PICO Nexus Controller








PICO Nexus Controller
The PICO® Nexµs™ controller is a compact, Smart Factory / Industry 4.0 ready solution engineered to control and monitor the fluid jetting functions of your PICO Pµlse® XP jet valves. Using standard 24V, DIN-rail mounted plug-and-play technology, the PICO Nexµs saves valuable production space — especially when multiple valves are required — because it mounts inside your existing machine cabinet. The controller uses standard Industrial Ethernet protocols to communicate with your programmable logic controller (PLC) or other plant controllers, improving programming efficiency. It is engineered to connect, control, and monitor our PICO Pµlse XP jetting valve through a human machine interface at the point of dispense. In addition, the PICO Nexµs controller’s intuitive web-based interface allows you to program and monitor fluid dispensing functions remotely from a personal computer, saving engineers from walking back and forth to production thus improving productivity.
