INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the 535 Profile
Controller — the most sophisticated
instrument in its class. It will provide
you with years of reliable, trouble-free
performance.
From its surge-resistant power supply to its rugged construction, the 535 Profile
Controller is designed to ensure the integrity of your process with maximum reli-
ability — hour after hour, day after day. The isolated inputs and outputs guard
against the dangers of electrical interference, the front face meets NEMA 4X stan-
dards for watertight operation and exposure to corrosive environments, and the
solid metal housing and sturdy rubber keys enhance durability and ESD protec-
tion.
The 535 Profile Controller has been engineered to be the industry’s most user–
friendly process controller. With three digital display areas — two offering up to 9
characters of true alphanumerics — the controller effectively eliminates the cryptic
messages that could confuse even the most experienced operator. The bright,
crisp display is vacuum fluorescent, and offers much better readability than any
other display technology. Additional operator–friendly features include: custom
programmable alarm messages, illuminated keys, and an easy–to–use menu
system.
The 535 Profile Controller is the most accurate instrument in its class. With a sam-
pling rate of ten times per second, it is ideal for demanding pressure and flow ap-
plications. The controller also offers a universal process input and modular, field
interchangeable outputs that allow more flexibility than ever before. The RS-485
serial communications interface allows the controller to utilize sophisticated soft-
ware routines and high speed hardware to provide exceptionally fast and accu-
rate transmission of data. The 535 Profile Controller also offers sophisticated
control algorithms, including
exclusive Adaptive Tune
which constantly analyzes
your process and makes modifications to the tuning parameters to ensure you’re
always under control.
