Description

The Sixth Sense AI-100 is the first 1/32 DIN temperature controller in the world to offer advanced fuzzy logic control strategy to overcome the inadequacies of standard PID controllers. The AI-100 is designed to meet the needs of today's demanding applications by offering unlimited control flexibility in a compact and economical 1/32 DIN package that is half the size of a 1/16 DIN controller.

The Sixth Sense AI-100's fuzzy logic technology works with the autotune function such that the value of the PID parameters chosen by the controller is the starting point for all decisions made. The PID parameters are adjusted internally in order to make the control output more flexible and adaptable to the process. The end result of this extra layer of "intelligence" is that your process will maintain at a steady setpoint.

Universal input features eight thermocouples, two RTD, and a variety of current/voltage options. Selectable outputs that are available for the Sixth Sense AI-100 include relay, DC pulse, 4-20mA, 0-20mA, and 0-10V. A second output is available and can be configured as one of many programmable alarms or as one of the above outputs.

The Sixth Sense AI-100 has a built-in timer function that allows you to use the controller as a simple ramp/soak programmer.

The Sixth Sense AI-100 includes a host of extras, such as an optional RS-485 communications function. Free Windows 95™-based software allows monitoring up to 31 controllers from a PC. It features excellent graphics; including bar and trend display, and supports easy-to-use database control and back-up capability.
