ARBURG Launches SELOGICA Direct
'SELOGICA direct' is the name of the new operating programme which can be purchased as an option for all ALLROUNDER models manufactured by ARBURG GmbH & Co KG (Lossburg, Germany). It was presented for the first time at the K 2004 exhibition in Duesseldorf on two ALLROUNDERS as well as on a number of control panels. The most obvious change is the 15in control display with touch screen, which supports direct operator intervention via the touch-sensitive screen and replaces the conventional keyboard.
In terms of process technology, the programme supports the same control functions as the latest version of the SELOGICA control system. SELOGICA direct is not therefore a new generation of control system but rather a practical operating alternative. Quick and efficient navigation is supported by tapping the corresponding element on the screen. ARBURG says that users familiar with the conventional SELOGICA system will feel at home immediately - a design priority - as simplified versions of the screen selection keys from the control panel have been included on the touch screen.
Access to individual parameter pages is direct and intuitive, as users can see the navigation structure in 'path' format at all times in the navigation area above the parameter screen. In SELOGICA direct, navigation keys and function keys are clearly delimited by means of static screen layout, thereby simplifying operation. Screen selection and parameter entry via the touch screen are ergonomic and straightforward processes. For the purpose of navigation, several levels are displayed in the form of hierarchy, ensuring maximum clarity.
