Description
The iControlr Gateway is the interface between an external controller
(usually a PLC) and any of iControl’s dual channel control modules used
with automatic powder guns.
The Gateway converts standard fieldbus protocol messages and
commands (PROFIBUSr, PROFINETr, DeviceNett, or EtherNet/IPt) from
an external controller into the proprietary CAN bus messages required to
communicate with the pump and electrostatic modules controlling the
automatic spray guns.
See Figure 1. The Gateway is capable of interfacing with up to 32
automatic guns through a single cable to the spray control modules.
Additional modules are then connected by daisy chaining this network.
The system is compatible with Encorer, Encore HD, Tribomaticr,
Sure Coatr, Versa-Sprayr, PE, and Prodigyr automatic guns.
