION USING ROBOTICS
  • Intelligent production processes where robotics handle production at high speed
  • Doors as separating protective devices support robotics and improve efficiency
  • Reducing human interaction
  • Costs and processes are thus optimized

 

INTELLIGENT FACILITY MANAGEMENT
  • Buildings are managed through data and sensors
  • A holistic view improves the efficiency of processes
  • Cost reduction through intelligent energy management

DOOR CONTROLS BECOME NETWORK-CAPABLE
WITH THE COMMUNICATION MODULE TST RCCA-A

With the modern communication module TST RCCA-A from FEIG ELECTRONIC, door controls become an integral part of intelligent and automated systems.

Thanks to the PROFINET interface of the TST RCCA-A module, the FEIG controls can be integrated almost anywhere. Doors can be controlled by a higher-level controller via bidirectional communication. The door control also bundles the data from the connected sensors and transmits status, diagnostic or error messages to the central control.

The integrated IRT switch enables additional network participants to be connected directly to the door control and thus easy cabling of additional Profinet participants.
IRT stands for “Isochronous Real Time” and enables the use of the TST RCCA-A in networks with real-time communication.

Looking for more comfort and security features? Look at our communication module in the variants -B -C and -D

TST RCCA-A

The perfect communication partner for the automation industry: the TST RCCA-A. Discrete wiring is being replaced by digital integration. This enables highly flexible integration into the on-site manufacturing processes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

There is no RCCA module for integration in the control program

Load the GSDML file (available as a free download on this support website) into your development environment.

The RCCA is integrated in the project, but the PLC reports it as "not accessible"
  1. Make sure that the correct hardware version (RCCA-A/B/C/D) has been configured. The hardware version is reported in the TIA portal via “online” → “accessible devices”.
  2. Check the Profinet connection between the RCCA and the higher-level controller. (see “Network topologies” on the support website)
  3. Ensure that the RCCA module is supplied with power.
  4. Check the device name of the target device. On delivery, this is “tst-rcca”
The RCCA is integrated in the project, but the "TST Door_1" module is not accessible
  1. Check the power supply to the RCCA.
  2. Check parameter P.804, which must be parameterized to “1”.
  3. Check the correct installation of the eight-pole connection cable on the underside of the RCCA when it is de-energized.
Communication between the door control unit, RCCA and PLC is established. But no movement commands are executed
  1. Make sure that the door control unit does not report an error and can be operated in automatic mode.
  2. Make sure that both the bit for direction or stop and the corresponding mask are set for a move command. (see “Module list of transmitted data” →  “Send” → Byte 10 on the support website) To simplify communication, we recommend using the “Feig RCCA [incl. HMI] V1.1” library, download from this support website.
