DESCRIPTION
The MCW100C,E Time Proportional Rotary Position Controller provides
automatic grade or steering control of paving, trenching and curbing ma-
chines. The Controller uses a wand follower to sense the grade level or
steering command from a stringline or flat surface.
Two modules are housed in the case of the Controller. The grade sensing
module electromagnetically measures the machine's deviation from a grade
reference. The amplifier module receives the signal from the sensor module
and produces a voltage output to drive solenoid valves which, on a typical
paving machine, operate lift cylinders. Within the amplifier's proportional
band, the percent of time the output is on is proportional to the grade error. The
MCW100C,E may be used together with the MCW101 Time Proportional
Level Controller to control both parameters simultaneously.
FEATURES
May be mounted on either side of machine
Adjustable tracking force
Dual UP/DOWN lamps show deviation from setpoint in
RUN and STANDBY modes
Adjustable deadband varies sensitivity
Run/Standby switch permits operator to switch to
manual control
