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

THE PROFESSIONAL NETWORK CARD WITH SAFETY MODULE FOR THE GREATEST POSSIBLE SECURITY

The TST RCCA communication module from Feig in its basic version (-A) enables the integration of door controls into automation processes – the controls can be connected to higher-level controls thanks to the PROFINET interface and communicate directly with individual machines, for example.

All other variants also have a safety module, which in the highest expansion level (variant -D) has 6 safe inputs and 1 safe output.
Up to 6 intelligent sensors and 1 intelligent actuator can be connected here, whose values are available not only to the higher-level control system thanks to the Profinet Safe connection, but also to all other components belonging to the network.

The safety module ensures the greatest possible safety, e.g. wherever a door acts as a separating protective device. This means that machines automatically open the door when the machine has finished the work process. After inserting a new workpiece, the door only closes when the worker has left the machine’s work area – monitored by safe sensors.

Up to 4 IO-Link inputs are also available for easy integration of smart devices into flexible installation concepts. These IO-Link participants can also be parameterized from a central location.

You don´t need an additional safety module? Then please have a look at our basis variant TST RCCA-A.

 

TST RCCA-B/-C/-D

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. 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.
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.
