Process signals from up to 15 sensors with this system
The Watchdog Super Elite system (WDC4; photo) processes signals from up to 15 sensors for belt speed, belt misalignment, continuous bearing temperature, pulley misalignment and plug conditions on bucket elevators or conveyors. When an alarm condition is detected, the system will log the details, sound an alarm and provide shutdown control of the elevator or conveyor and feeding system. The controller settings are password protected, and can be set up either directly on the LCD screen, or by a free PC software application and transferred to the WDC4 via an SD card. The Watchdog Super Elite is simple to install and set up, and it can be connected directly to a programmable logic controller (PLC) using Modbus TCP/IP protocol. The Watchdog System is approved by CSA/NRTL for Class II dust hazard areas for use in Canada and the U.S. Booth 2549 — 4B Components Ltd., Morton, Ill.
