Recording Controller/Profiler

DESCRIPTION

The VersaChart is perfect for demanding applications
requiring a high performance recorder/controller with
custom ramp/soak capability. The Versachart pro­vides powerful true time based profile capability and
exceptional value per data. Using advanced printing
technology, the Versachart produces a circle chart in
four colors with alpha/ numeric chart characters for
clear, accurate and readable charts that can be
archived.

MRC 9000™ VersaChart

Versatile Recorder,
Powerful Controller!

APPLICATIONS:

• Demanding Process Validation

• Trend Analysis

• Regulatory Compliance

• Product Safety

Applications:

- Temperature, Pressure and Relative Humidity

INDUSTRIES

Oven, chamber, furnaces, heat treating, food
processing, harsh water environments

™

It is the only circle chart recorder to deliver up to 16
Profiles with up to 8 segments per profile. The profil­ing feature provides closed loop PID process control
with the added capability of configurable setpoints as
a function of time. Additionally, the profile feature
includes actuators, parameters and a function block
feature permitting logic equations. The entire re­corder (recorder, controller and profile feature) is
easy to setup with its innovative PC configuration port
and available PC configuration software with security
and single point data access features. A recovery
feature is also part of the profile option which enables
users to choose a course of action in the advent of
power loss, preventing unnecessary process cycling.
Finally, a guaranteed soak feature assures that the
actual process variable during soak is within a pre­selected tolerance for the soak time to increase
product quality and prevent waste/loss.
