Pw 14682 Hmc1

Easier programming, less wiring, and less hardware are benefits of a new plug-in Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) from Electro Cam (Roscoe, IL) for the Pouchmaster hf/f/s machine from HMC Products (Rockford, IL). The PLS plugs into the system’s Allen-Bradley SLC-500 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) from Rockwell Automation (Milwaukee, WI).

The PLS turns output signals on and off according to the relative position of a rotating shaft. PLSs are typically used to increase the accuracy of material or product positioning or registration.
