Based on open industry standards, the Ovation® Controller
is the industry's most powerful process controller. With an
Intel Pentium processor at its heart, the Ovation® Controller
allows rapidly advancing microprocessor technology to be easily
integrated into the system. An investment in Ovation®
software is protected through the use of a PC-compatible,
real-time operating system that provides full 32-bit, preemptive
multi-tasking.
The Ovation® Controller has the capability to originate
up to 16,000 points - depending on the latest RAM and processing
power available in the industry.
The Ovation® Controller executes simple or complex modulating
and sequential control strategies, performs data acquisition
functions, and interfaces to the Ovation®
Network and I/O
sub-systems. Having a standard PC architecture and passive
PCI/ISA bus interface, the Controller is compatible for plug
and play operation with other standard PC products.
The open architecture of the Ovation® Controller allows
rapidly advancing microprocessor technology to be easily integrated
into the system — protecting your investment in software.
Controller Features:
- Capability to function in a diverse array of applications
- Provides complete "bumpless" automatic failover
to backup controllers
- Compatibile with third-party software packages available
for data communications, control, custom 'C' programming,
and simulation
- Supports multi-tasking and preemptive task scheduling
- Fully compliant with POSIX1003.1b open system standards
- Flexible alphanumeric tag names represent process points
in easy-to-understand nomenclature rather than complex register
numbers or hardware addresses and offsets
- Extremely compact real-time operating system occupies
less than 50KB of memory and has the capability to store
and boot from flash memory
- Application software, point database and configuration
information is retained on non-volatile flash memory
