The Air Control B is a microprocessor-based compressor controller in ALMIG's AIR CONTROL family, designed for simple and clear monitoring of screw and piston compressors. An illuminated color LCD permanently displays network pressure and compressor temperature, with symbol-based icons indicating all important operating states. The numerical keypad provides operator guidance for switching the compressor on/off, programming set points, and navigating parameter menus.

How does the Air Control B support maintenance planning?

The controller tracks service hours for air filter, oil, oil filter, and separator, displaying a maintenance interval indicator when service is due. A fault memory logs error codes (e.g. E065: power failure) with plain-text descriptions for troubleshooting. Power fail protection automatically backs up operational data to EEPROM, and a programmable auto-restart function returns the compressor to service after power restoration without manual intervention.

Can the Air Control B integrate into a central compressed air management system?

An RS485 data bus is standard, enabling connection to higher-level superordinate control systems for centralized monitoring of multiple compressors. An optional WebServer module provides worldwide remote access to energy and compressed air balance data, delivery volumes, loaded/idle statistics, and compressor station overviews via a web browser.
