PIC Product Inspection
Control Modules were designed to meet the demand for an easy-to-install and easy-to-use
control for product sortation and inspection systems.
PIC Controls are used with
a minimum of two DC-powered sensors. The "product sensor" is used to detect
the arrival of the product, and the "inspection sensor" is used to identify
or inspect the product for the critical identifying feature, e.g., variations in
color, pattern, position, orientation, size, opacity, or surface reflectivity.
PIC Controls supply 24 VDC power to both
the product and inspection sensors. The control accepts inputs from NPN open collector
transistor outputs of the remote sensors. Each input is opto-isolated to prevent
problems with electrical noise or interference. The status of each input can be
easily monitored via LED indicators located on the top of the control.
Using a Tri-Tronics
high-performance sensor, such as a Mark II or EZ-Pro with the PIC Control makes this a unique system that is capable of responding
to color, opacity, reflectivity, pattern, position, size or orientation.
