Most plants recognize the value of a Marquee, but hesitate for fear of disturbing PLC logic.

iMarquee Eliminates that Risk

Ordinary LED message boards

  • Require PLC programming or ladder changes.
  • Create fear of disturbing a running machine.
  • Need engineering time for simple plant messages.

EZ iMarquee

  • Reads the PLC register or tags directly.
  • Displays pre-programmed messages from the marquee while incorporating the variable data from the PLC tags.
  • Leaves signed-off and working PLC code alone.

How the iMarquee works

The PLC continues doing what it already does. The iMarquee watches selected PLC tags and displays the right message when the condition appears.

1

Connect to PLC

Use the industrial communication driver to read the selected PLC tags.

2

Load messages

Program the message list in the marquee, not inside the PLC logic.

3

Display events

Show alarms, status, counts, faults, or instructions on the plant floor.

How does an EZAutomation marquee pay for itself in <3 months

  • Increases machine/cell/line productivity as production results are clearly visible real time that fosters human competitiveness.
  • It cuts down Maintenance and downtime as the maintenance personnel can see the machine/process issue from 100 ft to 400 ft away.
  • Provides enhanced visibility from a distance.
  • Environmentally and mechanically tough construction of the marquee makes it forklift proof as compoared to digital white boards
  • Increases safety and compliance.
  • You can consider EZMaruqee to be an intelligent digital stack light

Mechanically Strong Forklift Proof

A fork lift can run into it and it will continue to do its job. If at all some portion of the Marquee is damaged, it can be repaired. On the other hand, a digital white board if damaged, in any way requires full replacement.

Digital white boards/computer screens not so rugged for plant floors

One avoided failure event can pay for the system.

When operators can see the fault, location, and instruction from across the floor, response time improves. The value is not the LED display. The value is faster action.
