Yokogawa has enhanced its YS1000 series single loop controllers with a new TFT LCD with improved display characteristics and a design that facilitates easy maintenance.
Single loop controllers are used in a wide variety of industrial facilities such as power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, and iron and steel plants. These controllers receive temperature, flow rate, pressure, and other measurement readings from sensors. They send corresponding instructions to control elements such as valves to maintain these values within a desired range. Each control loop has its own controller. Single loop controllers are widely used in industry often used to control small plant facilities and back up distributed control systems.
