Industrial Network Web Guide Controller

North American Manufacturing Company’s H6423 web guide controller is for machines that use operator HMI’s or industrial network communication. The H6423 can accept operator commands directly from a machine HMI or as an addressable networked device when used in conjunction with a North American industrial gateway interface. The unit operates on a 24-VDC power supply, and uses standard SimPlex™ sensors and actuators to deliver precise web control. North American Manufacturing Co., www.namfg.com
