Flexible Material Conveying System Control
Start small and grow, or bring all conveying needs into a common
system. The FLX flexible control system utilizes a combination of
centralized I/O and expansion modules, interconnected via industrial Ethernet to provide control of up to 128 receivers, 40 pumps
(plus 2 back-up pumps) and 256 source valves. A full color touch
screen with descriptive picture icons assures that even with little
or no training, any user will be comfortable monitoring or making
changes to up to 40 independently operating vacuum systems.

MODULAR I/O FOR EXPANDABLE RESIN CONVEYING
Conveying components are commonly spread
across plants; on processing machines, on
mezzanines, in pump rooms, on multi-component blenders and source valves, grouped
at material supply hoppers. In these common
arrangements, the FLX conveying control is
right at home, providing input/output (I/O)
capability in modular panels, interconnected
via Ethernet. Connections to individual conveying components are minimized since I/O
modules can be placed where they are needed and connected back to the main FLX control via Ethernet.

The FLX system utilizes programmable logic
controllers (PLC’s) in modular panels, along
with touch screen panel(s), equipped with
colorful icons to assure that all authorized
personnel can operate the system. Shared
conveying components, like back-up pumps
and material purge valves operate seamlessly
with multiple vacuum systems, all controlled
by the FLX.
n
Economical and expandable
Buy only the control capacity you need today, and then expand with
additional modules as your business grows. The FLX is the right choice
for small systems all the way up to 128 receivers and even operation of
Conair’s exclusive Automated Resin Manager (ARM) and the Material
Vision Proofing (MVP).
n
Minimize wiring with modular components
Groups of receivers, pumps and valves can be easily added with a
simple Ethernet connection to modular expansion panels.
n
Color touch screen
The 8-inch full color touch screen control provides easy navigation via
internationally understood icons. Add up to five additional touch screens,
wherever you need them.
Remote access via web pages
Ethernet connection allows you to connect and view the system from
any PC, anytime, anywhere.
