Absolute Vacuum present the 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

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.

The TIC has two built-in communications protocols, RS232 and
RS485. These may be used either to interface to a PLC or, using
the WindowsTM PC software package supplied connected to a PC for
full monitoring and control of a TIC system.

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 programThe
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.
