Enter, System 5 the latest development in Extrusion Control and Process Monitoring systems
from LTD. Based on the Allen-Bradley SoftLogix 5800 controller, System 5 is a
combination of state of the art hardware and Windows® 2000 software which can be tailored
to your specific extrusion process. System 5 provides you with a clear Real-time Process
View of your extrusion run while logging data from all process variables at a rate of once
per second.
System 5 Components
THE HOME PAGE
The Home Page is your main view of the actual extrusion process. All measured parameters
are clearly presented to the operator and each process parameter is color coded based on
user defined Hi & Lo alarm limits. Any process variable can be displayed in a Data
Strip view, Analog Meter view or Graphic Trend view directly on the Extruder Page.
THE PRODUCT INFO PAGE
The Product Info page is used to enter qualitative information about your extrusion run.
This information is stored with your data files for later recall.
THE REALTIME DATA PAGE
The Realtime Data page provides a digital snapshot of the current run data along with
alarm settings for all process variables. This snapshot can be sent to the printer at any
time during a run.THE
REALTIME TRENDS PAGE
The Realtime Trends page provides a graphic display of up to 4 process variables at one
time. These plots can also be expanded to a full screen overlay view. The System 5
quick-zoom feature allows you to zoom and expand critical run time data plots. |

THE ALARM & EVENTS PAGES
The Alarm and Events pages ensure that a complete history of the
extrusion run is logged for future review. The Alarm page automatically logs any process
variable which enters either a Hi or Lo alarm condition. This information is logged along
with the time,operator, and alarm value. The Events page allows the operator to log
comments and events during the extrusion run.
DATA REVIEW
The System 5 Review package allows you to recall data from previous extrusion runs and
generate reports along with graphic data plots.
Remote Access Capability
All System 5 systems ship with a remote control access package which can be used for a
variety of functions. These include remote service support, data file transfer, easy
upgrades, and remote viewing of your extrusion process.
