ABB Automation Technologies has supplied 12 ControlIT C351 single loop process controllers to Belgian chemical company Tessenderlo Chemie NV, to control six ovens in a continuous sulphate process
Plugging into the parallel port, this VIPod has a voltage resolution of 0.5 microvolts.
This allows, for example, a type J thermocouple to detect changes of 1/100th of a degree Celsius.
The VIPod has its own CJC sensor or can take a CJC signal from a remote source.
Up to 4 VIPods can be connected together to measure 24 temperatures or V101/Ts and other VIPod types can be connected to form a measurement and control system.
All channels can be calibrated from the PC.
The VIPS software provided can display the temperatures as a chart, list or as digital panel meters.
Also available for display is the temperature measured by the CJC and the voltage measurement before conversion to temperature.
These signals can be used in the teaching of the principles of thermocouple measurements.
DLL drivers are provided to allow use of the VIPod from other software.
At GBP150, the low cost VIPod101/T is a universal instrument that can measure temperature using any of 8 types of thermocouple over their complete ranges.
Used with a portable PC, the VIPod101/T could be used to test any thermocouple output anywhere in a plant.
