iLD Series BIG Display Meters & Controllers

The award-winning iSeries meters and controllers now features a new BIG Display.

Like all iSeries meters, the new BIG Display can be programmed to change colors between RED, AMBER, and GREEN at any set point or alarm point. 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 equipment operators can intuitively react to changing conditions.

The BIG Display can be mounted flush in a panel or surface mounted with the included brackets. The entire BIG Display enclosure provides NEMA 4/IP65 protection. Whether panel-mounted or surface-mounted, the BIG Display does not need to go inside a bulky and expensive NEMA enclosure. Mechanical Specifications

The BIG Displays can handle a wide variety of signal inputs directly from transducers or process transmitters as well as display data transmitted from other OMEGA devices via Serial Communications or Ethernet.

The "Universal Temperature+Process BIG Display" is designed for Thermocouples, RTD's, and Process (DC) Voltage or Current. It handles TEN (10) thermocouple types: K, J, T, E, R, S, B, C, N, & J DIN. It works with a wide selection of RTD's, both Pt. 0.00385 and 0.00392 curves for 100 Ohm, 500 Ohm, and 1000 Ohm and it measures with 2, 3, or 4 wire connections for the highest accuracy. This model also measures process voltage: 0-100 mV, 0-1 Volt, 0-10 Volt ranges and process current, 0-20 mA (4-20 mA) with built-in excitation of 10 Vdc and 24 Vdc standard.

The "Universal Strain+Process BIG Display" handles a wide variety of DC voltage and current outputs from all common load cells, pressure transducers, and most any strain gage type of transducer. The meter measures input ranges of 0-100 mV, -100 to 1 V, 0-10 V, 0-20 mA (4-20 mA) with built-in excitation of 5 Vdc and 10 Vdc standard. This model also features Ten (10) Point Linearization enabling accurate measurements from a wide assortment of unique and nonlinear transducers.

The "AC BIG Displays" provide accurate isolated measurement of AC Voltage and Current signals. The AC Voltage model can be scaled for ranges from 0-400mVAC through 0-400VAC. The AC Current model covers ranges from 0-10 mA through 0-5 Amps AC.

The "Frequency Pulse BIG Display" provides accurate isolated measurement of frequency (from 200 Hz to 50 kHz) and pulse signals (up to 200M pulses full scale) that can be scaled to any engineering units.

The "Ethernet BIG Display" can display data transmitted via an ethernet network or via serial communications from OMEGA instruments, from a computer, or from other devices which transmit ASCII data via RS-422 or RS-485. The Ethernet BIG Display is compatible with virtually all OMEGA devices that feature serial communications including: iSeries meters and controllers, DP41 digital panel meters, MICROMEGA^® controllers, iDRX DIN-RAIL mounted signal conditioners, and many more.

The BIG Displays are easy to configure and scale to virtually any engineering units with the push buttons on the front panel, or with a personal computer using the free configuration software and the optional Ethernet connectivity or Serial Communications. The Ethernet option allows the device to be connected on a standard Ethernet network and communicates using standard TCP/IP protocol. The Ethernet option also includes RS-485 (and RS-422) Serial Communications. The serial communications option includes both RS-232 and RS-485 (and RS-422) on one instrument. It communicates with a straightforward ASCII communications protocol, as well as MODBUS protocol.

The BIG Display features a choice of two optional outputs: Form C SPDT (single pole double throw) mechanical relays, Solid State Relays, DC pulse, and/or programmable analog output selectable as either a controlling function or as retransmission of the process value.

Programmable Color Display
OMEGA adds a new BIG Display to the award-winning iSeries family of meters and controllers. Like all iSeries meters, the new BIG Display can be programmed to change colors between RED, AMBER, and GREEN at any set point or alarm point. The new iSeries devices have the widest range of signal inputs as well as control, alarm, and communication outputs including: RS232, RS485, MODBUS, and Ethernet.
The new iSeries are the world's first Panel Meters and Controllers with an embedded Web Server and can connect directly to Ethernet/Internet. You can "see" your meter and control your process through a web browser over the Internet from halfway around the world. With the new BIG Display, you can also see your meter from a hundred feet.

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.
