VGC Control

The VGC is designed around the fact that plant automation is becoming a necessity instead of just a convenience. The UIO sits between the PLC and multiple EDI distributor and/or VGC gate controls. The UIO then talks directly to PLCs using a serial or Ethernet connection. Many PLC protocols are supported so that operation of the Gate is performed without writing a single rung of PLC code. Most importantly, any error information is communicated from each VGC Control to the PLC so the necessary remedial action may be taken.

See UIO Documentation Below for more details.

Our standard configuration for VGC or EDI is mounted in a 10" x 8" x 5" Deep NEMA 12 Enclosure.

EDI / VGC Components can also be mounted on optional Mutiple Module Backplanes ready to install in customers own Enclosure

Shown above is a pre-wired 4' x 3' x 8" NEMA 12 enclosure holding 16 complete VGC drives and controls. This Enclosure can include an Ethernet UIO and associated communication wiring to the controls for PLC automation. These panels may be just partially populated with controls to allow for future expansion

• Universal I/O (UIO)
  The Multi-function UIO Interface Module can handle digital switching as well as network control. It can communicate directly to PLCs using serial or Ethernet media and several language protocols including DF1, Modbus-RTU, Ethernet/ IP and Modbus/TCP. It can also be used for direct digital switching of relays, starters, alarms, solenoids or other discrete plant devices.
  
  

• Wiring Accessories
  We have the cables and hubs required for a complete EDINet installation. The cables have RJ-12 plugs on each end and come in stock lengths of 5’, 10’ and 25’ and 50’ lengths. Hubs are available with 6 or 12 ports.
