The operating consoles PCStopline offer the highest
degree on perfection, unparalled in design and function.
PCStopline keeps every-thing under control - from the
PCSmini to the PCSmaxi, with a superior operating
culture and an unlimited setup freedom.
PCS, the first programmable operating console with a
large selection of "ready-to-use" opera-ting functions or
operating tools which are simply selected via instruc-
tions. You can realize even the most unuasal operating
requests at ease and in a minimum of time.
Today this way and tomorrow that way
One standard hardware for virtually thousands of diffe-
rent operating situations. Without ex-tensive wiring and
dozens of I/O points.
PCS for operating. What else?
