PMA KS 98-2
Multi-function Controller
Product Brochure
Overview
Automation made easy
PMA’s multi-function instrument KS 98-2 combines PID control, process monitoring, sequence control,
data logging and alarms.
• Modular automation system in a 1/4-DIN (96 x 96mm) format
• Measure, control, calculate, and record
• Process visualization, operation, alarm and alerts
• Comprehensive application-oriented functionality
• Graphical programming utility and simulator
• 3.5 ” color touch-screen display
• USB interface on front fascia
• Expandable with modular inputs and outputs
• Ethernet and common eldbuses
Function blocks from an extensive library can be used to build an application by easily selecting and
connecting the blocks graphically using the “ET/KS98”-utility. This method is ideal for creating tailored
control, including user interface pages with minimal eort. As a complete solution in a single unit, the KS
98-2 multi-function instrument helps to reduce programming, installation cost and control cabinet space.
Hardware exibility
• Unprecedented number of I/O in a 1/4-DIN device
• Fully adaptable with up to 12 internal I/O-modules
• Almost every 1/4 DIN Controller can be replaced/upgraded
KS 98-2 oers comprehensive modular input and output options to
adapt the unit to the application needs. The unit is optimized to handle
the precise measurements required in the process industry via I/O
modules supporting a variety of sensor types and also have galvanic
isolation. Additional signal conditioners and isolating ampliers are not
necessary in most applications, saving cost and less installation time.
Easy creation of applications for simple and complex tasks
To program the multi-function instrument KS 98-2 for a specic application, the easy to use graphical
engineering utility ET/KS98 is available. A variety of proven function blocks for control, sequencing and
calculations can be easily selected and combined as needed for the application. A computer simulation
helps to validate and improve the user program in the oce before commissioning for live factory
equipment.
By selecting functions from the library, the corresponding user screens for operation and setup are added to
the user program automatically. Specic overview pages can be built and added to the application.
