KS 98-1 and KS Vario Multi-Controller Systems
The KS 98-1 features a high-resolution LCD display capable of showing plain text lines, bar graphs, or trend curves. It includes a comprehensive function library for analog and digital signal operations, cascade control systems, and complex control loops. The system supports multiple analog and digital inputs and outputs, and can connect directly to lambda sensors or field bus systems.
Engineering Tools
The KS 98-1 is equipped with simulation, self-optimization, and PID optimization processes, enhancing user-friendliness. It supports field bus connections like Profibus DP, allowing for distributed operation and indication.
KS Vario Multi-Controller System
Specifically developed for temperature control, this system includes a controller module and a field bus coupler. It can be expanded up to 30 control loops with additional I/O modules, supporting up to 60 analog outputs, 34 analog inputs, and 320 digital inputs or outputs per bus coupler.
BlueControl® Engineering Tool
This tool facilitates easy parameter and signal configuration of PMA controllers via a PC. It includes a set-up wizard and allows for simulation of processes under realistic conditions. BlueControl® supports both on-site commissioning and centralized remote configuration.
PMATune Optimization Tool
PMATune determines reliable controller parameters quickly, focusing on robust and reliable control without overshoot or continuous oscillation. It is integrated into KS 98-1 and KS 108, allowing for parameter determination without an external laptop.
Additional Features
The KS 800 multi-controller can handle 8 zones simultaneously and is configurable as various types of controllers. It supports functions like "Setpoint Reduction" and "Heating/Cooling with Four Alarms," making it suitable for thermal processes in various machines.
