Reflex^TM

Productivity

Reflex^TM is a revolutionary programming method exclusive to PC Automax Inc. This method makes it possible to increase automated equipment intelligence and productivity. Compared to SFC or GRAFCET, where the equipment is programmed to execute a precise sequence, Reflex^TM makes it possible for the equipment to react to faulty behaviors and various human interventions.

Reflex^TM's main characteristic is to allow fast restarts under any condition. It is never necessary to empty or to reset a machine in order to restart it. If an operation problem occurs, QuadAlarm^TM detects it, the operator corrects the situation and Reflex^TM makes it possible to start again quickly and smoothly.

Operating interface

One of our performance criteria is that if an equipment refuses to run, either in automatic or manual mode, a message must be displayed so the operator can understand what is going on.

Our operating interface includes the following characteristics:

1. Alarm banner and message banner;

2. Physical localization function for easy diagnosis;

3. Timers, counters, speed presets managment directly in the interface;

4. Customizable online help for operation support; and

5. Customizable description of each input/output for maintenance personnel support.

Applicability

Reflex^TM's applications are designed for sequential automated systems equipped with a graphical operation interface. Conversion, transformation, packaging or material handling lines usually have an excellent optimization potential. Impressive gains are obtained where automated equipment is running 24/24 and 7/7.

Reflex^TM makes smarter machine.
