1 Introduction
The PGC5000 Generation 2 Process Gas Chromatograph analyzer separates and measures the
individual components of gas or liquid samples. It automatically samples and analyzes process
streams using an appropriate interface to control analytical functions. This interface may be a Local
User Interface (LUI) that utilizes operational software located on the Master Controller, or it may be a
Remote User Interface (RUI) that has the same operational software on a PC. The term “user
interface” in this instruction refers to either the LUI or RUI, whichever applies to the system.
The PGC5000 Generation 2 analyzer is compatible with version 4.2.1 and later of the STAR Data
Management System.
Each analyzer has a temperature code (T-Rating) listed on the nameplate. This T-Rating indicates the
temperature classification of the area in which the analyzer has been designed to operate. T-Ratings
and area classifications for analyzer locations are determined and supplied by the customer.
The standard analyzer consists of a Master Controller and associated ovens. The configuration below
has the Master Controller connected to the ovens through an Ethernet switch.

Ovens with Integrated Controllers consist of only the associated ovens. For the configuration below,
there is no Master Controller, and the user interface is accessed remotely.
