Each MLC 9000+ system comprises up to 32 loops via a communication module and up to 8 control modules. Communication options include Modbus, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, CANopen, Ethernet/IP and Modbus/TCP. Control modules are available with 1, 3 and 4 loops. Heater break inputs are available on 1 and 3 loop modules.
Less trouble than discrete controllers
Switching to one, neat MLC9000+ significantly reduces installation time
and cost. The MLC9000+ involves less wiring with no need for panel cut-outs.
HMI's: seeking the best match for the best performance.
West also sell's a wide range of HMI's, specifically for use with the MLC9000+
Better temperature control
Moving temperature control from a PLC/PC to the MLC9000+ improves performance.
Easy to integrate into the master device
Setting up communication between the MLC9000+ and the master device is
simplicity itself. A 'drag and drop' feature in the configurator selects the
parameters presented to the master device.
Maximise up-time
The MLC9000+ features a true hot-swap facility. A module can be removed,
replaced and automatically re-configured in under 30 seconds! There is no need
to touch the remaining control modules - allowing them to continue functioning
when any of the other modules are removed.
Benefits include:
- Quicker to setpoint and faster reaction to disturbances
- No need to manually tune loops
- Set up 32 loops in under 30 minutes
- Free up PLC capacity by 'outsourcing' loop control to the MLC9000+
