The DSC100 positions the actuator by sending a redundant, configurable position demand to the actuator and senses the actuator position using single or dual position feedback devices (LVDTs, RVDTs or DC current). The position demand signal can be sent to the DSC100 via Network, Serial or 0-25mA connections. ![Dsc100 Blue Application](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/DSC100-black-application.png) ### FEATURES - Compact Size - Intuitive Configuration and Calibration - Modbus TCP Communications and Configuration Interface - Serial Modbus (485) Communications and Configuration Interface - Redundant 3,4,5,& 6 wire LVDT / RVDT Position Feedback inputs - Redundant configurable (+/-250mA, +/-100mA, +/-50mA, +/-10mA) Actuator Outputs - DIN rail mounted - Redundant 24vdc Powered [![Dsc100 Rightside](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/DSC100-RightSide.png) ](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/DSC100-RightSide.png?hsLang=en) [![Dsc100 Front](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/DSC100-Front-small.png) ](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/DSC100-Front.png?hsLang=en) [![Dsc100 Leftside](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/DSC100-LeftSide.png) ](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/DSC100-LeftSide.png?hsLang=en) [![Dsc100 Backview](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/DSC100-BackView.png) ](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/DSC100-BackView.png?hsLang=en) The DSC100 is a DIN rail mountable, fully functional sub-compact digital servo controller, that's comprised of two pieces - a base and the controller module. The controller module can be replaced without disturbing the field wiring on the base. ### FEATURES - Compact Size - Intuitive Configuration - Intuitive Calibration - Modbus TCP Communications and Configuration interface - Serial Modbus (485) Communications and Configuration interface - Redundant 3,4,5,& 6 wire LVDT / RVDT Position Feedback inputs - Redundant, configurable (+/-250mA, +/-100mA, +/-50mA, +/-10mA) actuator outputs - DIN rail mountable - Redundant 24vdc powered ### Input/Output - (2) Redundant 3, 4, 5, and 6 wire LVDT / RVDT Position Feedback inputs - (2) Redundant DC Current / Voltage Position Feedback inputs - (1) “Hard-wired” position command input (0-25mA) - (2) Configurable current Actuator Outputs - (1) Digital Reset Command input - (1) Digital External Shutdown Input - (1) Alarm Output - (1) Shutdown Output - (1) Modbus RS-485 Connection - (1) Modbus TCP Connection ![Ts Icon 02](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/ts-icon-02.svg) ## Configuration Tool The DSC100 comes with an easy-to-use Windows-based software application that allows you to configure the DSC100 from a PC. Calibrating and configuring the DSC100 is fast and easy with an autocalibrate function, tuning, manual valve stroking and on-line adjustment functionality, Configurations can be easily downloaded or uploaded to or from the DSC100 and a comparison feature makes it easy to identify differences between two configuration files. ![Ts Icon 20](https://tri-sen.com/hubfs/TriSen_August2020/Image/ts-icon-20.svg) ## Integrated Help Detailed integrated help minimizes the need to refer to the User’s Guide during configuration.
