Complete Shop Solution
The complete shop solution includes
- Master Serial Control Box
- Automatic Blast Gates
- Smart Sensors
- Variable Frequency Drive
Features and Benefits
- An Average 68% Energy Savings on Installed Systems: By modulating the air flow for a central dust / fume / mist collection system based on demand requirements, up to 80% energy savings will be realized compared to a system operated at a 100% of the total air volume requirement.
- Control logic sets system air flow through a VFD on the fan motor to service workstations in operation, minimize energy consumption and maintain a minimum transport velocity in pipe system
- Inputs: sensors from WS, neg. pressure sensor
- Outputs: number & location of open gates, RPM of the fan
- Control Logic - based on model of pipe system & fan performance
- Affinity Laws: Reduce Air Volume by 50% then 12.5% energy is necessary to power fan
System Scalability: Our Master Serial System will control up to four collection systems with up to a total of 100 Autogates.
Simple and Cost Effective Control Network:
Serial Communication Technology (RS485 MODBUS Standard) significantly reduces the complexity and cost of connecting a large number gates compared to Star Technology. Serial Communication Network only requires one wire to connect one gate to another gate.

Star Technology |
Standard Industrial PC Technology: The standard controller for the Master Serial System is an Industrial PC unit with a NEC touch screen interface and Microsoft Windows XP Operating System. These reliable technologies use a familiar user interface and proven components, as well as a battery backup in case of power interruption.
User Interface
Use Recorded Data for Energy and Production Analysis: Data Mining for System Evaluation and Production Analysis - Master Serial System monitors energy usage, as well as work station utilization. Measured values are recorded on Compact Flash card. With SmartFlow Data Mining Software, the date can be downloaded for system and production analysis.
System Energy Usage Report
Activity of Workstations Report:
Remote Access via Internet or LAN: Master Serial System can be accessed remotely via internet and or LAN through a secure Log Mein Technology. Through this connection, the system control parameters can be set up, modified and tested and the system software updated. Furthermore, the operator can remotely monitor the system operation and download energy usage and machine utilization data.
Simple Installation on Workstation Controls: The Smart sensors make it easy to tie the production machine controls to the Master Serial System.
