The Moretto ONE WIRE 3 is a centralized logic controller that manages plastic granule conveying across an entire production facility. Using a single-cable bus architecture, it connects up to 80 material receivers and 8 vacuum pump units on one expandable network trunk — eliminating the complex multi-cable wiring of conventional central conveying systems. Over 5,000 installations worldwide attest to the platform's reliability in injection molding, extrusion, and PET processing environments.

How does the single-cable bus simplify installation and expansion?

Unlike traditional conveying controls that require dedicated signal cables between each receiver, pump, and the central controller, ONE WIRE 3 uses a daisy-chain bus topology. Adding a new receiver or vacuum unit means connecting it to the nearest bus node — the system auto-configures and recognizes the new device. This reduces wiring labor and makes plant layout changes practical without re-engineering the control infrastructure. Dual-zone functionality allows two vacuum pumps connected to the same sorting station to manage separate material queues independently.

What programming and monitoring options are available?

The fixed 10" color touchscreen on the control cabinet provides full system configuration, material routing setup, and alarm management. For mobility, the Master 300 handheld PDA connects via Wi-Fi to program and control the system from any point covered by the network — useful when commissioning receivers at the machine throat. ONE WIRE 3 also integrates with Moretto's MOWIS supervisory platform for plant-wide equipment monitoring, energy tracking, and production data logging via Ethernet.
