PMA KS 90-1 Process controller
The industrial and process controller PMA KS 90-1 is suitable for precise and cost-effective control tasks in all areas of industry. You can choose between simple on/off control, PID control and motor step control. The actual value signal is connected via a universal input. The second analog input is used for heating current measurement, as an external setpoint input or as position feedback from motor step controllers.
The optional third input serves as a universal input for a variety of functions, such as temperature-dependent setpoint correction or differential control.
O² measurement and control
The PMA KS 90-1 and PMA KS 92-1 can be used as standard for oxygen control with heated and unheated O² probes. The display range is 0.001 ppm…100% O². The unit (ppm / %) is shown automatically in the four-digit display. The O² concentration is calculated from the high-resistance (>200M) recorded probe voltage (INP1) and the probe temperature (INP3) according to Nernst’s equation, displayed and controlled as required. For heated probes, the reference temperature is entered as a constant.
A filter <999.9s can be set to stabilize the O² display. The calibration supports the input of correction values (offset or two-point) in ppm or %O².
PMA KS90-1 Display and operation
The Day & Night display is characterized by particularly high contrast in both dark and bright surroundings. The status fields reliably display operating statuses, operating mode and error messages and the plain text display presents various process values numerically or as a bar graph.
Outputs
Each PMA KS90-1 has four process outputs: either relays or up to two universal outputs, which can be configured to control solid state relays, as continuous outputs with current or voltage or as transmitter supply. Two freely usable optocoupler outputs are available as an option.
Interface and engineering tool
Settings can be made via the front panel as well as via the Blue-Port® front interface and the BlueControl® software.
