The 545 1/4 DIN Controller
continues with all the features and options found on the Model 535. In
addition, Powers has expanded the role the 545 can play in solving
your process control needs.
Single Loop control with
second input available to display an additional uncontrolled PV
Independent control of two PID
control loops with two control outputs available for each
Cascade Control allows the
output of one control loop to become the remote setpoint of a
second loop. Cascade control enables better control of processes
with significant lag times by breaking the process into two faster
responding loops
Ratio Control provides control
in blending applications that require materials to be mixed to a
desired ratio. Control of one stream with a wild stream or the
control of combined discharge rates is possible with the Powers
545
In Feedback Control, controller
output is based on the difference between process variable and
setpoint. Feedforward Control compensates for system lag time by
providing a predictive or anticipative output signal based on process
measurement. A feedforward signal is used to enhance the performance
of a feedback loop. The 545 provides the capability to employ a
feedforward/feedback control strategy in your process
