High Capacity Resin Conveying Automation
Older conventional controls place all of the brains and input/output capabilities required for conveying system operation in a box on the wall, and require long runs of multi-conductor cables to be extended to each receiver, pump and valve in the system. All of that changes with the ELS. This single-wire Ethernet-based loading system is fully distributed, completely flexible and scalable, and easy and cost-effective to install. The I/O modules, connected via industrial Ethernet, are added as needed and placed near conveying system components, eliminating hard wiring. Up to six compact touch screen panels can be placed anywhere. Dozens of independently operating conveying systems can be easily networked, viewed and controlled from multiple locations.
Shared components, like back-up pumps, material purge valves can operate seamlessly with multiple vacuum systems, all controlled from a master conveying control system, as reliable as it is sophisticated.

How it Works
Features
The ELS Control is Conair’s most powerful material-handling system. Scalable from the basic configuration of 90 loaders, to the fully deployed configuration that can manage up to 500 loaders, the ELS can be programmed for simple intuitive navigation.
I/O connections are located in compact modules near the loader or pump location. Communication between the PLC and the modules takes place via a single Ethernet cable. Adding more loaders to the system is as simple as tying it into a remote module nearby.
The ELS control makes use of Allen-Bradley ArmorBlock and ArmorPoint I/O modules. These are commonly available components that make it easy to build and grow a control network.
Each ArmorBlock provides connections for up to 4 loaders, 3 pumps, and 8 material sources.
When expanding in larger increments, ArmorPoint modules can be used to add up to 16 loaders, 12 pumps, and 32 sources with 1 Ethernet connection.
Because it is all Ethernet-based, ELS users have the advantage of internet connectivity. Any device – computer, tablet, or even a smart phone – with access to a company network, can be used to reach the ELS control. Whatever can be done via the in-plant Ethernet-connected monitors can also be completed on the remote device.
The ArmorBlock and ArmorPoint system allows for clean installation, and features open design that is dust-tight and water-tight. Rated for IP69K and NEMA 4X (when marked) for use without an enclosure.
The panel can be mounted to C-channel framing and allows for easy access to the ArmorBlock and ArmorPoint connections. Connections are quick and simple, and the open design allows for easy viewing of the connection and communication lights incorporated on each panel.

Features
Descriptive screens with animated icons
The ELS screens are highly descriptive with active icons to let you know what is currently happening with the machine. Just by looking at the icon, you can tell if a loader has demand, is loading, dumping or faulting.
This screen shows the specific selected pump and all the loaders attached to it. Also shown are the runtime hours for the pump and all the preventative maintenance information associated with the pump accessories. This is where a backup pump is assigned to take over the currently operating pump.
Navigate your way
Conair’s Quick Find Feature allows for navigation in many different ways. Navigate by shift, personnel, function, plant layout, or even a plant drawing. Quick Find allows the user to simply touch an area of interest to zero-in on a piece of equipment. A great way for multiple users to find the equipment they use the most, Quick Find allows a variety of ways to navigate to specific controls or components. Aimlessly searching through screens trying to remember or decode which piece of equipment is which is a thing of the past. Welcome to Quick Find!
You can choose which icons appropriately represent your equipment. Select an RG Pump style icon for one pump, and a PD icon for a Positive Displacement Pump. Select an Access Receiver icon for your Access Receivers. This type of flexibility and built-in programming allows the user to identify the correct equipment with what is displayed on the screen.
