The Fairmount Automation Controller Series, Model 2100 _(FAC-2100)_ is a general-purpose, highly configurable, multi-loop process controller. Its aluminum-steel construction makes the controller extremely rugged---it is specifically designed for operation in environments susceptible to extreme temperature, humidity, shock, and/or vibration. The _FAC-2100_ is the replacement for Fairmount Automation's older _FAC-2000_ modules.
\\

The _FAC-2100_ digital process controller is equipped with a large array of I/O capabilities. It combines the analog functionality of a standard process controller with the digital functionality normally associated with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). In its standard configuration, the _FAC-2100_ has three analog inputs, two analog outputs, two universal digital inputs, eight standard digital inputs, two digital outputs, four form-C relays and two solid state relays.
\\

The digital technology used to build the _FAC-2100_, in combination with Fairmount Automation's _Design Pad_ software package, makes the _FAC-2100_ extremely easy to program and very versatile. Programming the device entails "drawing" a desired control scheme using a vast array of operator functions. These operator functions are wired together to indicate the signal flows from device inputs to device outputs. After the design is done, _Design Pad_ offers the ability to simulate the control scheme and model a process, graph any signal in the circuit, and interact with a computer-generated _FAC-2100_ front panel and manipulate device inputs.

This instruction bulletin provides detailed descriptions and illustrative examples on how to operate and install the _FAC-2100_ controller. For information on how to program the _FAC-2100_, see the _Design Pad G4_ instructional bulletin (Fairmount Automation Technical Bulletin PDG-TR-2011/12).
