   i8C / iS8C Series from $285
The NEWPORT® i8C is a 1/8 DIN size (96mm x 48mm) Digital Panel Meter featuring the big iSeries color-changing display. The digits are twice the size of typical 1/8 DIN panel meters. The iSeries meters feature the only LED displays that can be programmed to change color between GREEN , AMBER, and RED at any set point or alarm point. The “i8C” model is available as an extremely accurate programmable digital panel meter with no outputs or with dual outputs for controlling or alarming functions. The user can easily program the i8C for any control or alarming requirement from simple on-off to full autotune PID with a choice of Form C SPDT relays, Solid State Relays, DC pulse, and Analog (voltage and current) outputs.
The Strain & Process instrument (model "iS") measures inputs from Load Cells, Pressure Transducers, and most any strain gauge sensor as well as several Process (dc) Voltage ranges: 0 to 100 mVdc, -100 mVdc to 1Vdc and 0 to 10 Vdc; Process Current range: 0-20 mA. The "iS" has built-in excitation of 5 Vdc @ 40mA or 10 Vdc @ 60mA for bridge transducers. This "iS" model supports 4 and 6 wire bridge configurations, ratiometric and non-ratiometric measurements. The "iS" features fast and easy "in-process" calibration/scaling of the signal inputs to any engineering units. This model also features 10 Point Linearization which allows the user to linearize the signal input from extremely nonlinear transducers of all kinds. The MIL Standard Nickel RTD with MIL-T-7990B curve is available as a Factory Setup. Ordering Example: iS8C33-C24-FS (FS: preset for MIL-T-7990B curve, please specify range and accuracy). Analog Output The optional analog output can be programmed within a range of 0-10 Vdc or 0-20 mA. It is selectable as either a control output or as a calibrated retransmission of the process value-a unique feature among controllers. Built-in Excitation Standard Any excitation voltage between 5 and 24 Vdc is available by special order. Built-in excitation is not available with optional -C24 isolated RS-232/ RS-485 serial communications, -C4EI Ethernet option or -DC option. Control Functions The iSeries can control simple manual operation to ON-OFF and full Autotune PID control. (Selectable preset tune, adaptive tune, PID, PI, PD control modes.) The dual control outputs can be configured for a variety of independent control and alarm applications such as heat/heat, heat/cool, heat/alarm, cool/cool, cool/alarm or alarm/alarm. The ramp-to-setpoint feature allows the user to define the rate of rise to setpoint, minimizing thermal shock to the load during start-up. Maximum ramp time: 99.59 (HH.MM), Soak: 00.00 to 99.59 (HH.MM), Damping: 1 to 8 in unit steps. For applications that do not require PID control, iSeries controllers are available in two special models that offer simplified programming. The iSeries “Limit Alarm” model (specify –AL option) is a conventional limit alarm. The iSeries “Simplified Menu” model (specify –SM option) offers simplified programming. The menu flowchart is similar to programmable digital panel meters that are used for on/off control or alarms. (Please see the iSeries operator’s manuals for programming details.) iSeries FAMILY The NEWPORT® iSeries is a family of microprocessor-based instruments offered in three DIN sizes. All of the instruments share the same set-up and configuration menu and method of operation, a tremendous time saver for integration of a large system. The
iSeries
displays feature
unique 9-segment LED characters which greatly improves alphanumeric
representations. The 7-segment LED characters found on most
instruments are adequate for presenting numbers, but not
letters. Words are easier to read with the unique 9-segment
LED characters on the iSeries,
which makes operating and programming simpler and easier.
The NEWPORT® iSeries are the first complete series of 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 DIN process control instruments with totally programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at any set point or alarm point.
The instrument can also be programmed to display only one unchanging color: GREEN, AMBER, or RED. This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance, process values in three separate locations, or to display three different measurements such as Temperature, Pressure, and Flow. Designed and Manufactured in the USA The innovative NEWPORT® iSeries of meters/controllers features an extended Five (5) YEAR warranty at no extra charge. The iSeries packs a wealth of power and features into the smallest of packages, utilizing COB (chip-on-board) and SMT (surface mount technology) assembly techniques and automation. Every iSeries instrument is thoroughly calibrated and tested at several stages throughout production. The iSeries offers the highest accuracy for industrial instrumentation at 0.03% of reading. The analog-to-digital conversion utilizes proprietary 20-bit ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) patented algorithms and smart filtering. Free Software Free software is provided for easy set-up, configuration and data acquisition with the NEWPORT® iSeries.  Free
ActiveX ControlsFree ActiveX Controls are provided for the iSeries, making it easy to integrate the iSeries with information systems using "ActiveX Containers" such as Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel as well as with popular OLE and OPC compliant data acquisition, process control, and industrial automation software from NEWPORT®, GE Fanuc, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, Object Automation, iconics, and Wonderware among others. Optional Isolated RS-232 and RS-485 Serial Communications The iSeries are the first intelligent industrial instruments to offer both RS-232 and RS-485 serial communications in one instrument which can be selected from the menu. The iSeries features both the iSeries serial protocol and MODBUS serial protocol. 
The iServer is a DIN rail mounted device which can be a hub connecting up to 32 instruments to the Ethernet and Internet. The “iServer” is both a Web Server and an Ethernet-Serial bridge. To connect to the iServer, iSeries devices must feature the "-C24" Serial Communications option. Factory Setup and Configuration Make installing your iSeries meter or controller easier by ordering it preconfigured by the factory. You specify the input types, scaling if applicable, set points, alarm points, etc. and we will program the instruments to your specific requirements in our calibration lab prior to shipment. For a checklist of factory setup parameters, please consult your NEWPORT® applications engineers. The Factory Setup "-FS" and configuration option requires the serial communication "-C24" option. Custom Configurations Custom color bezels and enclosures are available for Original Equipment Manufacturers. Enhance the appearance of your equipment design with custom colors. Consult the NEWPORT® OEM Group. |
