Garvens Remote Control Checkweigher Interface Module
MVI56-GRCM
The MVI56 Garvens Remote Control Checkweigher Interface Module allows ControlLogix I/O compatible processors to interface easily with Garvens Checkweighers that use Garvens Remote Control (GARECO) serial protocol. The module offers two application serial ports, providing connectivity for one GARECO device per port.
Features and Benefits
The MVI56-GRCM module acts as an input/output module between the Garvens Remote Control Checkweighers and the ControlLogix processor. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the checkweigher.
Applications
Applications using the Garvens Remote Control Checkweigher Module can be found in many industrial sectors including:
- Packaging machinery
- Batch and process manufacturing
- Production lines or transport lines
- Weighing and sorting goods in motion
- Monitoring/automatic controlling of filling processes
