ACE Controller - Material Handling

Return to Previous Page

White Systems offers a full line of controls to meet specific material handling applications and requirements. White designs and builds ETL, UL, and CE listed controllers for integrated carousel systems, stand-alone carousel equipment, and updating existing equipment.

The ACE Controller is housed in a 42 x 30 x 8 inch NEMA-12 enclosure with 24 inch floor stands. A locking disconnect switch is mounted on the door. Low voltage connectors for carousel sensors and other peripheral devices are on the left side of the enclosure. A fan and air filter provide forced ventilation for components inside the enclosure.

The heart of the controller is a state-of-the-art high performance 32-bit single board computer. Its enhanced capabilities provide faster message processing and quicker response time for higher carousel throughput at peak order picking periods.

Unlike older IPC units, the ACE Controller has a built-in Carousel Interface Terminal (CIT) that requires no special software, cables, or hand held devices. Operational status of the carousel system is continually displayed on the CIT in the form of intuitive LCD messages. The terminal also provides for manual operation of the carousels, message monitoring, and system configuration.
