The Badger Meter PC200 is a microprocessor-driven process controller designed for batching and filling both small and large quantities, as well as displaying total, accumulated total and flow rate. Designed to interface with Badger's complete line of industrial flow meters, it totalizes, indicates and controls fluid flows. Many years of experience in the industrial market has allowed Badger Meter to incorporate features indispensable in the liquid batching and control operations.
The Badger Meter PC200 can scale input signals in the form of pulses from open collector transistors or dry contact closures to any unit of measure for totalization, instantaneous rate of flow indication and bidirectional batch counting. At the preset quantity a relay signal output can be initiated to control valves, motors, alarms, and other process control devices.
The PC200 offers a no-flow monitoring feature: if the flow meter fails to generate a signal during a certain period of time, the unit will shut off the control outputs and bring the batch controller in HOLD and alarm mode. A "NO FLOW" alarm message will display. Flow Rate Alarm If during a batch process the actual flow rate is outside the allowed range, a "LO RATE", or "HI RATE" alarm message will display, indicating the type of alarm: "LO RATE", "HI RATE".
