The Mouldflo system is equipped with a DIN-Rail mounted interface module (MFIO) – this is the hub of the system and allows the manifolds to be easily connected to external devices.
The interface module facilitates true ‘plug and play’, allowing multiple manifolds to be monitored and also enables convenient and simple connection to the touch screen, power supply, alarm signals in/out and machine communications. The module is equipped with USB and ethernet.
The data generated by the system can be fed into production monitoring systems or other ancillary devices such as hot runner controllers or the moulding machine control system using the onboard communication ports.
