The OMEGA[®] iSeries is a family of microprocessor-based instruments offered in three true 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 family includes extremely accurate digital panel meters “DPi” and single loop PID controllers “CNi” that are simple to configure and use, while providing tremendous versatility and a wealth of powerful features. 

## **Universal Inputs** 

allows the user to linearize the signal input from extremely nonlinear transducers of all kinds. 

- al **Accuracy at 25°C: ±0.5°C temp nominal, 0.03% rdg ±0.03% range process and strain** 

## **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. For applications that do not require PID control, just simplified programming, there are 2 options available: -AL Limit Alarm and -SM Simplified Menu ON-OFF control.

The CNi Series covers a broad selection of transducer and transmitter inputs with 2 input models. 

The Universal temperature and process instrument (CNi models) handles 10 common types of thermocouples, multiple RTDs and several process (DC) voltage and current ranges. This model also features built-in excitation, 24 Vdc @ 25 mA. With its wide choice of signal inputs, this model is an excellent choice for measuring or controlling temperature with a thermocouple, RTD, or 4 to 20 mA transmitter. 

**2 Control/Alarm Outputs;** 

**Choice of DC, Pulse, Solid State Relays, Mechanical Relays, Analog Voltage and Current** 

## **Programmable Color Display** 

The iSeries are[1] ⁄8,[1] ⁄16 and[1] ⁄32 DIN controllers featuring the big iSeries color-changing display. The digits are twice the size of typical[1] ⁄8 DIN panel meters. The iSeries feature the only LED displays that can be programmed to change color between **GREEN** , **AMBER** , and **RED** . 

U **Output 3 Retransmission: Isolated Analog Voltage and Current Optional** 

The strain and process instruments (CNiS models) measure inputs from load cells, pressure transducers, and most any strain gage sensor as well as process voltage and current ranges. The CNiS has built-in 5 or 10 Vdc excitation for bridge transducers, 5 Vdc @ 40 mA or 10 Vdc @ 60 mA (any excitation voltage between 5 and 24 Vdc is available by special order). This CNiS model supports 4- and 6-wire bridge communications, ratiometric measurements. The CNiS features fast and easy “in process” calibration/ scaling of the signal inputs to any engineering units. This model also features 10-point linearization which

## **Embedded Internet and Serial Communications** 

Featuring optional “embedded Internet” the iSeries connect directly to an Ethernet network and transmit data in standard TCP/IP packets, or serve Web pages over a LAN or the Internet. The iSeries are also available with serial communications. The user can select from the pushbutton menu between RS232, RS422, and RS485, with straightforward ASCII commands or MODBUS.
