The controller's field installable plug-in option cards simplify configuration by enabling users to use different cards seamlessly to build their own controllers. This eliminates the need to order additional products to meet changing application requirements. A dual-line tri-color display provides at-a-glance visual representation of up to 16 changing alarm conditions with seven programmable color zones. The display is customizable to allow users full access to bar graphs, annunciators, color zones and display mnemonics. The unit accepts current, voltage, resistance, temperature and process signals, and operates on AC or DC power regardless of power polarity. Programming firmware and software upgrades are done using a standard built-in USB connector and the company's Crimson software to support both current needs and future requirements. Suggested applications include food & beverage, plastics, packaging, energy, gas, heat treating and glass processing.
