PAC Cambridge Viscosity - Model VISCOpro 2000 - Process Viscometer Controller - Brochure

Monitoring and Control for Single-line Process EnvironmentsMonitoring and control for single-line process environmentsThe VISCOpro 2000 viscometer offers menu-driven electronics to complement and control Cambridge Viscosity’s high-quality in-line and in-tank sensors. Powerful yet easy to use, the VISCOpro 2000 provides viscosity, temperature, temperature-compensated viscosity, and optional density readings on an enhanced visual display panel. Thirteen factory-set standard measurement ranges from 0.2-20,000 cP are available for greater accuracy.Selecting operating characteristics, control set points, and alarms (six different settings) are easy using a menu-driven interface with RS232 (standard) and RS485 (optional) communications ports. A built-in 1,000-point data logger captures key data in real time that can be easily exported to common graphing programs for analysis. The VISCOpro 2000 can be easily programmed for up to 40 different fluid settings, enabling rapid changeovers in production processes – with consistent results.When you have a process line or simulation system of components that are critical to your operations, you need to know that the viscosity parameters are correct or controlled at all times. You want automated monitoring for continuous, reliable, and accurate measurements, but you also want hands-on control – the ability to change settings, measure different attributes, and capture and analyze real-time data.VISCOpro Monitor and Control MenusMAIN MENUKey features and benefitsCombining powerful electronics with our innovative sensor technology, the VISCOpro 2000 viscometer is the ideal solution for single-line monitoring and control applications. Its numerous features and benefits include:Self-cleaning operationOur proprietary software cleans the sensor at regular intervals by forcing the piston to the bottom of the chamber with increased force. This action does not affect measurement levels or data capture, yet effectively eliminates particles that can interfere with the system’s reliability. The VISCOpro 2000 will even switch to cleanout mode whenever necessary.• Four 4-20mA outputs for remote recording• TTL alarm alerts user and process line if viscosity goes outside of range• Remote operator interface feature allows for the sensors to be installed/mounted away from electronics/display – useful in process applications• Maintain viscosity control by adding solvent or heat• Data monitoring/collection/storage and transfer/Graphs up to 25 hours of viscosity, temperature, and control data in real time• Multiple setups for different configurations, including set-point, data averaging, alarm settings, and TCV values• User choice of readout in cP, cSt, or SSU• All Cambridge Viscosity sensors and transmitters are field testedVISCOpro 2000 FeaturesOPERATE MENU CONTROL SETUP MENU SUPEVISORY MENUAutomatic viscosity control (proportional-integral)The system is factory-set yet configurable. Its microprocessor “learns” how much control is needed for each fluid setting, and automatically adjusts to the ideal level, maximizing accuracy and allowing for minimal operator intervention.Multiple output signalsThe VISCOpro 2000 does more than simply measure straight viscosity; it also transmits analog signals for temperature, temperature-compensated viscosity (TCV), – optional density measurement is available as well. TCV is a particularly important attribute as fluctuations in temperature wastes money and materials while harming quality control efforts. The VISCOpro 2000 eliminates the effects of variations in process temperature and increases viscosity-control efficiency.Automatic date and timecoded data loggingThe VISCOpro 2000 works all shifts – but you don’t. With automatic date and timecoded data logging, you have an audit trail to identify errors and changes to the process, as well as performance and quality trends. The data can easily be exported to spreadsheet programs for further analysis and customized reports.Security and alertsThe VISCOpro 2000 features a supervisory lock-out function to prohibit unauthorized viewing of line status or changing of settings. When levels reach user-configured thresholds, alarms are triggered to alert operators so they can quickly take appropriate action.Quick change memory settingsIf your process line runs more than one fluid, very often each fluid requires its own viscosity control setting. When you change the fluid, you have to be sure to consistently and accurately change the settings. The VISCOpro 2000 allows you to name each fluid and select its setting.301Ideal where threaded connections are desired, the 301 sensor mates directly to a tee or pipe with standard 1.25” NPT ends. Recommended for line sizes <2”.Compatible Viscosity Sensors311Appropriate for most applications, the 311 sensor has a quick-disconnect flange for fast, tool-less removal. Recommended for line sizes <2”.372The 372 sensor installs directly into small-diameter process lines using 1/4” NPT fittings. Available with removable jacket.374The new 374 sensor incorporates an integral heater and ½” sanitary process connections making it the ideal choice for a wide range of biopharmaceutical and R&D applications.392Designed with a rugged, four-bolt stainless steel flange, the 392 sensor fits easily to any pipe line size over 1.5”.321The 321 sensor can be fitted to any pipe configuration without welding. The sensor’s head is attached to its stem at a 90-degree angle.322Typically used in permanent in-tank mounted applications, the 322 sensor’s head is attached to its stem at a 45-degree angle.440The SPL440 installs into a high pressure pump-through type system. Multiple ranges; easy changeover. Used in oil research, exploration and for supercritical fluid viscosity.
