Description

The setup is designed to understand the latest techniques adopted in process control. The concepts of hybrid controller, DCS, Network and HMI server can be well understood. Set up consists of Universal Hybrid Controller, a control panel for simulating inputs as well as connecting real time process, software package for configuring the controller and a SCADA package. The components are assembled on a standalone industrial control panel.
The Hybrid controller has logic capability and speed of traditional PLC and the regulatory features and power of DCS. The controller is designed for discrete manufacturing automation tasks, continuous regulatory process control and batch control. It consists of power supply, Controller (CPU), Discrete I/Os, Analog I/Os and Network interface modules. Easy to use Windows based Configuration software, operable over Ethernet and RS232 port simplifies controller configuration. It provides advanced monitoring functions for debug, allows run-mode configuration changes while limiting process interruption uploads.
