 2. Product Overview

 

The PCM710 is a fully electronic, intelligent pressure switch that integrates pressure measurement, digital display, analog output, and dual-channel switching control. At the heart of the PCM710 is a high-accuracy silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor. This sensor’s analog output is amplified using a low-drift, high-precision amplifier and converted into a digital signal via a high-resolution A/D converter. A microprocessor processes this data to drive both the display and the output functions.

 

The result is a highly reliable and flexible pressure controller that delivers accurate, real-time information and control capabilities directly at the point of measurement.
