Modular System-The Hach sc1000 Multi-parameter Universal Controller is a fully modular system consisting of a Display Module and one or more Probe Modules. The Display Module and Probe Module must be ordered separately.
Display Module-The sc1000 Display Module is a full-featured controller with a large color touch-screen display. The intuitive, easy to use interface can be used for any number of parameters. One Display Module controls either a single Probe Module or a number of Probe Modules connected by a digital network. The Display Module is fully portable and can be disconnected and moved anywhere within the network. The Display Module must be ordered separately from the Probe Module.
Probe Module-Each sc1000 Probe Module provides power to the system and can accept up to 8 digital sensors. Probe Modules can be networked together to accommodate many more sensors attached to the same network. Only one Display Module is needed for a networked system. The Display Module must be ordered separately from the Probe Module.
"Plug and Play" Operation - There´s no complicated wiring or set up procedures with the sc1000 controller. Just plug the sensor into a Probe Module and it´s ready for use without special ordering or software configuration.
Mix and Match Digital Sensors - The digital sensors that can be plugged into the Probe Module can be any from Hach´s line of digital sensors-dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP, conductivity, turbidity, suspended solids, nitrate, etc. Use them in any combination.
Flexible Communication Options - Communication and relay options for the sc1000 controller can be configured to suit any situation. Standard configurations for a single Probe Module include; up to 4 potential free relay contacts for alarm and control functions, up to 12 analog outputs for measured values, up to 12 digital or analog inputs from instruments (i.e., flow or pressure sensors), field bus card to integrate with an external network (MODBUS® and PROFIBUS DP are currently available).
Additional relays and analog inputs and outputs can be added by networking a second Probe Module or optional DIN-rail communication modules.
Digital Reliability and Integration - Digital signals between the sc1000 controller and attached sensors assure data integrity and immunity from signal interference. Digital outputs from the sc1000 make it easy to integrate the controller into an existing network. Additional advanced communication features include: Ethernet port (standard)-attach a computer directly to the sc1000 controller to operate the system from the computer. Download data logs and upload software updates. MultiMediaCard (MMC) slot (standard)-transfer data and software updates using a standard memory card like those used in digital cameras. GSM wireless modem (optional)-use it for fully remote operation of the sc1000 controller, including transfer of data and software updates. (FCC approval pending.)
Expandable and Upgradeable - The sc1000 controller can adapt to your needs. Change probes without changing the controller. Probe Modules can be added or removed depending on operational needs. Fully upgradeable software ensures that this system will not be obsolete.
