Yokogawa UT55A-040-110

Model Number: UT55A-040-110

Product Introduction:
The Yokogawa UT55A-040-110 is an advanced 1/4 DIN universal controller featuring 4 universal input channels and a voltage pulse output. The 040 indicates 4 inputs, and the 110 suffix specifies the pulse output configuration. This model is designed for applications requiring precise flow totalization, batch counting, or event counting via pulse input/output, in addition to standard PID control functions.

Working Principle:
The UT55A-040-110 receives process signals on 4 universal inputs. The internal PID controller compares PV to SP and generates a control deviation. The voltage pulse output generates pulses at a frequency proportional to the PV or SP value (0–1000 Hz). These pulses can be counted by a remote totalizer or flow computer to accumulate total flow or batch count. The HBA and LBA functions continuously monitor input circuit integrity.

Advantage Highlights:

  • Pulse Output for Totalization: Direct pulse output enables flow totalization without external converters
  • 4 Universal Inputs: Monitor up to 4 process variables simultaneously
  • Auto-Tuning PID: Eliminates manual PID parameter adjustment
  • HBA Function: Unique heater burnout detection prevents undetected sensor failures
  • High Accuracy: ±0.1% reading accuracy

Applicable Industries:

  • Chemical batch processing (pulse counting for batch totalization)
  • Water flow measurement (pulse-to-flow conversion)
  • HVAC energy metering
  • Food and beverage batch control
  • Pharmaceutical batch recording

Installation Requirements:

  • Panel cutout: 92 × 92 mm minimum, 96 × 96 mm nominal
  • Mounting depth clearance: 108 mm from front of panel
  • Use shielded cables for mV and thermocouple inputs
  • Ground the pulse output shield at the receiving device end
  • Ensure ambient temperature remains within 0 to 55 °C

Usage Precautions:

  • Configure pulse output scaling (pulses per unit) to match the receiving totalizer
  • Do not exceed 30 mA sink current on the open collector pulse output
  • Verify input type configuration matches actual sensor type
  • Calibrate annually to maintain ±0.1% accuracy
  • Ensure the receiving device has appropriate pull-up resistor for open collector output
