A series of controllers, which consists of four DIN rail mounting type controllers and one DIN panel type programme controller, has been introduced by Yokogawa Electric. The UTAdvanced controllers are mounted on furnaces and other types of heat process-related industrial facilities for the measurement, display and control of operating variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate.
In recent years, it has become more common for equipment manufacturers to integrate the setting, manipulation and display functions of PLC and other embedded control devices on touch panels and other types of UIs, and to mount the hardware on DIN rails inside panel boxes. Therefore, there is an increasing need for such DIN rail mounting type controllers.
The UTAdvanced controllers come in two sizes: 1/4 DIN and 1/8 DIN. While 1/4 DIN controllers are more popular because they have large display panels and provide a wider range of I/O interfaces. For applications where space is limited, Yokogawa added 1/8 DIN controllers to its product lineup.
