MP300
Series Open Loop Controller
OPERATION
AND DESCRIPTION
The MP300
Series Controller is an electronic length controller that is
part of an Open Loop control system. A wheel with a known circumference
is attached to a material encoder and rides on the material. As the
material moves through the machine, the wheel rotates and the encoder
generates electric pulses proportional to the amount of material moved.
The controller counts these pulses to determine how much material has
moved. When the material reaches a point where a punch is needed, the
controller cycles a punch press. When the material past the cutoff press
is equal to the length programmed, the controller cycles the shear press.
IMPROVED ACCURACY
The MP300 Series
Controller has Speed Compensation - an AMS exclusive. It continually
monitors position, speed and velocity, and compensates for any changes.
The result is significantly better accuracy at much higher line speeds.
APPLICATIONS
The MP300
Series Controller can control a variety of machine applications
from flying cutoffs to feed to stop machines. See block diagram below.
The MP300 Series
Controller has logic built into it to handle most machine control
functions. The user does not need to add Programmable Logic Controllers
(PLC's) to get the correct machine sequence and safety features. Refer
to the MP300 Operation Manual for details.
