Combination of EZSeries TextPLC and EZ Marquee make a teriffic low cost production monitoring system. EZSeries TextPLC has a built-in RS485/RS422 port on the PLC which supports ASCII and enables to network EZ Marquees. The EZSeries TextPLC has an optional Ethernet port through which you can communicate to EZ marquee by using standard IP addresses with router and switches.

As shown above, for just $716 you can build an extremely powerful 2" character LED based production monitoring system. This would normally cost anywhere from $2000 and up, but EZSeries TextPLC / EZ Marquee has changed the cost dynamic allowing productivity increase even in low budget operations.
