The ITP14 is a universally-applicable process display for monitoring and controlling industrial processes. It has a configurable analog input for voltage signals (0–10 V) or current signals (4–20 mA and others). It also has an NPN transistor output to control a load up to 42 V DC / 200 mA and to implement ON/OFF control. The individual groups (input, output, power supply) are galvanically isolated from each other.

In the following video are presented:

• - Scope of delivery
• - Experimental setup with wire connection
• - Functions and configuration
• - Simple operation and sample display of a temperature
• - Configuration of the alarm and activation of the NPN transistor output
• - Setting of “safe output state”

In this video the ITP11’s functions and operation are introduced step by step.

Starting with the exterior design, going through the electrical installation until the configuration of:

• Password function
• Decimal point position
• 4 mA – lower limit (-999…9999)
• 20 mA – upper limit (-999…9999)
• Damping time
• Square root function
• Alarm function
• Lower setpoint limit
• Upper setpoint limit

Due to numerous customer inquiries, we have further developed our process display ITP11, and from now on two more process displays with new input signals are available.

The ITP14 is a universal process display with a voltage/current input that can be set to either 0-10 V or 4-20 mA.

The ITP16 is a temperature display that can read many RTDs, such as Pt100, and different types of thermocouples.

PLCs and mini-PLCs are very similar in terms of function, hardware, operation, design, etc., which makes them quite replaceable and universal devices. The main distinguishing feature of these devices is the programming software. For this reason, the user has to be thoroughly familiar with the programming environment in order to be able to program the device. Sometimes it is a time-consuming activity. To save your time, we have decided to provide you with various sample projects on programming our programmable relay PR200. Our main goal is to build as many projects as necessary to encompass all the functionality of the akYtec ALP programming environment.

The RS485 interface has gained quite a common application in Fieldbus networks. This is a high-speed and interference-resistant serial interface which makes it possible to create networks connecting many devices into a common bus.

By optimizing the electronic circuit, significant improvements have been achieved in our digital display ITP11. In particular, the voltage drop has been reduced to max. 4 V. This allows the ITP11 to be powered directly from the active output of a PLC or other device. In addition, the ITP11 has also been given an alarm function that activates the blinking of the display when the signal is outside the specified range.

Interface a shared transition point between two or more functional units (device, PC, etc.) defined by common characteristics of physical interconnections, signal characteristics, and functional characteristics of interconnection circuits.

Protocol is a standardized set of rules for data transmission over a communication interface.
