What is a Production Pace Timer, and how is it used?

The Production Pace Timer (PPT) is a special purpose numeric marquee designed to pace the production rate of any manual process. Each line of the marquee is a six-digit display constructed from 2.3” LED modules providing visibility up to 130 feet.

Common Configuration Use

The GOAL line is programmed as a Preset Value indicating how many units of production are expected. This can be accomplished via Keypad interface or serial communications via PC, PLC, etc. This GOAL value can be set as a static value or an incrementing pace value.

The ACTUAL line of the marquee counts in response to an input, compatible with most photo-eyes, whisker switches, and palm switches, etc., indicating how many units of production have actually been completed. Two count logic inputs are provided allowing the PPT to monitor multi-lane production lines or alternatively Count input number 2 can be configured to decrement the ACTUAL value in order to compensate for "improper" or "bad" pieces/products.

The % EFFICIENCY display line is used to display the efficiency of the production facility (calculated by ACTUAL/GOAL x 100). This instills "at a glance" knowledge of the facilities productivity, to allow the onlookers to adjust accordingly.

The GOAL and ACTUAL fields may be independently reset via Keypad, logic inputs, or Serial communication interface. The GOAL pace display may be paused to stop the GOAL field from automatically incrementing during breaks. A HOLD input is provided for connection to a controlling device, or the operator may hold the GOAL timer via the front panel keypad.

The 2723 Production Pace Timer has serial capabilities for communications via PC COM port interface for monitoring and/or control of unit (free supervisory program PD-2116-051 works for monitoring the GOAL and ACTUAL fields). This is helpful when management and supervisors require real-time data of the processes and assembly lines.

Customer is required to run the necessary wiring (power, communications, and inputs) depending on configuration properties for use. Input wiring is 24 volt contact closure between Ground (Gnd) and each individual input via screw terminal connectors within the PPT housing. AC power wiring (6 foot power cable and pre-wired D-style connector) is provided for convenience. Four holes in rear of cabinet are provided for wall mounting applications. 2 holes located in the top of the cabinet are provided for optional eye bolts (not supplied)
