Two Set Point – Display Card – Process Controller

This is the pcb board details of a Two Set Point Controllers for any process, shown here for temperature. For new types of transducers or input types, module card has to be designed or modified. The other cards remain the same.
The cabinet of these process controllers were made of steel for shielding, but the display [...]

Temperature Controller Main Card

This contains the Main card with a Power Supply and Relay Control. On this card is connected the Display ICL7107 – Temperature controller.
The Thermocouple and Control Modules can be plugged into this card, these change the type of control and type of inputs. This way this can be made into any parameter controller with any [...]

Analog Mux for Data Acquisition Systems

Here is a 4-20 mA In/Out Analog Mux with Cascade option. This is a simple circuit i designed to make a Automation System within a budget.
This takes 4-20mA from many Transmitters and gives out just one 4-20 mA output. The Mux is done with a digital byte or word. This is a slow scanner as [...]

Multiplexed Presettable Timer with ICM7217

This was a attempt to make a Sequential Timer with ICM7217 of Intersil, even though it worked well, it was not developed beyond the prototype stage or first iteration. Only when a product is made in some numbers, the documentation and designs become clear, streamlined and seasoned.
The PCB and Circuit are not complete. It may [...]
