FOXBORO 130M Series Pnuematic Controller
The 130M Series Pnuematic controllers offer manual setpoint adjustment and are the standard controller in the Foxboro® 130 Series.
All Foxboro® 130 Series controllers are designed for high-density control room installations.
These devices are ideally suited for applications where precise control is critical to skilled process management.
The 130M Series is essentially the same as dcs-sis.com the 130P and 130F Series with the exception of the following features:
130P Series: Has setpoints that are pneumatically modified by remote signals.
130F Series: Remote/local switching to support manual or pneumatic modification of setpoints.
Designed for high-density control room installations, these controllers are suitable for any situation where precise control is required for efficient process management.
The basic controller is the 130M series with manual setpoint adjustment. 130P series is similar to the 130M, but the setpoint can be adjusted pneumatically via a remote signal.
The 130F series is similar to the 130M but includes a remote/local switch for manual or pneumatic setpoint adjustment.
Large Eye-Catching Display
The visibility and legibility of the large, brightly colored pointer located directly behind the clear vertical scale has become the benchmark against which other display concepts are judged.
The system provides a continuous full-scale display of all variables, an effective indication of controller deviations, and easy scale changes without tools.
Separate automatic and manual control units
Both the automatic and manual control units can be disassembled without disrupting the process.
This design feature avoids costly downtime for servicing the controller.
Completely Unbalanced and Bufferless Transmission
The 130 Series controllers utilize the “integral balancing” method for bufferless transfer. After transfer, the controller simply responds at the integral (reset) rate that
This eliminates any error between setpoint and measurement. In addition to providing easy, unbalanced and unbuffered transmission, this solution preserves the setpoint.
Simple and cost-effective installation
Up to 10 instruments can be accommodated in a multi-unit rack. All air connections are made when the controller is installed in the rack.
Piping costs are minimized as each rack has its own integrated air supply header and individual air shutoff valve.
Easy Maintenance
The 130 Series utilizes a unique pneumatic circuit board that greatly enhances the sophistication of the pneumatic control system. This board eliminates many of the piping and connections found in other controllers.
All components are located on one side of the board and are easily accessible by sliding back the cover on one side.
Force Balance Control Module
The proven force balance control module ensures long service life and reliability. Due to the use of metal bellows, there is virtually no movement in the flexure suspension mechanism, thus providing the user with a clearly superior controller.
Specialized Controllers for Every Application
Foxboro offers the industry’s widest range of optional accessories and specialized control features. In addition to normal control modes, these include single-station ratios, single-station computer setups, auto selectors, differential gaps, and “batch” processing.
