Controllers for Batch, Continuous Process, PID and More
NEW FM LIMIT CONTROLLER Yokogawa's newest addition to the UTAdvanced family is the UT35A-L limit controller. The 1/4 DIN-sized limit controller is FM-approved, and is ideal for oven, furnace and kiln applications. The UT35A-L comes standard with universal input, three alarm outputs and retransmission output. RS485 and Ethernet communications are available as options.

CONTROL LOOPS FOR FUN AND PROFIT ProfitLoop is Honeywell's patented predictive single-input/single-output control algorithm that runs natively in Experion C300, C200 and C200E controllers and in the supervisory ACE node. It is the only model-based control executed in an embedded controller. Only one parameter is used to set the response speed, meaning operators can retune the loop online, eliminating lost time and expense.

RAMP/SOAK CONTROL Red Lion Controls' Modular Controller series PID modules now support ramp/soak control, enabling users to integrate multi-segment temperature profiling for complex processes in the autoclave, heat-treating, food and chemical industries. Advanced modes are available for critical control requirements, such as guaranteed soak times and ramp rates. Red Lion Controls Inc. 717/767-6511 www.redlion.net/
DUAL-LOOP PID CONTROLLER Adam-6022 is an Ethernet-enabled, dual-loop PID controller for general-purpose PID control applications. User-friendly utility software is included for users to set PID parameters (Pv, Mv, & Sv). Through the integrated web page, users can monitor and change the control setpoint via a web browser. Adam-6022 also supports Modbus/TCP protocol. HMI software can easily access this module to monitor the I/O data, and change the control parameters. Advantech 800/205-7946 www.advantech.com/ea
SAVE ON TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS Solo process/temperature controllers are simple, flexible process tools. Available in four standard DIN sizes, starting at $89, each unit is equipped with a dual, four-digit, seven-segment display, and offers dual-output control. The built-in autotune function with PID control feature allows for fast and easy startups. Flexible control modes include PID, ramp/soak, on/off and manual operation.

PID CONTROLLER FOR BATCH AND CONTINUOUS PROCESSES The universal 535 ¼-DIN, single-loop, PID process controller programs monitor and control temperature, pressure, level, flow and other analog variables for batch and continuous processes. Available models provide an isolated analog (4-20 mA or 0-20 mA) control signal output. Optional RS-485 communications allow interface with digital-communicating DCS-, PLC- and PC-based SCADA systems Moore Industries International (818) 894-7111 www.miinet.com/
