RT 210 Process Control Rig Show data sheet (pdf file) Print page
Technical Description
The unit is used as an introduction to the subject of control technology. Temperature, flow rate and filling level control systems are used as examples to provide clear and practical fundamental information. The experimental system is controlled from the PC screen (not included in scope of supply). The supplied process control and illustration programs make it possible to carry out the experiment as well as record measurement reports and store measured data. Important process variables are shown digitally on the unit itself. All components of the unit are clearly mounted on a metal sheet. The storage and process tanks are transparent for better viewing of the process. The unit is designed as a experimental unit for tabletop use. It requires only an electrical power connection for operation.
