ABB PGC5000 Series gas chromatographs
OverviewThe PGC5000A Generation 2 master controller
provides all analyzer system control functions and
coordinates internal and external data activities for
all of the PGC5000 Series ovens. The new controller
also supports multiple smart oven configurations to
maximize application flexibility while minimizing
space and utility requirements. The Generation 2
controller is designed with a Real Time (embedded)
Operating System (RTOS) to guarantee critical
system uptime, security and deterministic transfer
of data. The Human Machine Interface (HMI)
includes a 10.4 inch true color touchscreen SVGA
display, universal keypad and touch-pad mouse.
