Multi-channel controller has increased functionality

The CMC-141 controller is designed for the simultaneous measurement and control of a variety of process engineering applications. According to the company, it provides new channels, new counter inputs and additional flow meter and rate meter inputs compared to its predecessor, the CMC-99. "Another added value feature of the CMC-141 is that it comes with JAVA applets, which can be embedded into any website or HTML-based web page, allowing users to remotely access real time data from the controller via the Ethernet interface and a web browser," said Sam Drury, sales and marketing director at Impress. According to Drury, the CMC-141 can simultaneously record all channel data at a maximum speed of 10Hz. The unit also provides up to 1.5GB of internal data memory, which is sufficient to continuously save data from all input channels at a speed of one sample per second for more than two months (125,000,000 samples in total). The operator can download saved data using a USB flash memory disk or remotely via Ethernet. The CMC-141 provides three card slots on the reverse of the controller, each comprising 24 I/O pin options, which enable the user to choose any combination of inputs and outputs to suit the application. The unit also incorporates a 24V DC digital input, enabling relays and triggers to be set up.
