Intelligent controllers, indicators ease set-up
Economically-priced and user-friendly digital controllers and indicators deliver precise measurement for automation applications using AC- and DC-LVDT inputs.
It features programmable input averaging and digital filtering and HI/LO limit detection for "Go/No-Go" gaging applications for in process gaging, quality control and product sorting.
A standard RS-232 communications port works with laptops, data loggers, PLCs and computers.
Units offer as standard, four 5 Amp Form A relays that are selectable using the scrolling text menus or the in controller software interface.
Macro Sensors offers its digital controllers and indicators in both AC- and DC-versions.
The DMC-D2-811 Dual Channel DC-LVDT Controller Scrolling Meter operates from 115-240 V AC or 18-24V DC and provides proper voltage for operating any standard DC-LVDT.
Its DC LVDT input module is designed to drive the signals for two DC-LVDT transducers.
Powered from 24VDC or 120 - 240V AC, the DMC-A2-811 Dual Channel AC-LVDT Controller provides signal conditioning for two AC-LVDTs encompassing the same operating and control features as it's DC counterpart.
Both DMC Controllers incorporate provisions that supply the proper voltage for operating LVDTs and a scalable analog output to feed external instrumentation, recording or control devices.
DMC Dual Channel LVDT Controllers have six independently programmable set points with eight selectable functions.
Offering a six-digit readout, units provide a bright 0.56" (mm) high LED vivid front-panel digital display of measured values.
Economically priced at about one-third lower than competitive units, the DMC Dual Channel LVDT Controllers Units can be fitted on a testing station panel, control cabinets or OEM equipment.
An optional Ethernet network capability supports multi-channel applications by permitting the interface of multiple units within an automation system.
