    1 . Basic description Programmable control unit PCU–100 is used for measurement, displaying and archiving of the  physical value (liquid level, pressure, flow, temperature, etc.). One transducer of physical magni- tude with an analogue 4-20 mA output can be connected to the unit. Different types of conversion (converting) characteristics (linear, square, root and user defined),  may be selected, also the tank dimensions for conversion to the volume of the media may be speci- fied. The unit is also available in the version without graphic LCD display that is replaced with the  status LEDs. The unit has a battery backed real-time circuit. Archiving with user-defined period  takes place on the internal flash memory with a capacity sufficient for more than 500,000 samples.  Data can be exported to a micro SD card for additional processing. User  configuration  is  possible  through  a  regular  desktop  application  after  connecting  a  PC  via    a micro USB connector located on the front panel of the unit. For the version fitted with an LCD  display the configuration is also possible using the graphical menu and four membrane keys. The unit is equipped with one input settings in the hardware configuration according to the type of  unit. One relay output is fully user-configurable, including the possibility of two-state control. The  functionality of the unit is expandable with optional modules. The units are built into the ABS / PC  instrument boxes intended for wall mounting. Connection terminal is located inside the device.
