New low cost process controllers suit every measurement task
With five new, low cost process controllers and indicators added to its range, precision
sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon is now able to offer customers a comprehensive
process control solution for all its displacement and temperature measurement sensors.
The company’s new ‘DD’ Series of controllers is designed to match the specific
requirements of process control signal visualisation and post-processing of displacement
measurement sensor signals.
The DD241PC is a single channel, 6-digit controller suitable for use with both voltage and
current input signals. It has a 12-26V supply signal for powering the displacement sensors
and has integrated limit and peak hold functions.
If customers require a simple thickness calculation, the DD245PC is the ideal controller to
use. This unit accepts two sensor signal inputs, has a 6-digit display, integrated
mathematical processing functions, two sets of programmable limits, three programmable
analogue, two switched and one RS232 output.
The DD214NE is a 1 or 2-channel input controller for incremental digital inputs from TTL or
HTL devices. Similarly, this controller has a 6-digit display and integrated process control
functions, including limit setting. For absolute encoder inputs such as SSI (binary or
greyscale), the DD241NA is designed with the same functionality as the DD241NE.
Completing Micro-Epsilon’s DD Series is the DD202TA. This is designed to accept and
evaluate two rotational/speed sensor signals. The unit has integrated programming
1
functions such as ratio, difference, stretching/shrinking, flow, time elapsed with start and
stop signal, impulse rate measurement, period or impulse duration.
Chris Jones, Managing Director at Micro-Epsilon (UK) Limited comments: “With the DD
Series, there is no need for a PC or PLC, the values are calculated within the controller.
The DD Series was developed with the most common functionality that users required.
This means our target customers – process engineers, systems integrators and panel
builders – get a much lower cost, quicker and less complex solution to their process
control needs.”

Note to Editors: Micro-Epsilon (www.micro-epsilon.co.uk) is a major global manufacturer of sensors,
headquartered in Germany. The company’s range of displacement sensors measure everything from to distance,
position, vibration, dimensions and thickness, using both contact and non-contact measurement techniques.
These techniques include 1D, 2D and even 3D laser-optical sensors and systems, eddy-current, capacitive,
LVDT & inductive, potentiometric and draw-wire principles. Additionally Micro Epsilon has developed its own
range of non-contact infrared temperature sensors that can measure virtually any target temperature from -40 to
+3,300°C.
With more than 30 years’ experience in the industry, Micro-Epsilon isn’t just a sensor manufacturer. The
company is highly innovative and understands the importance of providing complete solutions and support
services for its customers. The firm is renowned for its expertise in consulting, development and application of
industrial sensors to complex, customer-specific solutions for measurement, inspection and automation. The
focus is on selling technical advantage to its customers.
