Honeywell has been selected by Edda Trykk, the second largest publisher in Norway, to upgrade its Printa press control and shaftless drive systems at the company’s newspaper printing facility in Stokke, Norway. Honeywell will provide new commercial input/output modules, bringing the safety system in line with current standards and increasing redundancy in the drive system. Edda Trykk publishes 78 print titles in various countries.
As part of the scope of work, the existing Bitbus I/Os will be changed to commercial Profibus I/Os, the controllers of the towers and folders will be upgraded to Honeywell Field Controller, the safety system will be modernised to comply with current standards and the shaftless drive system modernised from an optical Sercos II to an Ethernet-based Sercos III network with new drives and motors. Redundancy will be added by separating the tower pairs’ drive networks, thereby reducing the risk of drive failures.
