FLX-128 Loading Control
Central Loading 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.
