Platform topic

Integration platform & connectivity

One software. Everything talks to everything.

What is this about?

From the sensor to the ERP – with one platform.

SonicTC is the control hub of your test system. Measurement and process devices from various vendors get integrated rather than operated in isolation – with more flexibility, higher scalability and optimal data use.

Under the hood, a modular architecture loosely couples even the database. The result: open test systems that scale with your requirements.

Benefits

What you get.

SonicTC links sensors, controllers and the IT backbone into one system. 25+ years of automation experience guarantee intelligent communication – from the shopfloor up to MES and ERP.

Hardware-agnostic

Beckhoff TwinCAT, OPC UA, PROFINET, CAN/LIN, NI-DAQmx, Polytec, Vallen – no vendor lock-in.

Server-client architecture

Central data, distributed testing. Results, printers and alarms reachable worldwide.

Up to MES and ERP

Lot tracking, order release and test data flow automatically into your shopfloor IT.

Sensor calibration built-in

Single- and multi-point calibration with tolerance monitoring and auto-generated certificate.

In the system

Here is what it looks like.

Calibrate sensors – with approval workflow and certificate.

From single-point to multi-point calibration: SonicTC supports common calibrators, monitors tolerances in real time and calculates sensor sensitivity automatically.

Chart display, approval workflow and calibration certificate make every step traceable – reproducible results instead of handwritten notes.

In detail

What SonicTC already connects to.

Process devices

Beckhoff TwinCAT ADS, OPC UA, PROFINET, CAN and CAN FD – PLCs and controllers connect directly.

LIN bus

Lipowsky Industrie Elektronik, National Instruments NI-XNET and Vector XL Driver for LIN communication in series production.

Custom communication

RS232, SCPI and TCP/IP for devices that speak no standard protocol.

Measurement devices

NI-DAQmx, Data Translation, Polytec laser Doppler vibrometers and Vallen acoustic emission – analogue, digital and counter inputs.

Peripherals

Barcode scanners, industrial scales and label or thermal transfer printers from Cab and Zebra.

Sensors with units

Measurement data is scaled to the sensitivity of the sensor and carries the matching physical unit.
