This section describes the development requirements for the TGW CRUZcontrol logic module to be
used with NBC. The new modules will be a complete solution that controls product flow through either
“basic” and “progressive” accumulation with single or slug release. “Basic” accumulation may also be
described as single accumulate where product detection in two consecutive zones will cause the
upstream zone to accumulate. “Progressive” accumulation is also known as slug accumulate, which
stops flow at the furthest downstream zone when product is detected.
A CRUZcontrol module will be mounted at each conveyor zone and connected in series with the
neighboring upstream and downstream zones. The CRUZcontrol module will be comprised of a retro-
reflective sensor, logic module with integrated pneumatic valve, and daisy chain connections. The
retro-reflective sensor attached to the CRUZcontrol module will be located in the same zone (local
zone) as the CRUZcontrol module and the valve will control the local zone.
