 1 • IDENTIFICATION OF MODEL

Thank you for choosing an ASCON controller

The instruments of the XE series belong to the last generation of

microprocessor based controller, are universal, very powerful but
simple to use.
They are fitted with AUTO-TUNE, as aid for system start-up, and serial
communication for introduction into a distributed control network.
They are complete because all possible variables are always present.
Configuration of the instrument permits determination of the operating
mode according to the application required.
