Omron can provide mass flow sensors suitable to measure any flow rate from 1mm/s to 40m/s or 1litre/min to 50litres/min of most noncorrosive gasses.
This is the task of SYS-Config! Using state-of-the-art ActiveX technology, the SYS-Config software provides an extensive range of functions to set-up, configure and monitor Omron industrial process controllers.
Easy file handling and printing facilities help the user to record valuable process data and parameter lists for use in installation, maintenance and quality assurance documentation.
SYS-Config supports the new E5N Series of Omron temperature controllers, the E5K Series of advanced process and temperature controllers, the E5ZE Series of compact multi-loop controllers and the K3N Series of advanced intelligent signal processors.
Developed at Omron's software research facility at Southampton, this software package is invaluable when programming, installing and monitoring controllers.
It offers off-line configuration with full up-load / down-load capability and an on-line monitoring mode too for more precise adjustments.
Its sophisticated 'live logging and trending' facility allows testing and recording of key parameter values and auto-tuning, as well as personal fine tuning, makes for easy optimisation of advanced PID parameters to match specific process response requirements.
Remote configuration of Omron controllers and intelligent signal processors is possible using RS422 or RS485communications and includes a replication function for the copying of parameter values between control points and memory banks.
A configuration 'Wizard' makes the whole process so easy and file handling of instrument configurations in several file formats gives rapid instrument cloning and spreadsheet or HTML formats.
The package comes with full support for each controller, giving full access to all functions for that particular controller.
The number of products supported by SYS-Config is being expanded all of the time, so if your product isn't in the list above, ask Omron for details of when it will become available. Request a free brochure from Omron Electronics ...
