Stage machinery control system composed of: control console with programmable touch screen panel and central PLC control unit for remote units. The console features two proportional control joysticks and a human start button, as well as an EMERGENCY STOP button; remote units containing local control PLC and vector frequency inverter. Communication between the master unit and slave units is managed via a data network. The operating logic is controlled by software specifically developed for stage machinery control.
Combined management of remote units is provided through synchronization groups, matching cues, and cue groups (shows).
Safety loops are implemented in accordance with EN 62061 SIL3 level.
