ConveyLinx

Complexity simplified.

Pulseroller ConveyLinx was the first Ethernet based networked motor roller conveyor controller when it was released over a decade ago and today it still provides the standard upon which others are measured. ConveyLinx provides automatic push-button installation and configuration for fast and simple installation and commissioning of motor roller conveyor systems.

Out of the box, ConveyLinx provides automatic zero-pressure accumulation (ZPA) conveyor control. Using Pulsroller’s complimentary EasyRoll software, you can customize and configure the built-in ZPA functionality to your application. With ConveyLinx working in ZPA mode, you can also connect your PLC with a simple interface to receive status as well as control product flow without having to write logic code to make the conveyor operate.

You can go a step further and change ConveyLinx to suspend ZPA operation and use it as a true remote drive control to your PLC network where your PLC logic can direct all of the modules’ functions.

Each ConveyLinx module has the ability to communicate with Ethernet I/P, Profinet I/O, Modbus TCP, and CC-Link IEF Basic protocols.

ConveyLinx-HTF model provides BOOST-8 performance capability as well as being freezer rated down to -30°C (-22°F).

ConveyLinx-E and ConveyLinx-E-HTF models are ETL marked versions that are Listed to UL specifications 61010-2 and UL 61010-2-201.
