PLCnext Technology » Use cases and applications Comprehensive automation and intelligent control for hydrogen production The production of green hydrogen is part of the regional hydrogen ecosystem, HY.City.Bremerhaven. GP Joule is implementing the project as general contractor: from electrolysis, through compression and mobile storage, right through to its own hydrogen service station with fuel cell buses for public transport. The energy comes from an existing wind turbine generator that supplies the electrolyzer. High availability of the control technology is crucial for unmanned operation. At the heart of it all is PLCnext Technology with redundancy at multiple levels: controllers, a battery-supported power supply, and a ring network. This means that the system is still functional even if individual components fail. Secure cloud communication for the hydrogen trailers is provided via TC routers and TC mGuard. PLCnext Technology contains IEC 62443-certified components and enables time-efficient fueling via the coordinated control of level detection, valves, and GPS monitoring. An integrated system ensures that the supplied hydrogen quantities are billed in accordance with legal requirements. PLCnext Control takes over the central control at the electrolyzer site and records all the operating data. These are transmitted wirelessly to a central evaluation unit via the TC mGuard router and an antenna. For the trailer controller, products with explosion protection are used in combination with Axioline F, I/O modules, and signal isolators – for safe and precise signal acquisition in all zones. Robust hardware and intelligent software connect the entire hydrogen value chain – from electrolysis, through mobile storage, right through to fueling. This creates a digitalized overall system that enables sector coupling and paves the way for the All Electric Society. Find out more Video: Intelligent sector coupling for HY.City.

PLCnext Technology » Use cases and applications On the path to a sustainable future Audi relies on PLCnext Technology at its Ingolstadt location in Germany for the body shop of the all-electric Audi Q6 e-tron series. In addition to numerous functions for IIoT applications, the open ecosystem also features integrated cybersecurity in accordance with the international IEC 62443-4-2 standard. Phoenix Contact is supporting the transition to greater sustainability on the way to a sustainable future: The company provides key technologies for electrification, networking, and automation – including PLCnext Technology, for example. The open ecosystem has a large number of interfaces, from the sensor through to the cloud. This enables it to contribute to the continuous flow of information in carbon-neutral production. In addition to the standard programming of PLC systems in accordance with IEC 61131-3, PLCnext Technology also enables the parallel use of high-level languages such as C/C++, C#, and Matlab Simulink. Both languages run in combination in real time on the PLCnext Control. This means that production can benefit from the expertise of both IT and OT specialists. The ecosystem is therefore also contributing to the transition toward the automation of the Audi production facilities. In the body shop in particular, it is important to improve emission values through influencing factors such as quality, availability, and adaptability. Every time there is no load or a car body is rejected from the manufacturing process, not only are costs incurred. The production-related GHG balance is increased. To prevent this from happening, Audi uses numerous measures to monitor consumption. These include shutdowns during idle times and the use of communication-capable energy meters, such as the EEM-MA 370 multifunctional measuring device from Phoenix Contact. To increase optimization even further at this point, transparency about the energy flows and information that indicates a malfunction as soon as it occurs is needed. Even the smallest deviations from quality, which are indicated at an early stage, can make a decisive contribution here. Identifying additional potential for improvement in the process flow results not only in shorter cycle times, but also in the optimization of the energy balance of each individual car.
