Model EZ-3200 Weigh Feeder and
Process Controller
The Thayer EZ 3200 is a multi-processor controller specifically designed for weigh feeder applications. It consists of a family of modules that can be combined in many ways to suit a variety of applications. The control is performed by general purpose and special software running on the EZ-3200 modules and communicating over a Local Area Network (LAN) to provide many possible configurations for local and distributed systems.
The basic EZ 3200 consists of a card cage (rack) with a Power Supply (PS-2) and an Application Processor module (AP32HS) which can support several other plug in modules. An essential module for
each weighing device is the Scale Signal Processor (SSP). In addition to the circuitry for energizing and reading the scale transducer, it provides a limited amount of I/O to accommodate a single application.
General purpose I/O modules can be installed to provide additional input and output signals of various types. |

| EZ-3200 FEATURES and BENEFITS |
| Modular Architecture |
- Cost Effective. Purchase only those features that are needed to meet the requirements.
- Modules, developed to accomplish a particular task, can be easily added.
- System can be expanded by adding modules, a larger rack or additional racks
- Modularity aids trouble shooting. Allows easy, “module swapping” style isolation. Gets your system up and running quickly.
|
Select input and output signals to
match your control needs |
- Reduce Engineering Time and Cost.
- Eliminates the third party “I/O Black Box”.
|
| Modules have a Micro Processor Dedicated
to their Function |
- Low level tasks are handled by the modules internal processor. This leaves the supervisory processor in the AP-32 free to respond quickly for better control of the process.
|
| Simple Rack Mount |
- Reduces Installation Time & Cost
- Plug in connections on modules eliminates most manual wiring.
- Can be installed where you want
- A wide variety of enclosures are available
|
Rack Size Can Be Selected to Suit
Application |
- 4 or 6 module racks can be selected to tailor the EZ-3200 to meet present requirements and to anticipate requirements.
|
| One Power Supply Per Rack |
- The PS-2 Module distributes power to all modules in the rack. This simplifies module construction.
- It also aids trouble shooting by isolating power supply problems.
|
Each Rack Back Plane has an Internal
BUS |
- Allows fastest communication between modules in the rack.
- The buss makes information available in any one module available to all modules.
|
| Easy to Add Rack System |
- Adding racks keeps the burden on any one system processor down for fastest system response.
- Adding racks allows isolation of control architecture. Individual lines can be run independently while trouble shooting another.
