EB 80 is a new electro-pneumatic system consisting of one solenoid valve assembly, electric power supplies and input or output digital or analogue signal management. It is the result of extensive research, which mainly involved the collection of data and requirements from customers and their conversion into solutions. This explains the presentation motto chosen for EB 80: “Driven by customers, designed by Metal Work”. The new advanced EB 80 diagnostic functions, known as EB 80 I4.0, provide a powerful analysis tool for traditional maintenance operations, ensuring the safe, reliable and lasting operation of production units. They are available for all electrical connections with fieldbuses, with advanced diagnostics integrated in accordance with Industry 4.0 philosophy. These functions use the original EB 80 diagnostics, integrating them with the ability of the station itself to control IOs. They re-organise and optimise maintenance management by developing predictive maintenance in order to: - predict faults; - intervene early to avoid system downtime; - have all information on equipment operation available in real time; - monitor component end-of-lifetime; - optimise warehouse spare parts management. This makes it possible to turn the data collected into concrete actions.
