LIGHTNING AUTOMATION CONTROLS
This control builds on the already very successful Rexcon Control and Communication Center (RC3). Some of the features and benefits included in the Lightning system are a new state of the art PLC that utilizes a high speed Ethernet communication port for an extremely fast batching control. The new PLC can be updated with a USB flash drive that can also be used to back up the system.
The PLC CPU, power supply, I/O relays, and associated I/O modules are all mounted on a din rail allowing additional modules to be added at the customer site as well as replaced quickly. Also the parts are available around the world so replacements are readily available quickly.
Lastly with all the enhancements that have been put into the Rexcon Lightning system. The control interface is exactly the same as the RC3 control the users have come to know so no specialized operator training is required to run the system if the operator has used RC3 in the past.
