A control system for a concrete plant adds intelligent capabilities in the concrete plant that may enhance safety, localize control of the concrete plant, and assist with troubleshooting. The control system may also enhance accuracy for determining an amount of mixed concrete dispensed, or amounts of concrete ingredients to dispense, and may eliminate the need for equipment used to verify the amount of mixed concrete or concrete ingredients dispensed.

A multiplexer includes a body having a mechanism, incorporated into the body, for receiving more than one incoming data stream and converting the more than one data stream into a single output stream. An integral time clock is incorporated into the body and is adapted to incrementally time stamp each incoming data stream. The processor on the device also runs software to parse user selected data streams for the purpose of filtering out unnecessary data from the incoming streams, thereby reducing the volume of data and, in particular unwanted data, from being processed and/or logged from the device. The integration of a multimeter for voltage and amperage reading acquisition also reduces the need for external peripheral devices being attached to the device.
