US1000 Digital Indicating Controller (DISCONTINUED)

Many industrial plants have embedded the PID controls for flow, temperature, pressure, level, etc. in PLC's on the plant floor. In the event of a PLC failure, the control to these critical loops may be lost. The US1000-11 may be configured to act as an automatic backup station and operator interface if PLC service has failed.

The US1000-11 Dual Loop Digital Indicating Controller can easily be implemented as a three element boiler drum level/feed water controller. Steam drum level control is necessary to add makeup water as steam is delivered into the header pipe. The level measurement and feed water flow input are the process variables (PV) for a cascade control strategy.

Chemical addition to a flowing liquid stream is an excellent control application for the US1000-00 Digital Loop Controller. In both water and waste water treatment, chlorine is added as a disinfectant. A residual chlorine analyzer provides the process variable to a closed loop PID controller.

The US1000-11 Digital Indicating Controller can be programmed to provide two functions, as a heat exchanger temperature controller and a BTU calculator. Why perform both functions? The temperature control is used to maintain a constant product temperature on the discharge side of the heat exchanger.

Yokogawa's US1000-11 Digital Indicating Controller is the newest member of the Measurement & Control Division family of industrial and process controllers. One application that can easily be implemented is a reactor cascade control, using product and steam jacket temperatures as the process variables (PV's).

A long time has passed since the word "downsizing" was first coined. In the field of instrumentation, total cost reduction is continually being sought, with this trend becoming even more accelerated as a result of the present economic recession.
