Control Conversions

An advanced microprocessor control package has been developed to meet the demanding applications of controlling Stock coal handling products. Performance enhancements, expanded communications system support, and increased diagnostic software have made the STOCK® 196NT controller the standard for control requirements into the next century.

Stock coal handling products (such as batch scales, volumetric and gravimetric feeders) using an earlier design microprocessor controller can be upgraded to the STOCK® 196NT controls with a simple retrofit kit. The control upgrade package bolts in place of the existing CPU display board. The kit is supplied with all the necessary hardware for completion of the installation.

Features

• Simplified operator interface with improved keyboard design, grouping keys by function and eliminating shift key functions.
• Two-line, 80-character, VF alphanumeric display.
• Printed text messages replace code numbers and simplify maintenance.
• Eighteen self-test modes allow on-line equipment monitoring.
• Ability to perform the tare and span calibration independently, thereby enhancing diagnostic capability.
• Simple bolt-in installation with minimal field labor and no change to existing cabinet wiring.
• Replaces obsolete controls with technology powerful enough to support your feeder control requirements and systems into the next century.
• Serial interface for data logging.
• Event tracking with real-time clock.
