TPS Smart 1.1 Windows-based Programmable Logic Controller for Industrial Ovens and Environmental Test Chambers

Smart 1.0 Controller

The Smart 1.1 Controller is a Windows-based, programmable logic controller (PLC) that provides the best of both worlds – the cost effectiveness of a PLC and the flexibility of Windows. Smart 1.1 is a scalable, extensible, customizable, and affordable controller platform for use in environmental-testing chambers and industrial ovens. It has a real-time function screen and communicates in real time, providing remote access via smartphone, tablet, etc. using an Internet connection and VNC application.

Smart 1.1 offers a WSVGA 1024 x 600 high-resolution, graphical touch screen; Smart 1.1 graphical user interface; 800 MHz Cortex A9 CPU with graphics processor; and 4GB flash storage, capable of storing up to 100 profiles, with 100 steps each. Test-data retrieval and profile-data transfer/sharing is accomplished through a local, USB flash drive. Individual PID control loops allow for precise process control, with ramp/soak programming for each loop. Smart 1.1 uses a 100-ohm platinum RTD for temperature measurement and a dry-capacitance-type sensor for humidity measurement.

The Smart 1.1 Controller offers smart, touch-screen navigation; smart data logging and trending; smart and intuitive alarms; and smart and easy programming. Upgrading from an F4 controller to the Smart 1.1 controller is cost-effective and easy.

Smart 1.0 Controller

The controller’s Smartwire architecture involves less wiring than other controllers, reducing the opportunity for errors and making troubleshooting and replacement easier. Smart 1.0 has two process inputs and six event outputs (two on the C-EVO) for special applications. Additional features and events can be purchased as options. Ethernet is standard on all models. Serial Modbus RTU (RS232 or RS485) and IEEE 488 also are available.

Available now on the Tenney C-EVO Temperature Humidity Test Chamber and scheduled for release on all TPS testing chambers. Contact your TPS sales representative for details.
