Electropneumatic Controllers/Motors Description The ER5000 Series (the latest generation of TESCOM electronic controllers) is a microprocessor based PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller that brings precise algorithmic pressure control to a wide range of applications. It can be used as a standalone unit to control the pressure of clean, dry inert gases from 0-100 psig / 0-6.9 bar, or be connected to any pneumatically actuated regulator or valve. Used with TESCOM regulators, the ER5000 provides pressure control of gases and liquids from vacuum to 30,000 psig / 2068 bar, with a Cv of up to 12+. Whether piloting a mechanical regulator or used standalone, it provides for true closed loop control with exceptional accuracy and response time. The ER5050 is designed for Hazardous Location use.

ER5000 Typical Applications The variety of applications is limitless. Any process variable that can be manipulated using the pneumatic output of the ER5000 can be controlled. Some possibilities include controlling pressure, flow, temperature, position, speed, force, consistency, torque, and acceleration. The ER5000 improves both speed and accuracy because it implements the control strategy directly at the control element (valve or regulator). Some possible applications include: • Tire molding • Chromatography capillary inlet pressure • Spray coating • Water jet cutting • Burst testing •...
