ASPHALT ANCILLARIESCONTROL SYSTEMS
Impulse III is the latest release from the family of successful CMI Impulse asphalt plant control systems. Built on the extensive experience gained from past Impulse systems, it uses state of the art hardware to provide a long term upgrade path.
Using the latest Rockwell software platform and Compact Logix PLC, Impulse III has been developed with the operator and management in mind, keeping it user friendly yet offering extensive production and operational data.
Impulse III uses two high definition wide screen displays to allow the plant operation to be monitored on one display and all data including recipes, materials loading, fuel and energy usage, alarm and materials logging etc., to be monitored and accessed on the second display.
The second display allows asphalt production to continue to be monitored whilst recipes or any logged data is accessed independently of production.
All data can be exported as Excel files for viewing or storing on other PC’s. Hint balloons are displayed by floating the mouse over text and a full help library is available upon clicking on “?” icons. Access to the materials logging database is accessible via the customer’s network as is remote dialup via a second network interface to either monitor plant operation or for full diagnostic support.
