Digital Control Systems Launches the New Model 90
PID Controller
The newest PID controller from Digital Control Systems. An ideal
control for OEM Equipment Manufacturers servicing the global marketplace.
The Model works from 80 - 280 VAC without modification, and can accept
multiple inputs, including RTD probes, and thermocouples.
(PRWEB) May 18, 2005 -- Ideal for Equipment Manufacturers the Digital
Control Systems, Inc. Model 90 PID Controller is the latest evolution in
the Multistat series of temperature controls. Designed for the global
equipment market, the Model 90 PID Controller can operate from direct or
alternating current power mains from 80 to 280 volts, so it can be used
anywhere in the world without modification or adjustment. “We developed
the Model 90 in response to our customers who sell to the international
market and who had to juggle the logistics involved with the various
voltage requirements around the world -- in addition to flexible load and
voltage requirements, the Model 90 is robust and reliable,” said Mike
Mueller, President and founder of Digital Control Systems,
Inc.
This single-channel PID controller will accurately control
single electrical loads of up to 15 Amps. All of the Model 90 control
electronics and the user interface are built on a compact (13.5 x 6 cm)
circuit board for easy mounting and integration into medical, laboratory,
and industrial equipment. Large bright LED digits make the display easy to
read from across the room.
Recognizing the considerable safety
benefits to be gained from reducing high voltage wiring, Digital Control
Systems, Inc, designed the Model 90 to feature a second smaller power
module that can be located near the output. This eliminates the need to
run high current wiring to the front control panel. As an additional
benefit, this power module is connected to the main circuit board with a
low voltage cable. A second power module can also be added to control an
auxiliary load.
The Model 90 offers more options than similar
controls in the Multistat™ family of temperature controls. The extensive
options available for the Model 90 make it easy for equipment
manufacturers to differentiate similar products. Options such as an
audible alarm, two pole alarm relay, RS-232, or a timer can be added
individually based on application requirements. The optional RS-232
interface feature enables remote operation and data logging. “Rather than
bundle all of the available features, we prefer to offer our customers
options on a one by one basis, this way they aren’t paying for features
they aren’t going to use”, adds Mike Mueller.
The Model 90
temperature controller works with a variety of inputs. For direct
temperature control the Model 90 can be used with economical IC sensors
(for operation below 100 °C), RTDs, or type ‘J’ and ‘K’ thermocouples. A
direct voltage (5 volts Max) input configuration is also available for
control of parameters measured by external sensors such as humidity or
CO2.
Digital Control Systems Inc. is based in Portland, Oregon and
has been designing and manufacturing a wide array of temperature
controllers, motor speed controls, CO2 Sensors and Custom Products since
1984. The DCS family of products includes, the AirSense CO2 Monitor,
Laboratory CO2 Sensor solutions, the Servomax DC Motor Speed Control, and
the Multistat line of Temperature Control products. Technical information
and brochures for the Model 90 and all of the Digital Control Systems
products can be accessed online at www.dcs-inc.net.
