VGC50x
Vacuum Gauge Controller
Sustainable solution for process measurement, control and data log. Compatible to the wide range of INFICON active gauges, the new VGC50x series of active gauge controllers are able to monitor and data log the entire pressure range from 10⁻¹⁰ to 1500 mbar (10⁻¹⁰ to 1125 Torr) and the set point status.
Benefits
- Simple operation with dot matrix menu guided display for parameter, sensor or general settings
- Very bright and clear Display for long distance Instrument read- out
- Bar graph display with setpoints’s or pressure vs. time display
- Data log and parameter log function with USB port (rear side) and USB stick (front side)
- Ethernet interface
- Firmware upgrade available online or with USB stick
- Two free definable setpoints per channel with adjustable hysteresis
- High Resolution – 16 bit A/D converter
- Automatic identification of the INFICON active gauges
- Programmable 0 to 10 V Chart Recorder Output with logarithmic/ linear characteristics for single gauge or gauge combination (only VGC502 and VGC503)
