Digital Throughout
One plant operator came to us recently complaining that they were losing thousands of dollars in mysteriously vanishing materials. The cause? Their system, from a competitor, was part digital and part analog. As a result, the scale readout and the computer readout had drifted apart over time (sort of like the difference between a wind up and a quartz watch). The computer was adding more material than was required! Auto-Control 2000 EZ-Cal is digital throughout, making drifting scale values next to impossible.

Load Cell Self Test
Are you sure that your load cells are working properly? What is your cost if they aren't? Auto-Control 2000 EZ-Cal is unique in being able to test automatically for load cell failure, potentially saving you from bad loads, wasted material, and unhappy customers.

Uses Standard PC Technology
Unlike other products, which require complicated add-on computer boards, Auto-Control 2000 EZ-Cal consists of a standard PC connected to the I/O system with just one cable. Connections are reliable, repair, if needed, is fast, and the manual station has been "future-proofed" to allow simple upgrades and the capacity for advanced operating systems.

Remote Batching
Have you thought about the advantages of having semi-unattended batching plants and controlling their batch jobs from another primary site? With Auto-Control 2000 EZ-Cal you can not only initiate a remote batch, but you can also use detailed, graphical feedback to monitor discharge and completion.

Reliability

With easy to replace, low voltage buttons, which can last up to 20 times as long as the high voltage types, and easily reassignable I/O points, EZ-Cal is built for the long haul. Auto-Control 2000 EZ-Cal has been designed with simplicity, quality, and standardization in mind to make life easier for you and your operations more reliable than ever before.

Remote Diagnostics
Do you find yourself spending a long time on the phone trying to explain a problem? You don't have to with Auto-Control 2000 because our trained technicians can simply dial into your system via modem and take a look for themselves, we see exactly what the operator sees. This allows quick diagnosis of the problem and a resumption of production as fast as possible.

Optional features:
- Order Entry
- Delivery ticket printing with customer selectable printing format
- Control weighed water from multiple sources
- Automatic Moisture Probe for fine aggregate
- Second terminal operation for order entry/ticket edit and remote batching
   applications
