DE-3000

The DE-3000 Configurable Safety Shutdown and Control System uses state-of-the-art microcontrollers and surface-mount PCB assembly technology to provide users of compressors and other critical rotating equipment with a sophisticated, yet reliable, means of protecting and controlling both the prime mover and the load machine (compressor, pump, etc.). Incorporating an “intelligent” add-on board system, the DE-3000 system is fully scalable, allowing users to incorporate a single control system technology across a wide range of applications. The base DE-3000 configuration offers a number of digital and analog outputs, as well as thirty (30) inputs that can be individually configured for use with switch contacts, thermocouples, or analog transducers. Using one of two different add-on terminal boards, medium and high-spec applications can be accommodated with up to sixty (60) configurable inputs, twenty (20) digital outputs, and four (4) user-adjustable, analog PID outputs. This approach also allows for a single control system to be used across a fleet of units, thus simplifying maintenance and part stocking requirements, along with system training requirements for operating personnel. Ease of system setup and configuration sets the DE-3000 apart from other PLC-style or competitive controllers. USB-based connectivity to the device and an intuitive, WindowsTM-based terminal program for system configuration eliminates the need for any knowledge of ladder-logic or other functional programming languages. ModBus-RTU communications are fully supported for remote monitoring and/or control applications.
