The KS 98-1 Engineering package – all-in-one

Automated Control Engineering Group (A.C.E.) and WEST present the new KS98-1 Engineering Package. With its compact design and freely configurable functions, the KS 98-1 provides flexible solutions for complex process control tasks.

The KS98-1 enhances process control task by offering a comprehensive function library – from analog signal conditioning through digital signal processing and cascade control up to complex, intermeshed control loops.

Implementation is greatly simplified by user-friendly Engineering Tools with simulation. Thanks to the Tools, users without programming expertise are also able to try out their own ideas, design new control concepts, and test the results in a PC before applying them in a real plant.

The configuration and simulation software for KS 98-1 is now available in one practical package.

Stainless Steel Rotary Encoders designed for Extreme Conditions

Automated Control Engineering Group (A.C.E.) are now distributing the new range of AMCI DuraCoders with stainless steel housings and an IP69K rating for operation in the most extreme conditions. AMCI DuraCoders have a superior shaft load rating; providing a longer life cycle than other encoders and reliably in applications where standard encoders fail.

With a standardIP67 rating and IP69K rated versions available, end-users can take advantage of the DuraCoder’s protection against high pressure and high temperature wash downs; or liquid ingress from long-term immersion in water or contaminants.

• Standard with a 2.5” (63mm) housing
• Oversized double row sealed bearing
• Solid shaft and hub shaft versions are available with a variety of sizing options
• Shaft loadings of up to 100 lbs. (45kg) radial / 50 lbs. (22.5kg) axial
• Available in six versions: SSI, Digital, Analog, Incremental, DeviceNet, and Ethernet/IP

Applications that benefit from the stainless steel DuraCoder design include food/beverage processing, specialty vehicles, cranes, energy generation equipment, chemical/petroleum processing, wastewater treatment plants, offshore/marine environments, steel mills, and many other indoor and outdoor installations. With the ability to withstand the harshest environments, the DuraCoder remains the perfect solution for heavy-duty applications.
