Touchscreen PCL Controller

Chart offers a touchscreen PLC standard on all test chamber models. The touchscreen PLC controller makes controlling your test chamber easier than ever. Whether you are performing a thermal only profile or thermal with vibration, the Chart touchscreen PLC controls all functions in one controller. The new controller is faster, more flexible and more expandable than traditional methods of controlling test chamber functions.

The Chart PLC is capable of networking to other chambers and can be controlled remotely. In addition to controlling chamber functions, the PLC controller serves as a test and data acquisition system. Profiles can be viewed and modified on the easy-to-read color display. A standard menu bar appears at the bottom of the screen, reducing the number of keystrokes needed for common functions. The informative, context-sensitive help button allows the user to gain immediate access to information, without having to search for the user manual.

Another benefit of the touchscreen PLC controller is the ability to track and troubleshoot the performance of the chamber. The touchscreen has a Run-time data screen. This feature allows tracking elapsed time for various components including; motors, hammers and heater banks. The system also offers preventive maintenance forecasts and valuable troubleshooting information. The I/O (Input/Output) monitor menu lists the status of all inputs and outputs associated with the chamber configuration. At a glance, operators and service technicians are able to see the current status of the chamber and what needs to be adjusted to achieve the desired result.
