set point.

A stainless steel thermometer pocket is located in the lid of the small process vessel.

Software
The PCT40 is supplied with an educational software package with a wide range of
facilities and functions. The computer is the primary interface between the user and
the equipment. The software displays real time process mimic diagrams with
readings of the relevant sensor outputs and controls for the system inputs. Manual,
On/off, time proportioned and PID control loops can be configured using ten
predetermined student exercises.
All control and sensor signals can be logged continuously using the PC, and
disturbances of known magnitude can be introduced. This eliminates the need for a
separate process recorder or chart recorder for analysis of the process control
responses. This software is compatible with PCs using Microsoft Windows
