Dynisco ATC990
Process Controller Description
1/4 DIN Auto-Tuning Control
and Display of Process or The ATC990 with a graphical/text LCD display is a universal input
process controller with advanced functionality including Trend views
Differential Pressure
as well as Digital Inputs, USB and data logging options. It provides
a cost-effective way to control a single process parameter, such as
for a plastics extruder. Designed to improve user efficiency many
features are integrated to reduce commissioning time, simplify
operation and minimize maintenance downtime. Reliably auto-tune
and alarm on strain gauge, DC voltage, temperature or current
inputs. The ATC990 can also control differential pressure when an
optional secondary strain gauge input is used. Other useful display
information includes alarm set points, peak values, error conditions,
and engineering unit beacons. The controller provides a quick and
easy set-up which includes a step by step configuration wizard
which starts automatically on the first start up. An optional 24Vdc
output supply is also available.
