SIXTH SENSE AI-200
LOW-COST 1/32 DIN TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
The Sixth Sense AI-200 is the second generation in the AI series of fuzzy logic and PID microprocessor-based controllers. This 1/32-DIN
panel-mount controller incorporates a bright, easy-to-read 4-digit LED display, high-accuracy analog-to-digital converter, and multiple-output
options.
The AI-200 temperature controller is available with a temperature input (programmable for J, K, T, E, B, R, S, N, and L type thermocouples,
and PT100 RTDs) as well as a voltage or milliamp linear input (0/1-5V, 0/4-20mA). The controller is available with up to 2 outputs. Each of
the outputs on the Sixth Sense AI-200 can be ordered in one of three configurations: relay (2A / 240VAC), pulsed voltage (5V / 30mA), or a
linear (04-20mA or 0/1-5V) analog output.
The fuzzy logic technology enables a process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time while minimizing overshoot during
power up or external load disturbances. There is a wide variety of selectable alarm modes, soft-start ramp and dwell timer, and an on-board
programming port for automatic configuration, calibration and testing without the need to access the keys on the front panel. Other
features on the Sixth Sense AI-200 temperature controller include optional RS-485 or linear 0/4-20mA retransmission for a compact, high-
performance, and easy-to-use controller.
