Stay in control with ADA
™
Atronix Distributed Architecture—
Easy to install and use. Easy to save costs.
ADA offers efficiency, flexibility, and intelligent design.
Atronix Distributed Architecture (ADATM) represents a new approach to system control,
design, installation, and commissioning. Instead of using the traditional central control
panel that consumes valuable floor space, ADA’s patent-pending modular solution distributes
the controls where they’re needed, eliminating long
runs of wiring and the infrastructure that comes with it.
That means less manpower, less complexity, and fewer
materials, saving our clients up to 40 percent on
installation. The savings continue after installation,
too—ADA is easier to maintain and expand than any
controls solution on the market.
ADA’s modular design offers you more
flexibility—and more cost savings

Better control. Less money.
Save up to 40% on installation time and materials.
Choosing ADA for your next project can keep you under budget and ahead of schedule.
• Modular, intelligent, and flexible design means ADA adapts to your needs.
• Design uniformity saves engineering time and eliminates complexity.
• Compact size and modular design allows installation to begin earlier—while sections of
mechanical installation are still being completed, or even on a running system
for the shortest downtime possible.
• Phased installation is possible with no need for
temporary controls. Decommissioned ADA
modules usually can be re-purposed, protecting
your investment.
• Plug-and-play technology and simple setup mean
many components can be installed by your
technicians instead of by higher-priced, out-sourced electricians.
• Decentralized control means less wiring, less conduit, and fewer man-hours for installation.
Save on maintenance and expansion costs.
• High-voltage components are separate from low-voltage, so I/O maintenance and
troubleshooting can be done without arc flash protection equipment.
• ADA’s connectorizaton allows your technicians to make most changes without having to
terminate a single wire. These field connectors have LEDs that indicate whether a device is
on or off. No more walking back to the main panel to troubleshoot.
• Expansion can be as simple as plugging a device
into a spare port. When all ports are full, simply
add another ADA panel.
• Distributed power and networking architecture
mean changes can be made to the system without
shutting down the entire line.
• ADA module panels are manufactured to UL certification standards.
ADA’s design makes your facility more efficient.
With ADA, control components and motor control are mounted on or near conveyors.
Here is how it works:
• A power distribution panel or panels carry 480V power to groups of ADA modules.
• Power is connected in a daisy chain between ADA modules up to a total of 30 amps, greatly
reducing the power distribution home runs and expensive conduit and wiring typically used.
• A control module contains the PLC, which communicates with other ADA modules
(typically via Ethernet).
• A typical design puts ADA modules no more than 50 feet from your I/O and
motor connections.
• ADA modules are compact and flexible, so they can be mounted where they
are needed without affecting the system layout.

Atronix Distributed Architecture—
New thinking for conveyor control hardware.
ADA represents a new method of system
control, using proven components and
reliable technology. The compact size and
modularity of our patent-pending solution
allows it to become a part of the system
itself. ADA grows with you. Expanding
your facility is simpler, faster, and
cost-effective with ADA design.
Standard protocol is used for all ADA
panels, reducing the engineering of a
system to configuration rather than
design. The ADA system we build for
you already has been deployed and
tested many times, allowing us to
focus on the finer details to meet
your specific needs. Most of your engineering work is complete
before we receive your order, so we can deliver the highest quality
system with the shortest lead times in the industry.
ADA minimizes your installation costs and time. It streamlines the
commissioning process, simplifies diagnostics, adapts to change,
and keeps your personnel safer. It will reduce your overall cost
of ownership, saving you time and money, now and in the future.
