<p>A conveyor system (10) is provided for transporting parts (20) through a plurality of processing areas (12, 14, 16, 18). The conveyor system (10) comprises a plurality of conveyors (22, 24, 26, 28), each of the conveyors (22, 24, 26, 28) for transporting parts (20) through an associated one of the processing areas (12, 14, 16, 18). Each of the conveyors (22, 24, 26, 28) is driven by a motor (36). Each of a plurality of sensors (44, 48, 52, 56) are associated with one of the plurality of processing areas (12, 14, 16, 18). Each of a plurality of control interfaces (46, 50, 54, 58) is associated with a device in one of the plurality of processing areas (12, 14, 16, 18). Each of a plurality of control circuits is associated with one of the plurality of processing areas (12, 14, 16, 18) and coupled to corresponding sensors (44, 48, 52, 56) and corresponding interfaces (46, 50, 54, 58). At least one operator interface (200, 202, 204) is coupled to the plurality of control circuits. The operator interface (200, 202, 204) can modularly control and monitor devices within the plurality of processing areas (12, 14, 16, 18).</p> |
