The
NEWPORT®
i8DH and i8DV are high quality, highly accurate
single loop Autotune PID Temperature and Process Controllers
for 1/8 DIN (96mm x 48mm) horizontal or vertical panel cutouts.
Both devices feature the same state of the art technology,
uncompromising accuracy, and quality backed by an extended
5-year warranty. The i8DH and i8DV are simple
to configure and use, while providing tremendous versatility
and a wealth of powerful features.
The i8DH and i8DV come standard with your choice
of two control or alarm outputs in almost any combination:
solid state relays (SSR) rated at 0.5 amp @120/240 Vac; Form
"C" SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relays rated at 3 amps
@120/240 Vac; pulsed 10 Vdc output for use with an external
SSR; or Analog Output (0-10 Vdc or 0-20mA) selectable for
control or retransmission of the process value.
The Universal Temperature & Process
instrument (model"i") offers a selection of 10 thermocouple
types as well as 2, 3 or 4 wire RTD's, process voltage and
current. The i8DH and i8DV are ideal controllers
for use with transmitters and amplified transducers. Built
in excitation is standard (24Vdc @ 25mA). The devices handle
0-20mA Process Current and Process Voltage in three scales:
0-100mV, 0-1V, and 0-10V.
As with all iSeries devices,
the Process Value display can be programmed to change color
between Green, Amber and Red at any set point or alarm point.
The LED's displaying the Process Value on the i8DH
(horizontal 1/8 DIN) are the largest digits of any 1/8 DIN
controller.
The Strain/Process instrument
(model iS) meters and controllers measure inputs from Load
Cells, Pressure Transducers, and most any strain gauge sensor.
Input ranges include 0 to 100 mVdc, -100 mVdc to 1 Vdc, 0
to 10 Vdc in addition to 0-20 mA. Excitation for transducers
of 5 Volt and 10 Volt is standard.
The highly recommended Networking and Communications options
include direct Ethernet LAN connectivity with an Embedded
Web Server, and serial communications. The C24 serial communications
option includes both RS-232 and RS-485 which can be selected
from the menu as well as both a straightforward ASCII protocol
or MODBUS. The C4EI option includes both Ethernet and RS-485
ASCII/MODBUS on one device.
The iSeries are designed
for easy integration with popular industrial automation, data
acquisition and control programs as well as Microsoft Visual
Basic and Excel. NEWPORT®
provides free configuration and data acquisition software
and demos which makes it fast and easy to get up and running
with many applications.
i/8
and i/32 FAMILY
The NEWPORT®
iSeries
is a family of microprocessor-based instruments offered
in two true DIN sizes with NEMA-4, IP65 rated front bezels.
All of the instruments share the same set-up and configuration
menu and method of operation, a tremendous time saver for
integration of a large system.
The
iSeries
displays feature
unique 9-segment LED characters which greatly improves
alphanumeric representations. The 7-segment LED characters
found on most instruments are adequate for presenting
numbers, but not letters. Words are easier to read with
the unique 9-segment LED characters on the iSeries,
which makes operating and programming simpler and easier.
Programmable
Color Display
The
NEWPORT
iSeries are the first
complete series of 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 DIN process control
instruments with totally programmable color displays. The
display can be programmed to change color at any set point
or alarm point.

iSeries
Change Color at any Setpoint
|
For example, the instrument can be programmed to display
the process value in GREEN
during warm-up, switching to AMBER
to signal the normal operating range, and in RED
to signal an alarm condition. The
changes in color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine
operators can intuitively react to changing conditions.
The colors can be programmed to change back when the value
drops back below the alarm point or to "latch" on until
being reset by the operator.
The instrument can also be programmed to display only one
unchanging color: GREEN,
AMBER,
or RED.
This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance,
process values in three separate locations, or to display
three different measurements such as Temperature, Pressure,
and Flow.
Designed
and Manufactured in the USA
The innovative NEWPORT®
iSeries
of meters/controllers features an extended Five (5) YEAR
warranty at no extra charge. The iSeries
packs a wealth of power and features into the smallest of
packages, utilizing COB (chip-on-board) and SMT (surface
mount technology) assembly techniques and automation. Every
iSeries
instrument is thoroughly calibrated and tested at several
stages throughout production. The iSeries
offers the highest accuracy for industrial instrumentation
at 0.03% of reading. The analog-to-digital conversion utilizes
proprietary 20-bit ASIC (application specific integrated
circuit) patented algorithms and smart filtering.
Universal
Inputs
The innovative iSeries
offers the broadest selection of signal inputs available
on one industrial instrument. The choices are easily
selected from the Menu with four front panel pushbuttons,
or by serial communications. |

Process
Voltage and Current
The NEWPORT® iSeries
measures
process voltage: 0-100 millivolt, 0-1 Volt, 0-10 Volt ranges,
and process current: 0-20 mA.
Analog
Output
The optional analog output can be programmed within a range
of 0-10 Vdc or 0-20 mA. It is selectable as either a control
output or as a calibrated retransmission of the process
value-a unique feature among controllers.
Built-in Excitation Standard
The iSeries comes standard
with built-in 10 Vdc @ 60 mA or 5 Vdc @ 40 mA excitation
for transmitters or other devices. Built-in excitation is
not available with optional Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Serial
communications.
Control Functions
The iSeries can control
simple manual operation to ON-OFF and full Autotune PID
control. (Selectable preset tune, adaptive tune, PID, PI,
PD control modes.) The dual control outputs can be configured
for a variety of independent control and alarm applications.
The ramp-to-setpoint feature allows the user to define the
rate of rise to setpoint, minimizing thermal shock to the
load during start-up. Maximum ramp time: 99.59 (HH.MM),
Soak: 00.00 to 99.59 (HH.MM), Damping: 1 to 8 in unit steps.
Input types: 0 to 20 mA, 0 to 100 mV,
0 to 1 V and 0 to 10 Vdc.
Free Software
Free
software is provided for easy set-up, configuration and
data acquisition with the NEWPORT®
iSeries.
Free
ActiveX Controls
Free ActiveX Controls are provided for the iSeries,
making it easy to integrate the iSeries
with information systems using "ActiveX Containers" such
as Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel as well as
with popular OLE and OPC compliant data acquisition, process
control, and industrial automation software from NEWPORT®,
GE Fanuc, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, Object Automation,
iconics, and Wonderware among others.
Optional
Isolated RS-232 and RS-485 Serial Communications
The iSeries
are the first intelligent
industrial
instruments to offer both RS-232 and RS-485
serial communications in one instrument which can be selected
from the menu.
The iSeries features
both the iSeries
serial protocol and MODBUS serial protocol.
Free Factory Setup and Configuration
Make installing your iSeries
meter or controller easier by ordering it preconfigured
by the factory, at no extra charge. You specify the input
types, scaling if applicable, set points, alarm points,
etc. and we will program the instruments to your specific
requirements in our calibration lab prior to shipment. For
a checklist of factory setup parameters, please consult
your NEWPORT® applications
engineers. The Factory Setup and configuration option requires
the serial communication "-C24" option.
Custom
Configurations
Custom color bezels and enclosures are available for Original
Equipment Manufacturers. Enhance the appearance of your
equipment design with custom colors. Consult the NEWPORT®
OEM Group. iSeries LED
displays are considerably bigger, brighter and therefore
more visible than displays for conventional instruments
with the same DIN size. The segments in the i/8 are 21 mm
(0.83") high.
