Control technology
The Schmalz Compact terminal SCTSi, SCTSi for short, is a compact unit consisting of individual discs that
links several vacuum generators, ejectors, IO-Link class B masters and digital input modules (DI modules).
Thanks to its modular design, up to 16 individual ejectors can be controlled and configured indepen-
dently. It can be used to handle different parts simultaneously and independently using just one vacuum
system.
Up to 8 corresponding IO-Link class B or class A devices can be connected via the IO-Link masters (2 maxi-
mum).
Digital input signals (up to 48) from peripheral devices are recorded via the DI modules (maximum 6).
The Compact terminal SCTSi has an industrial Ethernet interface. The compressed air supply can be con-
nected centrally for all ejectors. As an alternative, it can also be connected separately for each ejector.
Each ejector has an autonomous energy and process control for monitoring the vacuum circuit.
All settings, parameters and measurement and analysis data are made available centrally via the interface.
Additionally, much of the information and status reports for the Compact terminal SCTSi can be accessed
using wireless communication with NFC (Near Field Communication).
3.1.1 Variants and Product Keys
The item designation of the Compact terminal SCTSi is composed of a product key, which indicates the
number of ejectors installed and their precise properties. Additional modules such as the IO-Link master
and DI module can also be provided.
The SCTSi product key (system configuration), e.g. SCTSi-EIP-16-AA-10A46-2A4H-1BEC-3BP4-24, is com-
posed as follows:
