I. GENERAL INFORMATION
The control unit uses position feedback information provided by the position sensor installed within a
PFC cylinder to direct its output action(s). The position sensor is basically a linear potentiometer. When a
DC potential is applied, a voltage relative to piston position is created. This voltage provides the neces-
sary information for system operation.
There are six different controllers available (see FIGURE 1). Each controller offers two similar relay out-
puts whose on/off points are adjustable to meet different application needs. Also, each of the controllers
provides a specific scalable analog output. Each of the controller's actions are discussed in greater detail
later in this manual.
II. RELAY OPERATION
Each control unit is equipped with two adjustable outputs that function as adjustable limit switches. If
more than two outputs are needed, as many as three units may be slaved off of one master unit.
