EtherNet/IP & DeviceNet Added to Controllers & Meters
Description
New industrial automation protocols enable integration of Alicat instruments with PLCs running EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet.
Real-time data can be read centrally by the PLC and used to manage Alicat controllers and meters. Users may change setpoint or gas selection, and issue other commands to instruments using a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP enabled PLC or computer.
With response times as low as 100 ms, controllers rapidly and precisely monitor and control critical process parameters in chemical, medical, manufacturing and power industries.
Specs
Following real-time data can be read centrally by the PLC:
- mass flow
- volumetric flow
- pressure
- temperature
- selected gas calibration
- setpoint
- totalized flow of gases
