Solartronix Systems are better, because:

They do note rely on a PC to keep your plant running:
Personal Computers can be wonderful machines to do a number of
things, but when it comes to operating in the physically and
humanly aggressive environment found in most concrete plants,
their inability to withstand abuse will cause more than a few
headaches and an increase in down time and operating costs.
Besides, PCs don't have what it takes to control your plant.
They need a number of add-ons and they remain, generally
speaking, slow machines. In some PC setups, the automation is
note even performed by the PC itself, but rather by an industrial
grade unit capable of interfacing with the plant, called PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller). This may improve the
performance, but renders the installation quite complex and the
reliability marginal, since the plant still depends on the PC to
operate.

Another problem with PCs is their tendency to rapidly become
obsolete, due to the volatility of their target market.

You may think of a Solartronix system as being an industrial PLC
with built-in PC capabilities, so that it can do without the PC,
hence being tougher, faster, more durable and easier to install
and use, all with a purchase price lower than most PC based
systems. And ... yes, Solartronix systems can be linked to PCs
or other machines and exchange data and commands with them. They
can even read and write PC diskettes if required.

They are flexible:
This is because of their self-contained programming capabilities,
much more
powerful than on a standard PLC, and available right from the
keyboard.

They are simple to operate:
You don't have to train your personnel to be computer operators.
Solartronix systems are designed to be ready to batch concrete
from the moment you switch them on. Their operation has been
carefully studied to eliminate any non-concrete-related
operational steps, making operator training a breeze.

They are simple to install and to maintain:
Their monolithic design simplifies all installation steps:
First, your electrician wires the solenoid valves, switches and
motor starters into the well designed interface box according to
the diagram supplied. The wiring can be checked step by step,
using the manual panel connected to the box and the diagnostic
lights. Next, the scale man plugs the load cells (or signals
from your electronic scales) into the connector provided in the
back of the computer, and calibrates the scales using the
friendly self-calibrating routines provided with the software.
Just enter your mix designs, and you are ready to start automatic
batching !

As far as maintenance, just make sure the loader operator or some
truck driver don't run over it, and your Solartronix unit will
give you many years of loyal and efficient service.

Products

Cx6+

Microbatcher+
With LCD screen for tight spots and all the capabilities of a CW6, like managing customer files, order entry and printing delivery tickets using an additional keyboard and printer.

Microbatcher
So tough it withstands the 'drop-it-to-the-floor' test. Take it on the road in portable plants, or use it in some not-all-that-clean concrete products plant, where it will control skips hoists, conveyors, mud belts, holding hoppers, multiple mixers and the like.

Interface Box
Included with all Solartronix systems, it is designed to simplify wiring. It has one diagnostic light for each plant function, individually labelled with the function's name. It's optic fiber link with the computer protects the later from electrical interference..

Manual Panel
Basic design for simplicity and reliability, it gives the alternative of doing a total clean-up in those old, messy electrical installations, by wiring all plant functions directly to the interface box to eliminate bulky old manual panels.
