EZ Marquee when combined with EZ PLC, makes a Terrific stand-Alone system for display Process conditions.
EZMarquee, just like other marquees mentioned in this
section, by itself is a slave device. It displays whatever
information is sent to it by a master which could be
either a PLC, a PC or an Embedded Controller. This
information can be sent over a serial connection
like RS232/422/485 in ASCII format, or Ethernet or
DeviceNet or Profibus. It does not store any messages
either. Many applications have the need to trigger
preprogrammed messages or display the contents of
a scaled process variable. For example, take a 4-20
mA reading from a pressure transmitter and display
digital equivalent. Or you may simply want to display
production count and rate at the end of a production
line without having to go to a PLC and deal with
writing ladder logic for it.
Since the EZMarquee can be very easily integrated
with our EZPLC and this almost FREE PLC has a
special marquee port, you can add the power of a very
powerful PLC for as little as $130.00.
