EZMarquee from EZAutomation.net

3 posts in this topic

I have a requirement to use a scrolling marquee on a production floor for displaying various processing times etc.. PLC is a SLC 5/03 based system. I was considering buying an EZMarquee from EZAutomation.net, but wanted to get some feedback from someone that may have used this marquee before. I intend to communicate through CH0 RS232. I typically buy automation products from autmationdirect.com, however they dont appear to have a scrolling marquee.. Thx

I hope your Distance SLC to Marquee is 50 foot or less. beyond that you'll want to use 422 or serial to ethernet convertor. Or as an RS232 option Black Box makes a high noise environment cable.

The marquees are good for the price I guess. They can't read registers from your PLC or store any data in them. You have to send each message to them via the serial port in real time.
