TCN intelligent control card
TRUEControl intelligent control cards are 2-zone control cards that can drive two MDRs simultaneously, reducing costs and increasing conveyor efficiency. TCN control cards are interconnected with each other through PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, offering easy configuration and compatibility with whichever system you are using.

ZPA (Zero Pressure Accumulation) manages a conveyor system in small zones, adjusting individual zone transmission according to its upstream or downstream conditions.
Photo-eye sensors verify when products reach or leave a position, and check that products are conveyed downstream as needed.
Brake controls ensure that even when accumulation occurs, goods will not suffer undue collision that may result in crushing, falling, or incorrect transmission.
