Reliable, standards-compliant control and power units designed and manufactured in-house for maximum safety and performance. Optimized motor control and high-quality components ensure energy efficiency, high availability, and easy, cost-effective maintenance.
The programming of the PLC can be done completely via the screen workstation of the system or by remote maintenance. GEDIS uses robust, intelligent hardware of its own development and production, with separate power supply 24VDC, control processor (Power PC), modules for digital/analogue inputs and outputs, RS232/422/485 interfaces, as well as the worldwide proven, robust and real-time capable CAN bus system.
Due to the modular design, the PLC can be adapted and extended to all requirements of the existing system technology at any time. In case of need, a fast exchange of components is possible (MTTR = less than 15min). The PLC is fully functional in its operation, even without a process control computer system, and therefore always in a safe operating state. The PLC monitors itself continuously. Even widely spaced systems can be controlled easily with this from a workstation.
This workstation is equipped with a high performance IPC system (MX1). This control computer, which is specially adapted to the general conditions prevailing in the industry, is designed with a hardware configuration ideal for your area of application. The hardware enables safe and stable 24/7 operation, which also allows you to work in shifts in a rough industrial environment. Our innovative hardware also allows equipping a workstation with a specially developed industrial PC “Tank 870”. Accordingly, 6 screens can be operated with a single control computer. In this way interfaces to other systems can be simply and clearly visualised.
The company is proud to present the third-generation PLC. Like the previous PLC units, this model is also an in-house development. The past 30 years have shown us how important it is to develop innovative technology in-house.
The company is proud to present its third-generation PLC. Like the previous PLC units, this model is also an in-house development. The past 30 years have shown us how important it is to develop innovative technology in-house. Especially during times of uncertain material supply chains from Asia—as we experienced during the pandemic—we have learned that in-house development, stockpiling, and production can contribute to an unbeatable overall strategy. At a time when major PLC manufacturers were experiencing delivery difficulties, the company was able to produce, install, and deliver replacement parts without a single day of downtime due to potential material shortages, thereby satisfying customers as usual. This fact, combined with our complete confidence in our products, drove us to redesign the product, retain tried-and-true features, and use our innovative strength to create new possibilities in process automation. Driven by this vision, we have developed our GC3 PLC over the past few years.
Inspired by existing systems and customer requests, we redesigned the layout to enable side-by-side installation, thereby freeing up space in the control cabinet and establishing a standard for machine builders—allowing interfaces with manufacturers’ existing power modules to be implemented more easily and at a lower cost to the customer. Another important point is maintaining the upward and downward compatibility of our CAN bus system. Existing systems can be expanded with the new generation of PLCs, and existing components can be reused. The new PLC features optimized error monitoring and is fully modular. This makes it possible to significantly optimize service quality, allowing for a rapid response in the event of a malfunction in collaboration with on-site personnel and reducing downtime to a minimum. The GC3 PLC is capable of directly switching 250 VAC/2 A, thereby eliminating the need for additional relay units when retrofitting existing systems. Furthermore, the product features the following interfaces: Modbus, EtherCAT, 0/4–20 mA, 0–10 V, PT-100, RS-485, and RS-232, enabling the real-time acquisition and processing of all necessary sensor data from the mixing process. We are also presenting our analog-to-digital converter module for direct connection to weighing systems in 2025. This innovative module will enable precise dosing and reduce costs by eliminating the need for expensive measurement technology.

Our control and power supply units are designed and manufactured in-house. We use standardized, high-quality components and comply with all relevant standards and guidelines, including the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, VDE regulations, and CE requirements.
Each control cabinet features integrated safety functions as well as overcurrent and undervoltage protection and is optimally designed for the specific application. To ensure maximum energy efficiency and system availability, appropriate motor starting methods—such as direct start, star-delta start, soft start, or frequency converters—are used depending on the application.
Quality-tested components, a well-thought-out design, and meticulous manufacturing ensure maximum reliability, low maintenance costs, and fast service when needed.
