MP300 Series Controller

The MP300 Series Controller is the ultimate replacement for general purpose counters. They are easy to install, easy to use, and accurate.

OPEN LOOP VS CLOSED LOOP

The MP300 Series Controller is available in Open Loop and Closed Loop configurations. The difference between the two is explained below:

Open Loop

An Open Loop control system consists of an electronic length controller, such as the MP300 Series Controller, and a material encoder. The MP300 Series Controller reads back positioning information from the material encoder and activates a shear or press device at a programmed length. This type of system relies heavily on the repeatability of the shear and/or press devices to be accurate. See MP300 Series Open Loop Controller for more information.

Closed Loop

A Closed Loop control system consists of an electronic length controller, such as the MP300CL Series Closed Loop Controller, a material encoder, and a servo positioning device such as a Die Accelerator or Servo Feed. These systems should be used for applications where accuracy of +/-.030" or better is required. The Closed Loop system differs from the Open Loop system in that the controller reads back positioning information from both the material and servo motor that is either controlling the position of a die or of a feeding system. See MP300CL Series Closed Loop Controller for more information.

PRODUCTIVE

The MP300 Series Controller can dramatically increase your production rate. Costly delays for length changes are eliminated. The MP300 Series Controller can be programmed in seconds. Higher line speed also means more production. The MP300 Series Controller allows you to increase speed without losing accuracy.

EASY TO USE

The MP300 Series Controller is easily programmed in response to flashing English prompts. There are no function codes or programming sequences. You simply enter Quantity and Length and run the machine. The MP300 Series Controller stops the machine when the batch is finished. See below for a screen shot of the status screen.

EASY TO INSTALL

The MP300 Series Controller is designed to control virtually any machine with little or no additional hardware. Most users can install the MP300 Series Controller themselves. Expert advice and help from an AMS applications engineer is only a phone call away. Or ask for a quote to have AMS install it for you.
