Process Control Technology Pressure Module PCT-M3
Key Features:
• Control and measurement of pressure
• PID control PC SCADA type software with
control and data monitoring
• Complete self-contained unit
• Connection to PC through USB
• Air used for the process
• Gauge pressure sensor
• Manual valve to generate disturbances
• User manual
• Safe low pressure operation
The PCT-M3 Pressure control trainer system enables the study of the principles in pressure control and monitoring in a
pressurised system. The system is self-contained and only requires connection to a PC through a USB. The control
module is contained on the unit and has a mimic of the systems and LED indication. The PCT-M3 can be controlled
through the graphical based software supplied with the unit providing PID control.
The systems comprises a compressor connected to a reservoir tank, a regulator valve, a pressure sensor, a needle valve
to add a disturbance and a pressure gauge to indicate the pressure in the system. The built in compressor provides for a
safe working environment and removes the need for connection to an airline or additional compressor.
