ConveyLinx

ConveyLinx provides integrated control for Motorised Driver Roller (MDR) conveyors and brushless motor control applications using PROFINET and Ethernet TCP/IP communication technology. The modules can operate as linear transfer devices without additional control needed, or can be controlled by a PLC to act as transfer module, diverter, RAT, etc… The main benefits of this conveyor control are:

  • Low cost wiring ( CAT 5 module to module connection )
  • Single button-push installation: (very fast and low cost installation)
  • Extensive diagnostics
  • Single button-push replacement of malfunctioning modules (fast maintenance)
  • 2 zone controller for cost-effective system modularity
  • System flexibility: The user can add a low-cost PLC to create more complex systems. For example, using ConveyLinx modules as remote I/O’s to control a non-linear conveyor
  • Supports the most popular Ethernet based industrial communication protocols: Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP and PROFINET (Rockwell/Allen Bradley)
