General Description: EZ Connect to EZ PLC for Extremely Low Cost Stand-Alone Production Monitoring System
Combination of EZPLC and EZ Marquee make a terrific low cost production monitoring system which pays for itself in less than 90 days. The EZ PLC can store all the messages as well as provide any I/O and logic that might be needed for the application.
As shown above, for just $479 you can build an extremely powerful 2" character LED based production monitoring system. EZ PLC is configured with 8 digital inputs to connect to various sensors on a production line to determine the number and rate of passed as well as failed units in a given period of time. This would normally cost anywhere from $4000 and up, but EZPLC/EZ Marquee has changed the cost dynamic allowing productivity increases even in low cost operations.
Some examples of such a end of the line production monitoring system would be:
1. Display Actual production rate real time as compared to target.
2. Display Pass/Fail performance.
3. Display important process variables such as temperature and pressure.
The production line may have its own network of PLC's that can be left alone and not touched whereas the EZ PLC and EZ Marquee can provide the stand-alone end of the line monitoring system.
