The TTC Control Box, or PFC, is a device that controls the flow of the product on an assembly line. It is typically connected between two conveyorized modules (conveyor or machine) and provides the following functions:
• Stops products from entering the next process step until all parameters have been validated
• Allows products to enter the next process step when authorized by the host
• Provides an electrical interface to connect barcode readers or RF antennas for the acquisition of product serial numbers
• Ensures 100% read rate of serialized products at each required scan point
• Ensures products follow all specified route steps, and in the correct sequence
• Disables production in the case of a process deviation or machine setup error
• Easily integrates and communicates with Microscan TTC middleware or third party software
