INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description

This device can be purchased as monitor (read process value only) or as

acontroller.

•The i Series Strain and Process controllers can measure a wide variety of DC voltage and current inputs for all common load cells, pressure transducers and strain gauge type of transducer. It offers unparalleled flexibility in process control. The voltage /current inputs are fully scaleable to virtually all engineering units, with selectable decimal point, perfect for use with pressure, flow or other process input.

•The process control can be achieved by using on/off or PID control strategy. Control can be optimized with an Auto Tune feature. The controller offers a ramp to set point with timed soak period before switching off the output.

•The i Series controller features a large, three color programmable display with capability to change a color every time when Alarm is triggered. The standard features include dual outputs with relay, SSR, DC pulse, analog voltage or current, built-in excitation for transducers, selectable as

10V @ 60 mA or 5 V @ 40 mA. Analog output is fully scaleable and may be configured as a proportional controller or retransmission to follow your display. Universal power supply accepts 90 to 240. Low voltage power option accepts 24 Vac or 12 to 36 Vdc.

•Options include programmable RS-232 or RS-485 serial communication and ethernet with an embedded web server.
