The CD-20 Sample Probe Controller, manufactured by Sensia (a joint venture of Rockwell Automation and Schlumberger), is an explosion-proof device designed for use with True-Cut C-Series sample probes. Its primary function is to control the sampling process, offering both pulse input (flow-proportional) and repeat (time-proportional) control modes. When a "start" pulse is received, the probe rotates to capture and discharge a 1.5-ml isokinetic sample. The C21 probe collects one 1.5 cc sample per 360-degree rotation, while the C22 probe collects two 1.5 cc samples per 360-degree rotation. The probe's stopping position varies based on its installation: in a horizontal line, it stops in the closed position, and in a vertical line, it stops in the open position.
The CD-20 controller manages the rotation of the sample probe. In repeat mode (time-proportional sampling), the controller initiates sampling at regular intervals determined by a potentiometer, which can be adjusted from 3 seconds to 3 minutes. In external pulse mode (flow-proportional sampling), the controller responds to an external pulse input. For a "start" pulse to be registered, the input must be closed for at least 5 milliseconds, or an electronic square wave input must have an amplitude of 12VDC. A 5VDC square wave will not work. Upon receiving a valid pulse, the motor rotates the probe 180 degrees to collect a sample. The motor control assembly ensures precise operation, with armature feedback controlling the motor speed to approximately 12 rpm and current feedback limiting motor current to 3 amperes. A proximity switch provides the signal to stop the motor at the correct position. Two LEDs on the control card, I-LIMIT and PROX ("Hold"), assist in monitoring the controller's operation. The I-LIMIT LED illuminates during acceleration when the drive is in current limit, while the PROX ("Hold") LED is on when the motor is stopped. The controller can also transmit a signal verifying the 180-degree rotation of the motor to a control room if desired.
The CD-20 controller is available in different power configurations: 12VDC, 24VDC, 115VAC, and 230VAC.
