RKC Instrument announces new digital indicator

RKC Instrument announces the new AG500 microprocessor-based digital indicator in a panel saving 60mm depth 1/8 DIN case. The

21mm high LED readout has a luminance double that of conventional indicators and the easy-to-read five digit display. The

options available for the AG500 include universal input types, up to six programmable alarms, analog retransmission, digital

input, 12 or 24 V DC sensor power supply and RS-485 or MODBUS-RTU communications. With digital communications, the indicator

can be used in conjunction with a PC or PLC; with the analog retransmission output, it can be used with a chart recorder or

data acquisition system. In addition to the process high and low alarms, alarming standards of the AG500 include a latch

function, an alarm timer delay, and hold action. The alarm status can be checked easily with alternate displays of process

value (PV) and alarm number. The AG500 memorizes the maximum and minimum measured values. An optional contact input enables

you to remotely reset the value. Each unit carries a full three-year warranty. Suitable applications include plastics and

packaging machines, ovens, furnaces, kilns, textile dyeing, food baking, petro chemical, semiconductor, test stands,

environmental chambers and other heater processes.
