• All sizes; 1/32 DIN to 1/4DIN
• Additional features: timer, start-up ramping, Current Transformer inputs
• Open to the outside world: Modbus, PROFIBUS DP, and Modbus Master
• PC Configurable
• Memory Chip for copying and storing configuration data
• Simple and safe to start up and use

gammadue® series is the result of Ascon's experience in designing and manufacturing compact, powerful and reliable controllers and indicators.

A universal instrument tailor-made...

gammadue^® can be used with any type of sensor (thermocouples, thermoresistances, infra-red thermometers) and linear signal (mA, Volt, Hz) as well as with non-linear signals, thanks to a special Custom linearization.

Additional inputs are also available:
 -1 analogue input for remote Setpoint, current load control (by CT), valve drive position potentiometer
 -3 digital inputs for Auto/Manual, Loc/Rem, Start/Stop, etc.

All types of outputs are available:
Relay, SSR, SSR drive, mA and Volt, that can be freely configured for control, re-transmission, or alarms.

Control functions are ensured through a PID algorithm developed for:
 -Time proportioning output with single or double action control
 -Analogue output control
 -Valve drive output control
 
Additional functions:
 -4 alarms configurable as normal, latching or blocking, that can be grouped in OR
 -Local, Remote and Programmed Setpoint management
 -Mathematical package
                                                                         

AUTOLINK
SCADA software for machines and/or small plants
 -Windows environment
 -Configuration of up to 32 gammadue^® and deltadue^® instruments; simple and flexible
 -Overview, trend and alarm pre-formatted pages
 -Plant synoptics
 -Data archiving and report generation


The presence of Modbus Master, integrated with the mathematical package, allows the top range instruments to recieve, process and send data (for example, the Setpoint) to other controllers belonging to the gammadue® series or simply equipped with Modbus Slave serial communication.

...includes additional services...
The integration of special Setpoint manipulation functions, such as Start-up and Timer, in addition to the most classical programmed Setpoint, makes the gammadue® instruments far more complete than a simple controller. Futhermore, gammadue® reduces direct (timer) and indirect (wiring) costs by avoiding the need to install additional equipment to carry out the above timing functions.


...adaptable to the process...
gammadue®'s Fuzzy-Tuning is very sophisticated: it has two initial "one-shot" tuning methods and an automatic system which, on the basis of the process conditions, selects the optimal one. The Adaptive-Tuning function optimizes the control of processes whose characteristics are continuously changing.


...and to the operator...
A particular customizable, password-protected viewing procedure (fast view) allows the operator to quickly reach the functions and information considered most important, while the option of hiding parameters or preventing their alteration avoids misuse of the instrument.

A memory chip is available to aid start-up operations. This chip is capable of memorizing all data concerning one controller and downloading them into other controllers or archiving them. A software package is also available for configuration and parameterization by PC.

...includes attitional services...
The integration of special setpoint manipulation functions, such as Start-up and Timer, in addition to the most classical programmed setpoint, makes the gammadue® instruments far more compatible than a simple controller. gammadue® reduces direct (timer) and indirect (wiring) costs by avoiding the need to install additional equipment to carry out the timing functions.
