ABB RET670 1MRK004816-AC Transformer Protection Integrated Protection Relay
The ABB PGC5000 Series process gaschromatograph is based on over 50 years of
innovation in on-line process gas
chromatographs. It simplifies gas
chromatography and increases reliability. The
PGC5000 Series has been designed for
distributed control across multiple analytical
Smart Ovens for limitless application approaches,
offering a flexible platform for installation and a
cost-effective alternative to traditional process
gas chromatographs.
The PGC5000A Master Controller provides all
analyzer system control functions for all the
PGC5000 ovens. It offers a modern 10.4 inches
Color Super VGA touch screen HMI that is highly
graphical and logically laid out for ease of use.
The exact same HMI design is offered on any
networked PC.
There are two oven models, PGC5000B and
PGC5000C, with a complete line of detectors
(TCD, FID, FPD and DBDID) and valves (vapor or
liquid injection) to design and produce the best
possible analytical measurement. Both analytical
oven models have the options for airbath or
airless design and Integrated Controller.

The PGC5000B oven has a smaller footprint and
targets applications that require 1 or 2 detectors,
with up to four analytical valves.
The PGC5000C oven is 28% larger than the
PGC5000B oven, allowing application design
flexibility. Targeting more complex applications,
it can accommodate up to 3 detectors and 7
analytical valves.
PGC5000 benefits:
• Multiple Oven to Controller Configuration - The
PGC5000 has the unique flexibility to connect
up to 4 ovens to a single PGC5000A Master
Controller, allow for a smaller shelter
installation footprint and simplified application
hardware configurations. Each oven is
independently controlled allowing maintenance
on one or more while the others continue to
operate saving valuable technician time.
• Legacy Products and Backward Compatibility -
The PGC5000 represents a modern electronics
and communication backbone design for a long
product life cycle. While it is a necessary
departure from legacy products, the PGC5000
is fully backwardly compatible with the
PGC2000 and PGC3100 as ABB has the
capability of seamlessly connecting all three on
the same network further enhanced by the STAR
Data Management System (DMS). This provides
for cost effective migration of legacy to stateof-the-art products.
• Obsolescence Management - The PGC5000 was
designed with electronic component
obsolescence management as a requirement
and represents the most modern PGC design on
the market. The CANopen communication
protocol over CANbus is an industry standard,
versus proprietary protocols such as I2C, widely
used in the industries of aeronautical, naval,
and automotive, meaning it will be supported
for a very long time. The distributed PCB
CANbus control design of the PGC5000 ensures
the reality of electronic component
obsolescence is easily and quickly managed
guaranteeing a long life for the product.
