Absolute Vacuum present the Edwards® TIC turbo & instrument controller

Edwards TIC turbo & instrument controller

  • Compact turbo and instrument controller
  • Large clear graphical display
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Serial communications
  • Full remote control
  • Data logging functions
  • PC control software
  • Automatic recognition and support of up to three gauges from the Edwards range (excluding IGC and Barocels), and one 24 V turbomolecular pump from the EXT range.
  •  Cooling and vent valve support via controller.
  • Backing pump control
  • The TIC turbo and instrument controller either rack or bench mounted

To initiate turbo pumps and low pressure gauges, high pressure gauges can be employed, or, time delays and normal signals may be used to control turbo and instrument initiation. A comprehensive array of protection and safety interlock features are provided.

The logic interface connector includes the functions listed below.
It may be used either to link to system relays,
a higher-level control system, or an optional relay box.
By utilizing the relay box pass through connector,
a combination of a higher-level control system and relay box may be used.

Edwards® TIC turbo and instrument controller - Relay box (optional)

A range of relay boxes are available to allow the Turbo and Instrument controller to operate three 250 V a.c. 3 A (non-inductive) changeover relays, mains backing pumps and accessories. Changeover relays are activated by Turbo and Instrument controller set point outputs. The mains backing pump relay controls a backing line isolation valve, so that when the backing pump is switched off the isolation valve closes.

Edwards® TIC turbo controller - WindowsTM PC program

The Edwards TIC turbo controller range is supplied with WindowsTM based PC software (win32 application), adding to the TIC embedded control menus. This enables Edwards TIC systems to be configured, controlled and monitored from a single PC. Data logging is also included, which writes configurable parameters to file in .csv format. These can be analysed. TIC system configurations may be created and saved later use. The software carries upgrade capabilties.
