What is a Data Controller?

A data controller, sometimes called a programmable logic controller (PLC), is used to link emissions monitoring sampling equipment to a data acquisition system (DAS). Typical functions of a data controller are:

• Logic timing
• Counting
• Data transfer
• Triggering automatic functions
• Providing analog to digital signal conversion
• Registering alarms
• Data logging
• Perform mathematical calculations or calibration functions
