Abstract

A new dual loop controller using color LCD bar graphs with LED back lights has been developed. An optional memory card is used to load or save the controller configuration, which may be a preprogrammed standard package or a user-programmed configuration, in addition to the built-in functions ready for user selection. The bar-graph display is selectable for single-loop or dual-loop use. A high grade of self-tuning functions using a modeling technique is built-in as standard. The controller can accommodate optional plug-in modules for thermocouples, communication, etc. All the options are fully field upgradable.
