Conveyor Management System (CMS)
Eliminates downtime and improves safety with a unique network of monitoring and protection devices -- without conduit or extra wiring.
|
The Conveyor Management System continuously monitors your conveyor system to provide a safety and protection network unlike any other system on the market.
Intelligent Controllers:
CMS control units monitor and supervise the entire system. When a problem occurs, the controller stops the conveyor, displays the type of fault and its location, and transmits the information to a central control room.
Field Components: A wide selection of safety, protection, and communication devices is available to meet the needs of your specific application.
Dual-Purpose Pull Cable: The CMS system is interconnected with a PVC-covered high-tensile steel cable which has six internal conductors. The cable serves as both the electrical and control cable for the entire system, as well as the emergency stop pull cable.

- Continuous monitoring from conveyor startup to shutdown identifies problems before they cause stoppage, damage, or personnel injury.
- Modular design allows functions and devices to be added or removed to meet your specific needs.
- No need for conduit or extra wiring.
CTS Pull Cable supplies all the communications for the system, while also functioning as the pull cable. Other systems require individual switches to be hardwired through conduit.
- Pinpoints faults by type and location so maintenance crews spend less time searching for the problem, and get vital equipment back online sooner.
- Emergency stop, pre-start warning, and speech communications along the entire length of the conveyor enhance employee safety and equipment protection.
- Interlocking and sequencing can control material flow. If a safety device stops a downstream conveyor, either upstream conveyors are stopped or flow is diverted to another conveyor. Once the problem is corrected, all conveyors are restarted sequentially, and the conveyor system is once again charged with material.
- Central control room provides an overview of your entire operation, combining information from all controllers and field components, using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software.
- Hardwire or RF radio communications. Controllers can use any indistrial protocol or serial communications (RS-32, RS-422, or RS-485). Or, RF radio transmitters can be used to remove the need for hardwire communications.

From 10 feet to 10 miles, we can provide the complete solution for your conveyor control needs.
- Any level of service and components, literally from the pull cord switch to the SCADA screen.
- Complete system pre-testing eliminates start-up delays. Because we provide both the field components and control units, we can completely test the entire system prior to shipment, eliminating delays due to incompatible components.
