The latest line-up includes four new models which are highly powerful and intuitive and is very east to operate. Its comprehensive portfolio of capabilities makes it ideal for a wide spectrum of industries. ControlMaster’s flexible I/O capabilities simplify model selection. Each ControlMaster model can be scaled suiting basic to advanced application requirements by adding plug-and-play function keys.

The new ControlMaster elevates process control and monitoring to a higher level.

The full-color thin-film-transistor (“TFT”) liquid crystal display of ControlMaster provides unsurpassed ease of use and it shows process information. Operator prompts and menus display in full text. ControlMaster’s formats include historical trending and dual-loop displays.

A sampling of the functionality in the controller includes totalization, dead-time compensation, delay timers, problem-solving diagnostics, cascade, ratio control and feedforward, predictive, adaptive and dual-loop control.

The latest units offer flexible communications: Modbus, Profibus and Ethernet protocols. Enclosures provide NEMA4X and IP66 environmental protection.
