1. INTRODUCTION
A9696 Big Digit Universal Process Controller is a real breakthrough in versatility
for holding in one single instrument for all the major features required in the vast
majority of industrial processes. With sophisticated and consistent software and its
advanced truly universal circuitry, the A9696 accepts configuration of both input signal
and control output through the front keyboard without any internal hardware change.
Power supply for remote loop powered transmitters is standard and is a must
for high-end applications. From the very simple applications as a temperature
controller to the most complex systems of distributed control with PLC’s or SCADA
networks, the A9696 is the right answer to your needs for industrial or laboratory
automation.
