  KS90-1DP- the KS90-1 is now available with ProfiBus DP

The universal process controller KS 90-1 from the PMA BluePort® range connects directly to a PROFIBUS-DP network. Using simple "plug & go" functions, typical control parameters such as process value, setpoint, status data, and control signals are polled from the PROFIBUS-Master without the need for any accessory equipment. Additional process signals and parameters can be specified freely by the user. Of course, the DPV1 functionality has been implemented as standard for standardized parameter transmission. Furthermore, the diagnostics for these new BluePort® controllers have been extended, i.e. apart from limit signals and sensor faults, numerous other functions such as counters for operating hours and switching-cycles, error logbook, etc. are available.

KS40-1 burner  - controller customised for burner operation 
Precise and cost-effective control of burners is provided by this new controller in the BluePort range.  Control of  2 stage, three stage and modulating (stepping) burners is catered for.  A second analog input provides for external setpoint, position feedback or waether compensation. Controllers can be slaved off each other (as positioners) for multiple burner applications.  Pressure transmitters can be powered directly from the controller.  As with all BluePort controllers, configuring, tuning and monitoring is easily managed via a PC connected to the front data port.  Availability

Witromat - End of Production (31/10/00)Although the Witromat controller series is now out of production, we still offer repairs on these.  Alternatively, suitable replacements for all of the Witromat range can be found in the current ranges of controllers: KS40, KS90, KS92 and KS94 Please ask us if you require assistance in selecting a replacement.  Witromat info
P30 / P31 Economy Pressure Transmitter

Economic range of pressure transmitters with fixed spans, from 1 to 400 bar gauge.  Available in two wire (4...20mA), 3 wire (0...10V) outputs, with manometer style (P30) or flush face (P31) process connection.  Coupling thread available in 1/2" or M20.
  • Overload limit to 4 times span (max 600bar)
  • Conformity better than  0.6%

Plastomatic, Witropuls replacements
Plastomatic, Plastomatic II, Plastomatic 50 and Plastomatic 48 and Witropuls 50 can be replaced by the KS30 or KS50 controllers.  In the case of the Plastomatic 50 and Witropuls 50, ensure there is sufficient mounting depth (the KS30 is somewhat deeper at 111mm).  The KS30 / KS50 has a panel face size of 96mm x 48mm, so a blanking plate will be required when replacing the 96mm x 96mm size instruments.

The KS50 offers some advanced features for plastics machinery temperature control ( e.g. slow start for dehydrating MgO insulated heaters, non-disruptive adaption (tuning), heater current monitoring etc).  The KS30 has fewer features than the KS50 and is available in  two relay (heat + alarm) and 3 relay versions (Heat/Cool/Alarm.

'BlueControl' Software for configuration, simulation, and installation of 'BluePort' controllers 20/07/02

The BlueControl software provides support for all of the BluePort family controllers (KS4x-1, KS50-1 and KS90-1 variants.  Configuration and parameterisation is simplified with an 'explorer' type presentation.  Downloading can be to the onscreen simulation, or to a controller via a serial cable.

Testing of a configuration is aided by the 'programmable process simulation', which allows you to chose process response variables.  In addition to configuration download /uploads, the software can display a trend plot of many (user selectable) variables - aiding greatly in comissioning and performance monitoring.  The BlueControl software can be downloaded here, with many features available in the demo mode.  Two levels of licence unlock remaining features.


4 loop temp control module 'KS4' 23/03/01
Due to its small depth, this new 4-channel temperature controller from PMA in Kassel, can be mounted directly in cover panels and control cabinets for plastics processing machines, packaging machines, driers, pre-heating equipment, furnaces, and many other thermal processes. All four two-point controllers have thermocouple inputs (0...900 °C or 1350 °C; Types L, J, K), complete with input circuit monitoring and a logic output for the actuator.
Two freely adjustable limit signals per zone are connected to 2 common alarm outputs. An optocoupler input is provided for an external signal for set-point lowering (standby temperature as a common second set-point).

The controllers can be configured individually as signaller for limit monitoring, as positioner for any duty cycle, or as two-point controllers with DPID behaviour. The automatic self-tuning function can be started either for all controllers together or individually, and ensures optimum control parameters, also with thermally coupled control zones.
For a very moderate price, the KS 4 features 4 control loops, is extremely easy to operate, and particularly attractive for machine and plant builders.

'Paperless' Recorder from PMA 6/4/2000
PMA has announced the release of the KS 3000 Data Monitor.  The KS 3000 is available as a 3 or 6 universal (thermocouple / RTD / voltage / current) channel recorder in a 144mm x 144mm panel size unit. The 5" colour display provides a number of presentations including:

  • Vertical line recorder + numeric channel display
  • Vertical line recorder + bargraphs
  • Large Numeric display
Acquired values are stores in a flash memory ring buffer, which copies to a 3.5" floppy disk.  Optional RS-232 / RS-485 communications allow for remote interrogation of the unit. The KS 3000 is available in mains (110...240VAC) or UC ( 20...53V AC/DC) powered versions, and may be ordered either as a panel mount instrument or in a portable housing.
