The PCU
Controller accepts either 0 to 10 VDC or a 0 to 20 mA DC
input signal,
precisely scales the process signal according to
programmable scaling points,
and provides an accurate output control signal (time
proportional, linear, or
valve position) to maintain a process at the desired
control point. A comprehensive
set of easy to use program instructions allows the
controller to solve
various applications.
The
controller can operate in the PID control mode for both
the main output and
optional secondary output, with on-demand auto-tune,
that establishes the tuning
constants. The PID tuning constants may be fine-tuned by
the operator at any
time and then locked-out from further modification. The
controller employs a
unique overshoot suppression feature, which allows the
quickest response
without excessive overshoot. The unit can be transferred
to operate in the
manual mode, providing the operator with direct control
of the output. The controller
may also be programmed to operate in the ON/OFF control
mode with adjustable
hysteresis.
Dual 4-digit
displays allow viewing of the process value and setpoint
simultaneously. Front panel
indicators inform the operator of the controller and
output status. Replaceable
and interchangeable output modules (Relay, Logic/SSR
Drive, or Triac) can be installed for the main control
output, alarm output(s)
and secondary output. |
