• Part of the ConveyLinx® family of products

When you install a length of linear conveyor, the ConveyLinx® ERSC modules automatically detect the direction of package flow, automatically recognize the type of sensors you're using, and automatically configure themselves appropriately... all with the touch of a button.

Each ERSC module is connected to the modules on either side of it via standard Ethernet cable, except for the very first and the very last module. All you need to do is stand at the beginning of the conveyor and push the button on the first ERSC module. ConveyLinx® takes care of the rest.

Yes, it really is that simple.

The ConveyLinx® control system is a series of individual ConveyLinx® modules interconnected via standard Ethernet cabling to form an integrated solution for MDR (Motorized Drive Roller) conveyor functionality. Each ConveyLinx® module can accommodate up to 2 MDRs, 2 sensors, and 2 hardware connections (interlocking) to provide control for up to 2 conveyor zones. Each module also includes convenient connectivity ports for upstream and downstream Ethernet network cabling, as well as connectivity ports for discrete I/O signals with non-networked controls for local interlock interface functions.

ConveyLinx® can easily be automatically configured to operate multiple zones of linear conveyor "right out of the box" with the push of a button, and without any special tools or PC software required. However, with the ConveyLinx® EasyRoll software tool and a PC, each module's default configuration can be modified to customize functionality for specific applications.
