Pempek's ObelixPLUS Control Software Environment

In the past machine control systems have been based on Logic Controllers that run very large dedicated code bases that embody all of the machine operational functions and safety systems.

These systems were typically created for a specific machine application and rely on external specialised programmers.

Any modification to function, configuration or even operator messages or error messages required the intervention of external programmers and the machines flameproof enclosure needed to be opened to load new code to the controller.

Pempek’s revolutionary ObelixPLUS Machine Control Solution now offers users the ability to configure and modify their own control system, edit operational parameters and operator messages and error messages without having to open the flameproof enclosure.

ObelixPLUS Machine Control Solution includes superior diagnostics visible on the machine, a remote IS tablet, at the surface or your smart phone.

Pempek’s revolutionary NEW ObelixPLUS Machine Control Solution puts you in CONTROL.
