DESCRIPTION
The PSC is a setpoint controller suitable for time vs. process control
applications. The PSC Controller accepts either a 0 to 10 VDC or a 4 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
or linear) to maintain a process at the desired control point. A comprehensive set
of easy to use steps allows the controller to satisfy various applications. The user
input can be programmed to perform a variety of controller functions.
Dual 4-digit displays allow viewing of the measured process value and
setpoint or the process and profile status simultaneously. Front panel indicators
inform the operator of controller status and output states. Replaceable output
modules (Relay, logic/SSR drive or Triac) can be fitted to the main control
output, alarm output(s) or timed event output(s), and secondary output.
The PSC has been designed to simplify the set-up and operation of a
controlled setpoint profile program. The setpoint program is easily entered and
controlled through the front panel. Full display capabilities keep the operator
informed of the process value, profile status, output states, and setpoint value.
The controller can operate in the standard PID control mode for both Output
1 and Output 2 with on-demand auto-tune which establishes the PID gain set.
The PID gain set can be fine tuned by the operator at any time or may be locked
from further modification. The unit can be transferred to the manual control
mode providing the operator with direct control of the output.
The PSC features four programs or profile recipes, each with up to eight
ramp/soak segments, which can be easily stored and executed at any time.
Longer profiles can be achieved by linking one or more profiles together,
creating a single profile of up to 32 ramp/soak segments. Process profile
conformity is assured during either soak (hold) phases or both ramp and hold
phases by an adjustable error band parameter. The program repeat function
cycles the profile either continuously or a set number of times. Power-on options
automatically re-start, stop, or resume a running profile. The profile can be
controlled via the front panel buttons, the user input, or the optional serial
communications port.
