Compact and compliant labelling system through single databus

Newman's latest S250 space saving pharmaceutical labelling system is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant and provides for reliable, secure labelling operations to be carried out on a very compact machine. Much of the size advantage has been achieved by the innovative use of a single high-capacity cable databus in place of increasingly complex wiring looms.

With more and more sensors and control devices being incorporated in modem labelling systems, the wiring loom containing direct cable connections to the PLC controller has become increasingly bulky and unwieldy. Databuses, originally developed for automotive and process automation applications, provide a tried and tested solution. The databus acts like a ring main, enabling sensors and control devices to be connected at any point on the circuit, communicating at high speed with microprocessor-based control systems through a standard software protocol.

All Newman pharmaceutical labelling systems are offered complete with a comprehensive validation documentation package. This package is normally completed, allowing the machine to be left in a Production Qualification ready state, within three days of arrival on site.
