TRI-TRONICS PRODUCT INSPECTION CONTROL MODULES (PIC-1)

Tri-Tronics 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 optoisolated 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.

TRI-TRONICS
PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL MODULES (PM8100 & PM8200)

Tri-Tronics MULTI-MATE Control Modules provide users with the flexibility to program up to 25 functions. These unique controls are the perfect match for use with DC-powered sensors. They combine the simplicity of plug-in controls with the versatility of programming a wide variety of functions.  MULTI-MATEs are available in either single or dual function models. All models provide a heavy-duty AC solid state output switch (TRIAC) as well as an output from an NPN open collector transistor. The controls also provide 24 VDC power for the remote sensor. The input to the control can be from an open collector transistor or a switch. Event functions, timing ranges, and operating sequence are easily programmed using 8-position mini-dip switches, which are conveniently accessible through ports located on the front of the control.

TRI-TRONICS SEPS®
DC POWER SUPPLY CONTROL MODULES (SEPS-1,2,3,4,5)

Tri-Tronics SEPS Series plug-in modules offer a convenient means of converting 120 VAC or 240 VAC power into 24 VDC unregulated power for use with TRI-TRONICS DC-powered sensors  .SEPS Series plug-in modules are offered in six variations.  The Tri-Tronics SEPS-1 module is designed to supply only DC power to the sensors.  SEPS-2 and SEPS-3 are available with the capability to convert NPN open collector transistor outputs from the sensor into conventional hard relay contact outputs, with SEPS-4 and SEPS-5 converting it into solid state AC TRIAC outputs… in addition to supplying DC power. Models are also available with either one or two relays, or one or two TRIACs. The SEPS-6 allows the interface of modern sensors with obsolete Tri-Tronics control modules. All inputs of the SEPS relay devices can be addressed by the outputs of independent sensors. These inputs can also be paralleled to accept the output of a single sensor to drive loads in unrelated circuits.
