Avtron NetMaxTM EthernetTM Module for AutoMaxTM Systems

Avtron NetMax Ethernet Module for AutoMax Systems

 The NetMax card, unlike other bridge products being sold, is plugged directly into the AutoMax rack. It provides access to any and all variables within the AutoMax system without the bottleneck of the DCS network. Now you can easily access AutoMax data with improved connectivity to HMI’s, PLC’s, Data Loggers, or other plant controls. You can modernize your communication system and extend the life of your AutoMax system. The Avtron NetMax card supports ModBus TCP, EGD (GE), and Ethernet/IP implicit, explicit, PCCC Ethernet Protocols.PDFRead More about it! View the sales literature in PDF format. Questions on PDF?

Avtron Industrial Power Resistors

Industrial Power Resistors
Five styles of Industrial Power Resistors.

 Avtron industrial power resistors are designed for typical industrial applications ranging from 1 amp to 525 amps and up to 1200 amps for higher voltage power plant applications. They provide short term overload current protection.Avtron resistors work better and cost less. Designs replace existing resistors without modifying equipment. Avtron can quote and deliver these items based on the part numbers of the equipment being replaced and do it faster than most other vendors.
Avtron’s quality is unequalled. Fully-supported elements prevent premature failures by resisting shock and vibration. Unique element designs allow for maximum cooling to ensure long life. Chromium alloy and aluminized steel housings provide high reliability and corrosion protection. Available options include enclosures, wiring and interconnection, thermal switches, and incorporation into control systems.

Applications for Avtron Industrial Resistors include:

  • Neutral Grounding Resistors
  • Dynamic Braking
  • Overhead Cranes
  • Electric Lift Trucks
  • Mining Machines
  • Locomotives
  • Harmonic Filters
  • Process Heating
  • Electric Furnaces
  • Convection Heaters
  • Load Discharge
  • Load Banks
  • Ballast Resistors

K679A Rotary Knife Digital Controls

Avtron’s Rotary Knife Digital Control System provides the latest in high precision digital technology for the retrofitting of existing rotary knife cutters. Mechanical systems can be easily upgraded, allowing faster length change and more accurate cut length (see examples below).

Additional benefits include:

  • Potential increase in machine horsepower
  • Increased line speed with higher accuracy
  • Less operator attention required
  • Automatic sheet counting
  • Lower operating cost and maintenance

K677B Splice Controller

The Avtron K677B Digital Splice Control System provides automatic accurate control for the splicing of the expiring roll and a new roll. Swing arm or turret operation parameters are conveniently displayed to the splice operator during the process, to minimize waste and eliminate missed splices. The system is easily configurable by the operator thus making the system easier to understand and maintain.

Other system features include:

  • Graphical 4-channel signal recorder for diagnostics
  • Fast 32-bit controller
  • 5″ x 9″ operator interface with sealed keypad
  • One or two core sizes

K895 Line Shaft Draw Controller

The Avtron K895 Digital Speed/Draw Control System is designed for upgrading line shaft machines, to provide progressive draw control for up to 15 machine sections. Mechanical belt shifters are interfaced to fast, accurate Digital controls. Operator stations interface control and display for each section’s Speed and Draw. Each section is coordinated with the others through a communications serial link.

System capabilities include:

  • LED display for each section
  • Setpoints entered in percent, ratio or difference draw modes
  • Sections can be added one at a time
  • Accuracy of 0.01% with one second update time
  • User defined draw – progressive, electrical line shaft, or both
  • Individually tunable speed/draw, per section
