Control System
Tablet Press Retrofittable Control System Upgrade
Customized State-of-the-Art Controls Systems
CCS customized our standard CS-1000 programming to take full advantage of all functions that are utilized on the Fette 3090 and 2090 including the removable turret function which, with one button, the press automatically moves rolls into position so the turret can be removed. The CS-1000 control system also provides force monitoring, automatic weight control, tablet rejection and tablet sampling. A calibration page was added to the system so all positions on the press can be calibrated in one step.
The CS-1000 control system incorporates all off-the-shelf components lowering the total cost of ownership of the tablet press by making the system easy to maintain while simplifying the sourcing of parts.
The CS-1000 control system has been designed with the latest technology that results in a system that is easy to operate and maintain. Utilizing Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLC and GE Proficy's iFix software interface the system provides complete control of the tablet press. The system complies with 21 CFR Part 11 for data collection and E-Signature.
