Compact 4 Channel Vacuum Controller

The new Vacuum Display and Control Unit VD14 with four measuring channels from Thyracont Vacuum Instruments is going to be available from February 2018.

The VD14 features a large graphic LCD display with background illumination in a very compact 19“ metal housing. A very comfortable operation is offered by a menu-driven operator guidance. The status of the four available relay switches is apparent in the display. These relay switches can be assigned to any of the four channels and can be linked to different switching modes e.g. relay one switches to channel three at measuring range underflow.

An USB interface and an additional RS232 interface enable the data exchange with the PC as well as the connection to a SPS. Thus, the parameters of the controller as well as the individual transducers (e.g. units, output characteristics, gas type correction factors, switch points, etc.) can be adapted with the Thyracont VacuGraph™ software for Windows® or by software command.

All vacuum transducers of the Smartline™ product family are supported and are recognized automatically. Smartline stands for digital and intelligent measurement technology from rough vacuum to ultra-high vacuum.
