1/8
and i/32 FAMILY
The OMEGA®
iSeries
is a family of microprocessor-based instruments offered in two true
DIN sizes with
NEMA-4, IP65 rated front bezels. All of the instruments
share the same set-up and configuration menu and method of operation,
a tremendous time saver for integration of a large system.
The
iSeries
displays feature unique
9-segment LED
characters which greatly improves alphanumeric representations.
The 7-segment LED
characters found on most instruments are adequate
for presenting numbers, but not letters. Words are easier to read
with the unique 9-segment LED
characters on the
iSeries,
which makes operating and programming simpler and easier.
The OMEGA
iSeries are the first complete
series of 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 DIN process control instruments with
totally programmable color displays. The display can be programmed
to change color at any
set point or alarm point.

iSeries
Change Color at any Setpoint
|
For example, the instrument can be programmed to display the process value in
GREEN
during warm-up, switching to
AMBER to signal the normal operating range, and in
RED
to signal an alarm condition. The changes in color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine operators
can intuitively react to changing conditions. The colors can be programmed
to change back when the value drops back below the alarm point or
to "latch" on until being reset by the operator.
The instrument can also be programmed to display only one unchanging
color:
GREEN,
AMBER,
or
RED.
This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance, process
values in three separate locations, or to display three different
measurements such as Temperature, Pressure, and Flow.
The innovative OMEGA®
iSeries
of meters/controllers features an extended Five (5) YEAR warranty
at no extra charge. The
iSeries
packs a wealth of power and features into the smallest of packages,
utilizing COB (chip-on-board) and SMT (surface mount technology) assembly
techniques and automation. Every
iSeries
instrument is thoroughly calibrated and tested at several stages throughout
production. The
iSeries
offers the highest accuracy for industrial instrumentation at 0.03%
of reading. The analog-to-digital conversion utilizes proprietary
20-
bit ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) patented algorithms
and smart filtering.
Universal Inputs
The innovative iSeries
offers the broadest selection of signal inputs available on
one industrial instrument. The choices are easily selected from
the Menu with four front panel pushbuttons, or by serial communications. |

Process Voltage and Current
The OMEGA
iSeriesmeasures process
voltage: 0-100
millivolt, 0-1 Volt, 0-10 Volt ranges, and process
current: 0-20 mA.
Analog
Output
The optional
analog output can be programmed within a range of 0-10
Vdc or 0-20 mA. It is selectable as either a control output or as
a calibrated retransmission of the process value-a unique feature
among controllers.
Built-in
Excitation Standard
The
iSeries comes standard with
built-in 10
Vdc @ 60 mA or 5
Vdc @ 40 mA
excitation for transmitters
or other devices. Built-in
excitation is not available with optional
Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Serial communications.
Control Functions
The
iSeries can control simple
manual operation to ON-OFF and full Autotune
PID control. (Selectable
preset tune, adaptive tune,
PID, PI, PD
control modes.) The dual control
outputs can be configured for a variety of independent control and
alarm applications. The ramp-to-setpoint feature allows the user to
define the rate of rise to setpoint, minimizing thermal shock to the
load during start-up. Maximum ramp time: 99.59 (HH.MM), Soak: 00.00
to 99.59 (HH.MM),
Damping: 1 to 8 in unit steps. Input types: 0 to
20 mA, 0 to 100 mV,
0 to 1 V and 0 to 10 Vdc.
Free
SoftwareFree software
is provided for easy set-up, configuration and data acquisition with
the OMEGA®
iSeries.
Free ActiveX ControlsFree ActiveX Controls are provided for the
iSeries,
making it easy to integrate the
iSeries
with information systems using "ActiveX Containers" such as Microsoft
Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel as well as with popular OLE and OPC
compliant data acquisition, process control, and industrial automation
software from OMEGA®,
GE Fanuc, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, Object Automation, iconics,
and Wonderware among others.
Optional
Isolated RS-232 and RS-485 Serial Communications
The
iSeries
are the first
intelligent
industrial
instruments to offer both RS-232
and RS-485 serial communications in one instrument which can be selected
from the menu.
The
iSeries
features both the
iSeries
serial
protocol and MODBUS serial
protocol.
Factory Setup and Configuration
Make installing your
iSeries
meter or controller easier by ordering it preconfigured by the factory. You specify the input types, scaling if applicable,
set points, alarm points, etc. and we will program the instruments
to your specific requirements in our calibration lab prior to shipment.
For a checklist of factory setup parameters, please consult your OMEGA®
applications engineers.
Custom Configurations
Custom color bezels and enclosures are available for Original Equipment
Manufacturers. Enhance the appearance of your equipment design with
custom colors. Consult the OMEGA®
OEM Group.
iSeries LED displays
are considerably bigger, brighter and therefore more visible than
displays for conventional instruments with the same DIN size. The
segments in the i/8 are 21 mm (0.83") high.
