COMMANDER Universal Process Controller Specification DataFile PID controller with one shot autotune single loop, heat/cool and ramp/soak as standard Quick code, front face or PC configuration easy commissioning and operation using our Windows -based software Universal process input with transmitter power supply direct connection for any process signal Hoseproof front panel and full noise immunity reliability in the harshest environments RS85/MODBUS serial communications SCADA, PLC and open systems integration COMMANDER the-easy-to use /8 DIN controller with extensive application capabilities ABB Instrumentation
COMMANDER The COMMANDER Universal Process controller is a highly versatile, single loop controller designed to be exceptionally easy to operate and set up. Universal input and integral transmitter power supply ensure that the COMMANDER has the capabilities to measure a wide range of process signals such as temperature, pressure, flow and level. Analog, logic and relay control outputs are all fitted as standard, with the option to add further i/o capabilities such as additional relays, remote set point and digital input, to suit your application. The configuration of the COMMANDER is simply achieved by moving the security switch and entering a simple code from the front panel keys. No passwords, no input links, no complications. With hoseproof front panel protection and superior RF immunity as standard the COMMANDER has been designed to control reliably in the harshest of today s industrial environments.

PID Control Simple PID control is available using any of the unit s three built-in outputs. ma analog Logic 8V time proportioning (to drive solid state relays) 5A relay for Time proportioning or On/Off control Heat/Cool Heat/Cool control strategies may be implemented on the standard COMMANDER, using a combination of the analog, logic and relay outputs. SP Ramp/Soak Set Point Profiles The ramp/soak facility available on every COMMANDER provides for a single program, four-segment profile. This facility also includes guaranteed ramp/soak, repeat program, skip and reset. t SP PV SP Master/Slave and Cascade Two or more COMMANDER s can be used in master/slave, or cascade, configuration with the addition of the remote set point option to the basic unit. PV OP RS85/MODBUS Fitted with an optional RS85 serial communication board, the COMMANDER can communicate with PLCs and SCADA systems using the MODBUS protocol.
