Hello everybody.
The plastic extrusion plant that I am working for has accumulated for 20 years wide variety of different brand and type of specific electronic process control equipment like: NDC systems (radioactive gauge for tape line), Eurotherm (radioactive gauge for coating line), Gravitrol (extruder speed control), Survivor (batching). That equipment has no excess to their program and I wouldn’t say that it is reliable. I have checked those companies’ web sites. Found that they are still selling their closed black boxes and looks like successfully. For me it would be much better to use a standard PLC. I am going to do research about process control in plastic extrusion industry and as usually first of all I am asking your help to direct me.
Thank you.
