1. INTRODUCTION
A9696 Big Digit Universal Process Controller is a real breakthrough in versatility
for holding in one single instrument for all the major features required in the vast
majority of industrial processes. With sophisticated and consistent software and its
advanced truly universal circuitry, the A9696 accepts configuration of both input signal
and control output through the front keyboard without any internal hardware change.
Power supply for remote loop powered transmitters is standard and is a must
for high-end applications. From the very simple applications as a temperature
A9696
controller to the most complex systems of distributed control with PLC’s or SCADA
networks, the A9696 is the right answer to your needs for industrial or laboratory
automation.

4. ORDERING DETAILS
The basic unit includes one universal input, two SPST relays, two SPDT relays, 24Vdc
output for powering remote transmitters, one digital input, a 4-20 mA input for remote
set-point and one 4-20 mA output which can also be used as a digital input or output .
Option 1: RS485 digital communication interface with Modbus RTU protocol.
5. CONNECTIONS
5.1 Electrical Connections
All electrical connections are made to the screw terminals at the rear of the controller. They
A9696
accept wire sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 (16 to 22 AWG). The terminals should be tightened to a torque
of 0.4 Nm (3.5 lb in).
.
5.2 Routing of Wires
To minimize the pick-up of electrical noise, the low voltage DC connections and the sensor
input wiring should be routed away from high-current power conductors. If this is impractical, use
shielded cables. In general, keep cable lengths to a minimum.
