7thSense Updates Medialon Manager Show Control Software
7thSense updated the Medialon Manager show control software which includes support for interfacing with Beckhoff PLCs using the Automation Device Specification (ADS) protocol. The company says Beckhoff programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial automation technologies are used widely in theme park attractions, nighttime spectaculars, parade floats and stage shows. The new integration allows data to flow between the PLCs and Medialon Manager show control software in a secure way, enabling complex motion control systems, fountain pumps, pyrotechnic effects and stage automation systems to be “fully safety compliant” while also allowing synchronization between these elements and the audiovisual and lighting equipment managed by the show control system.
Status information from the PLCs can also be incorporated into the Medialon show control system for automation, user interface displays or operator notifications.
