Versatile Sensor CompatibilityThe controller supports both Thermocouple (K, J, T) and RTD (Pt100) inputs, making it ideal for diverse temperature measurement applications. You can easily select the appropriate sensor for your process, ensuring accurate readings across a broad measuring range from -40C to 1100C, suitable for various industrial setups.
Flexible and Precise Control ModesChoose between advanced PID auto-tuning and straightforward ON/OFF control to optimize your process needs. The PID mode offers automatic adjustment for highly stable temperature management, while the ON/OFF mode simplifies control for less critical applications. This adaptability helps maximize process efficiency and product quality.
Robust Housing with Enhanced ProtectionConstructed from ABS flame-retardant material, the device features a panel mounting design with locking clips for secure installation. The front panel carries an IP54 rating, protecting against dust and splashes, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its compact 4848110 mm dimensions facilitate easy integration into standard panels.
FAQs of DIGITAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLLES:
Q: How does the Digital Temperature Controller maintain stable temperature readings?
A: Stability is achieved through PID auto-tuning control, which dynamically adjusts output to maintain precise temperature setpoints. The controller samples data three times per second and provides ON/OFF selectable control for simpler applications, ensuring consistent temperature regulation.
Q: What sensor types are compatible with this controller?
A: The unit supports Thermocouple types K, J, T, and RTD (Pt100) sensors, allowing users to select based on measurement range and environment requirements. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide array of industrial processes.
Q: Where is the recommended location for installing the temperature controller?
A: It is designed for panel mounting using locking clips for stability. Ideally, install it in a clean, accessible area with ambient temperature between 0C and 50C. The IP54-rated front panel protects against dust and moisture, making it suitable for factory and laboratory settings.
Q: What is the process for setting parameters and control modes?
A: Users can easily set parameters and select control modes using the front keys located on the devices standard panel mount interface. The controller retains all settings in non-volatile memory, ensuring reliable operation even after power interruptions.
Q: What are the advantages of using a relay or SSR driver output?
A: Relay (SPST) output enables straightforward switching for heating/cooling loads, while the SSR driver output offers silent, rapid switching for solid-state relays. This enhances reliability and supports applications with frequent switching demands.
Q: When is the alarm feature beneficial and how is it used?
A: The alarm function, with adjustable high/low setpoints, is valuable for processes requiring strict temperature limits. It alerts operators when temperatures deviate from safe ranges, helping prevent equipment damage or product spoilage.
