ADAPTIVE CONTROL
21 September 2012
The Unitronics Vision1040 industrial adaptive controller, available from Alldrives & Controls
enables manufacturers and system integrators to add a 10.4in 65K SVGA colour touch-screen equipped with 9 programmable function key display, and full PLC functionality with 24 auto-tuned PID loops, open loop stepper/motor control, screen displays, data, colour trend graphs, and attention-grabbing alarm screens.
Features of the Vision1040 include 1024 I/O options, a USB programming port, data logging, and built-in recipe capability, as well as reduced programming time and minimum wiring.
The controller is fast – scanning 1K of a typical application in 9 μsec – making it a natural choice for ‘rapid response’ applications such as packaging machines
