Programmable Color Display

The NEWPORT^® i/8 is the first 1/8 DIN process control instruments with totally programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at any setpoint or alarm point. For example, the instrument can be programmed to display the Process Value in GREEN during warm-up, switching to AMBER to signal the normal operating range, and in RED to signal an alarm condition. The changes in color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine operators can intuitively react to changing conditions.

In another example, the instrument can be programmed to display GREEN for normal, AMBER to signal a minor alarm condition, and RED for a major alarm. The colors can be programmed to change back when the value drops back below the alarm point or to “latch” on until being reset by the operator.

The instrument can also be programmed to display only one unchanging color: GREEN, AMBER, or RED. This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance, process values in three separate locations, or to display three different measurements such as Temperature, Pressure, and Flow.

BIGGER, BRIGHTER DISPLAYS! iSeries LED displays are considerably bigger, brighter and therefore more visible than displays for conventional instruments with the same DIN size. The segments in the i/8 are 21 mm (.83") high with 9 Segments

Free Software Free software is provided for easy set-up, configuration and data acquisition with the NEWPORT® iSeries. Free ActiveX Controls Free ActiveX Controls are provided for the iSeries, making it easy to integrate the iSeries with information systems using “ActiveX Containers” such as Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel as well as with popular OLE and OPC compliant data acquisition, process control, and industrial automation software from NEWPORT®, GE Fanuc, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, Object Automation, iconics, and Wonderware among others.
