EXA1, Air Management Hub

The heart of the Air Management System is the hub.  Based on the PF3A flow sensor, the hub generates flow, pressure and temperature data to quantify machine operation.  The standalone or remote hubs can communicate wirelessly with the base units.  The base units have fieldbus communication for connection to the PLC while process data is provided via OPC UA to the customer analytics system.
