LCD’s are best suited for installation in areas where there is
reasonably good lighting. They are superior to most other
display types when viewed in very bright ambient light, such as
direct sunlight.
SPECIFYING A RATE
INDICATOR/CONTROLLER
The selection of an LED or LCD display is dictated by the
amount of ambient light in the area. LCD’s are better suited to
sunlit environments while LED’s work well in dimly lit areas.
LCD displays usually come in smaller package sizes and are
often chosen when space constraints are present. Also, LCD
products can be battery powered. With either display type, be
sure the device has enough digits to be able to display the
maximum value that may occur.
For process requirements that go beyond a visual display, rate
or draw controllers should be specified. The need for warnin
lights or machine shutdown during out-of-tolerance conditions
can be met with alarm setpoints and alarm outputs. Factors to
consider when specifying alarms are their number and whether
they reset automatically or manually.
Finally, other convenience features should be considered.
Setup and calibration methods can vary from switch setting to
keyboard programming. An accessory power supply may be
needed to power sensing devices or alarm relays. A communi-
cations link to logic controllers or computers may be required in
a system design or included for future needs.

DATA COMMUNICATIONS
There is an increasing need for rate and timer controllers that
can communicate with printers, computers or other electronic
systems. Such devices provide a serial communications port
which allow remote access to rate or timer data or alarm
values. With this feature, the data can be included on printed
forms or receipts, or made available to management informa-
tion or process control systems.
There are two forms of serial data communications interfaces
offered:
■ RS-232 – Is intended for connection to a simple paper-tape,
■ RS-422/485 – Allows communication between multiple
ELECTRONIC INPUT SIGNALS
Rate indicators need a signal which represents the process
being measured. Draw indicators operate with one signal from
each part of the application. Timers can work with a single
input or, in some cases, a pair of signals. In cases where there
is no signal available on the machine a suitable sensor will
have to be added. We offer several types of sensors for
different application requirements:
or multi-copy form printer. May also be used to communicate
with nearby programmable logic controllers (PLC), or other
system component. The distance between the external
device and the indicator/controller should be limited to 50
feet.
controllers and another system over a single bus. Operating
distances of up to a mile can be maintained – even in severe
industrial environments. Data collection and control tasks
can be distributed between a computer, or PLC, and the
motion controls.
