:: Plastic Extrusion ::
Extrusion controller communicates with your PLC, drives and SCADA

An integrator in the extrusion industry was asked by one of his customers to upgrade several extrusion lines. The customer wanted to eliminate the panel-mounted controllers, which were time consuming for the operators to adjust. The customer also asked that each extruder’s performance be logged for later review, both at the machine, as well as on the supervisor’s PC.




The eight-zone extruder was controlled with a Modular Controller Master module, as well as four dual PID modules, each fitted with the optional heater current input. The extruder’s pressure was monitored with a single strain gage input module. The integrator chose the G310 interface so that the operators could glance at the entire process, including information from the Modular Controller, the PLC and the variable-frequency drive, all on one screen.
