The Proteus 1000 Series harnesses the new technologies of surface mounting, heuristic auto tuning, multiprocessor architecture, a unique ultra high resolution charge balancing analogue to digital convertor and very low power double hetero junction AlGaAs LEDs, to create a range of controllers of unsurpassed power and flexibility. The ¼ din IP65 sealed instrument benefits from PID self tuning with bumpless auto/manual switching is a standard feature on all Series 1000 instruments, and will accept one input of a universal type (+/- 1 or 10V analog, current analogue using external shunt, standard thermocouples, mV/mA process signals and RTDs), and two of a digital type for performing various functions such as starting a profile, unlatching alarms and switching between auto and manual mode. Six buttons make all parameters quick and easy to access for operators, and a password facility enables engineers to access all settings for profile setting and reconfiguration. The dual displays (One of 12mm and the other of 9mm) show the measured variable (+/- 9999 digits) and the instruments setpoint (99999 digits). A 10 element bargraph is also integrated to show heating and cooling outputs or motorised-valve positioning. The number of outputs are dependent on the instrument model, which can support up to five output boards. These can be in the form of a relay, logic signal, 10V analogue, 20mA analogue or event relay driver, user configurable within the instruments software. RS422/485 serial communications are available on the 1100 series, with baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600. This enables the instrument to communicate with a PLC, a P.C. or other FGH products within a system. There are a number of different models within this series.

Proteus S1000 Series Controller The S1000 is the entry level model in the series, a powerful auto-tuning controller for stand alone process control applications.
In normal operation dual displays, a bar graph showing power output, distinctively shaped tactile controls and control layout make the Proteus 1000 instruments exceptionally easy to use. Thirteen status LEDs display alarms, auto-manual status, tuning and other parameters clearly and unambiguously. Auto-manual is simple and foolproof to use. The display may be set to show output power in place of setpoint, indicated by a status light, alongside the normal display of measured variable. A unique four key sequence code prevents tampering, while giving the engineer fast access to the unparalleled flexibility of the proteus series. Once the correct password is entered, the user has access to a reconfiguration menu scroll consisting of easy to understand mnemonics of five characters in place of the usual four. It is also possible to move both forwards and backwards in the menu scroll, a great time saver. Its not only what is in your Proteus 1000 that makes it such a good investment, but the knowledge that it can be upgraded in the future if your needs change.
The entry level S1000 has two input/output slots, capable of supporting two voltage free relay outputs, or one relay and one analogue output. These may be configured for control output plus alarm, heat-cool outputs, and many other combinations. modules can be added at any time, making the S1000 a very flexible choice for instrument departments which need to carry spares, and for stocking distributors, who are able to provide many Proteus 1000 models ex-stock from a modest inventory. Proteus S1100 Series Controller The S1100 is the top of the range process controller in the series, a powerful communicating, auto-tuning controller with analogue and digital communications for integration into larger control schemes.

The powerful S1100 has six input/output slots, capable of supporting numerous combinations of voltage free relay outputs, analogue outputs, analogue remote setpoint input, transmitter power supply, motorised valve slidewire input and serial digital communications. The configurations available are almost endless, and the S1100 can be reconfigured at any time. Modules can also be added at any time, making the S1100 a very flexible choice for instrument departments which need to carry spares, and for stocking distributors, who are able to provide many Proteus 1000 models ex-stock from a modest inventory. Proteus P1000 Series Profiler The P1000 is the low cost profiler in the Proteus family, an exceptionally powerful controller/profiler, which computes and stores a process model and modifies its control criteria dynamically as the profile is executed.
The P1000 provides up to 10 profiles, each of up to 25 segments, and up to 2 event relays programmable in any combination on each segment. In normal operation, the operator has only to select the desired profile and press start; the P1000 does the rest. It even determines the current value of the process variable and starts the profile from that point. Our advanced process model technique keeps the P1000 firmly in control, even on difficult plants with large gain or lag changes during a profile, and dual displays and numerous status indicators show precisely what is happening. For an unattended plant, a delayed start facility allows the operator to enter a value in hours and minutes, after which the profile will start automatically. Remote control inputs also allow starting from an external timer or PLC. For cyclic testing, up to 999 repeats of the profile can be pre-programmed. Clear mnemonics, simple controls and programming in easy to understand hours/minutes format make the P1000 exceptionally user friendly. A unique four key sequence code prevents tampering, while giving the engineer fast access to the unparalleled flexibility of the proteus series. Once the correct password is entered, the user has access to a reconfiguration menu scroll consisting of easy to understand mnemonics of five characters in place of the usual four. It is also possible to move both forwards and backwards in the menu scroll, a great time saver. For profiled control applications, the P1000 auto-tuning algorithm is used to compute a process model during commissioning, and to use this information to adapt the PID terms during the execution of profiles in order to take account of plant gain and lag changes before they cause control errors. Like all the other members of the Proteus family, the P1000 has modular input/output which can be expanded at any time, making it a very flexible choice for instrument departments which need to carry spares, and for stocking distributors, who are able to provide many Proteus 1000 models ex-stock from a modest inventory. Proteus P1100 Series Profiler The P1100 is the top of the range profiler in the Proteus family, with extensive modular input/output, and both analogue and serial digital communications.

Proteus S1600 Series Alarm Scanner
The Proteus S1600 Series alarm scanner measures, records and checks for critical temperature alarms in applications as diverse as monitoring bearings, diesel exhausts, tunnel kilns, air conditioning plant, cold stores and heat treatment for stress relieving welded structures. In normal operation, up to six channels of temperature measurement are checked and compared with twelve (two per channel) user programmed alarm settings. In addition, the series S1600 computes the highest, lowest and average temperatures plus the spread between the highest and lowest. Alarm criteria may be defined for these derived values, For example, monitoring the spread of temperature enables an overheating bearing to be identified independently of factors such as ambient temperature or machine load. Users may select digital displays of individual point values, average, spread, highest or lowest value using push buttons on the IP65 front panel. In the event of an alarm, an LED indicator for the appropriate channel flashes and an electrical output is given for interface to audible alarms or control systems. The alarm channel indicator remains flashing until acknowledged from the front panel or an external key switch, when it lights steady until the alarm condition returns to normal. Alarm outputs are via two common isolated relay change-over contacts rated 250V 2A AC or open collector state drivers suitable to interface to PLC inputs etc. These may be extended by the addition of one or two optional 8 channel external relay units giving a separate output for every alarm. Recording of measured values and alarms may be via a local printer or via an existing plant wide logging system. For local records, the S1600 provides RS232 type output to an optional economical 9 pin dot matrix computer page printer. Tabulated temperatures are printed in Celsius or Fahrenheit at timed intervals, on manual demand or in the event of an alarm. To interface to a plant wide logging system, the S1600 supports RS485 serial digital communications with computers and PLC at up to 9600 baud. Accuracy of the S1600 is +/- 0.2% for all the commonly used thermocouple types and 4-20 mA temperature transmitters can be accommodated. A two pole reed relay muliplexer is used to maintain isolation between input channels. Scan speed is variable from one to one hundred seconds per point with common mode noise rejection of 150dB and series mode of 70dB. Resolution may be 1 degree or 0.1 degree with display in either Celsius or Fahrenheit The Series 1600 is set up using the front panel push buttons and menus protected by a secure password system. Any or all of: Alarm settings, channel skip selections, logger settings and alarm acknowledge may be password protected. Engineer's mode also allows selection of thermocouple type from a list of over 30 common standards and selection of measurement range to any value within the capability of the sensors chosen. Power requirement is 85-264V AC 50/60Hz or nominal 24V DC (21.6-27.5V). The Proteus 1000 Series has recently been improved and updated to the Proteus 3000 Series. The 1000 Series is however still available, the 3000 Series being the more superior of the two. |
