PLC Drier Control Panel
The Perry PLC Drier Control Panel is an advanced piece of technology that gives the drier operator a clear, visual representation of the drier along with offering advanced diagnostic capabilities & remote control, when the panel is connected to the internet.
The Perry PLC Drier Control Panel comes as standard with both the Perry Savannah Series Continuous Mix Flow Driers & the Perry Belt Drier. The difference between the two panels being the visual representation of the drier & products available in the crop set-up pages.
The PLC Drier Control Panel can be upgraded to become a full PLC Plant Control Panel , which will allow the control panel to control your entire plant, including machines by other manufacturers.

Automatic Grain Moisture Control System
The Perry drier auto discharge control system included within the panel operates using a list of user-adjustable parameters to enable each drier to be tuned to the customer’s needs. These include the sensitivity, rate of sampling and target hot grain temperatures. The system uses the wet grain and dry grain temperature either individually or as a combination of the two to control the speed of the drier and to maintain the grain moisture content. This makes it one of the leading methods of control on the market today.
* Panel must be connected to the internet with a static IP address and port forwarding facility, no app currently available for Windows devices.
Diagnostics
The drier history is recorded – input and output screens display current panel conditions to aid fault diagnostics. When the Perry drier is connected to the internet, diagnostics and status reports can be sent directly to a smart phone via email or text message.
