RT 681 Test Stand for Level / Pressure Control Show data sheet (pdf file) Print page
Technical Description
This high quality test stand enables to perform complex experiments on a multivariable system often used in practice. In this particular case, a vacuum degassing model is used as an example of an interacting two-variable control system. Vacuum and level are the two variables to be controlled in a process tank. Pressure and level are interdependent variables.
The system has a closed water circuit. The vacuum is generated by a waterjet pump with its own water circuit. Two pneumatic control valves control vacuum generation and discharge from the tank. The test stand contains high quality instrumentation. The controllers have a Profibus DP interface. This interface allows the test stand to be monitored by optional process control software RT 650.60. This software can also be used to record process variables and to tune controller parameters via PC.
