Ethernet-based PID controller

March 2009 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers

Advantech’s ADAM-6022 is an Ethernet-based dual-loop PID controller for general purpose PID control applications. User-friendly utility software is included for users to set parameters such as PV, MV and SV. Through the integrated web page, users can monitor and change the control set-point through the Internet via the web browser. The ADAM-6022 also supports MODBUS/TCP protocol. HMI software can easily access this module to monitor the I/O data and change the control parameters.

ADAM-6022 has three analogue inputs, one analogue output, one digital input and one digital alarm output. The controller supports multiple analogue I/O ranges including 0-10 V d.c., 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA, as well as heating/cooling (direct/reverse) action mode. It also supports analogue output manual control modes.
