Aerocom AC 3000 System |
|
| The AC 3000 Premium is managed by a completely new development
in computer intelligence through advanced microprocessor controls. Up to
32 independently operating zones with a maximum of over 500 stations may
be interconnected and are controlled by a Centralized Control Unit. Functions
such as priority sending, off-site service through a modem connection, automatic
forwarding when stations close translate into quality benefits for the customer. |

System Description
| Max. number
of stations: |
254 stations with 65000 destinations |
| Max. number of zones: |
32 (64) |
| Arrival signals per station: |
16 |
| Diverters: |
2-way, 3-way, for OD 110 also 4-way |
| Mode of operation: |
Fully automatic multi-zone-system
- reversing operation |
|
|
| Example single zone configuration |
In this system, independant to the stage of operation, at any station
a carrier can be stored. Inserted into the station, a carrier will be always
transported by the direct way to it's destination. After one sending process
has been finished, the next carrier can start. All station- and diverter
types can be mixed up in one zone.
|
| Example Multi zone configuration |
In difference to a single zone system, the shown system layout can be
divided into various independant working zones. Our system AC 3000 allows,
to divide into up to 32 (64) zones. These zones are connected together by
a transfer system. Inside this transfer area the carriers are stored in
so-called waiting lines. They continue their way immediately, when the receiving
zone is free. If the receiving zone is already free (standard case), the
carrier continues it's way immediately. Because each zone has it's independant
air supply, in each zone a transmission can take place at the same time.
Through dividing a system into multi zone configuration, in relation to
the number of zones, an increasing amount of carriers can be transported
at the same time. Through this, the performance per hour of the complete
system will increase tremendously. For example, in the system shown on the
left side, 10 carriers can be transported at the same time.
|
| Example - Universal network of a multi zone system |
As an additional possibility of extension, the separate zones of a system
can be connected by a universal network. This means, that the transfers
between separate zones is not only done by the main-transfer-area, but there
is the possibility of various interchanges Through this, basically the shortest
route is assigned to a carrier. This means again a faster transfer procedure
and an additional increase of the system performance.
