Pulse control module for time proportional output
Omega Engineering's PCM5 is designed to transmit a signal of up to 20 mA from a process/temperature controller to a time proportional output.
The OMEGA PCM5 Series converter is designed to convert a 4 to 20 mA signal from a process/temperature controller or computer to a time proportional output.
The
modules mount directly to the input terminals on a 3 to 32 Vdc input SSR, and supports single phase 50 or 60 Hz operation. Lever clamps are provided on the converter for the 4 to 20 mA input.
The SSR’s power section provides easy connection to the line and load.
Specifications:
Analog Input Signal: 4 to 20 mA minimal; 0 to 30 mA permissible; reverse polarity protected; no abnormal operation below 4 mA Compliance Voltage Requirement: 6.4V
Time Base: ~200 mS @ 50%, ~500 mS towards 0 and 100%
Ambient Temperature: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
Dimensions: 45 L x 51 W x (1.75 x 2.0 x 0.80") 20 mm D

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
