Pascal 2 now features up to 16 motor groups, handling 10 gap sensors at a time. With 8 buffer sensors, miho Pascal 2 is now able to handle 8 buffer areas. If a line stop occurs and the buffer area is full, the buffer will be switched off, reducing scuffing and pressure in the buffer area. The buffers are not running on fixed speed, but in relative speed to the lead machine, further reducing pressure on the bottles. Furthermore, one Pascal 2 can handle a larger, more complex control section than the miho Pascal 1. For example, between the exit of the bottle washer and infeed of the filler, only one miho Pascal 2 system is needed, even with a miho EBI David 2 installed in between. This also saves costs on the customers’ side. The new Pascal 2 can now handle 32 bottle types, and even 127 bottle types, when connected to a miho PC system. The usability and customer interface were another focus of the evolution of miho Pascal 2. It now features a 10” graphic display with multi touch function. The symbols, known from other miho FPGA devices, simplify and accelerate the operation of the new miho Pascal 2, allowing an easy teach-in procedure for new bottle types. Help and parameter guides make the operation and setup of the miho Pascal 2 more convenient and simpler than ever. Instead of the discrete wiring of the old Pascal 1, the miho Pascal 2 features an EtherCat wiring, making signal transmission easy and compact. This further allows the miho Pascal 2 to reduce the speed of the lead machine in the control path, instead of shutting it off, when there is a lack of bottles. The new Pascal 2 features a remote access with compatible miho VIDIOS devices. Encoder frequencies up to 50 kHz make smoother conveyance control possible. The electronic cabinet itself is equipped with a color signal beacon, permitting the installation of further light beacons, directly at the point of failure; like the pressureless combiner or an infeed worm. Therefore, operators can act quicker, resulting in enhanced line performance. If an encoder breaks, the operator can simply switch on the integrated encoder generator, saving the day’s production plan. All speeds are displayed as bottles per hour, making operating the miho Pascal 2 even more convenient.
