PMII-B Continuous Mix Blending Controls Print E-mail

30" Console with Manual Controls


PMII controls and monitors proportional control of aggregate feeders and the blending of asphalt, recycle, shingles, and additives. PMII is ideal for retrofit applications or it can be custom configured to work the WM2000.
PMII-B Continuous Mix Blending Controls

Operator friendly Windows® based interface.

The PMII replaces existing PM96 control systems or can be installed new when manual controls are desired. The reliable Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) helps reduce con- trol system downtime. PMII helps you meet or exceed state automation requirements while allowing flexibility for customization. This flexibility also allows the control system to be easily and cost-effectively upgraded as needs change. Optional remote PC control software allows diagnosis of control system problems via telephone modem or the internet (high speed internet access required).
