Features
Heater current monitoring
A current transformer input provides display of the heater current and a health check on the load. Heater diagnostics including full and partial open circuit, and short circuit are displayed as scrolling alarm messages as well as providing an alarm output. The front panel ammeter displays the heater current.
Setpoint programmer
Heat treatment profiles can be programmed using the 8-segment programmer. Holdback ("guaranteed soak") can be used at the beginning of each segment. A digital event output can be triggered in any segment to initiate actions within the process.
Custom text messaging
Custom messages can be created with Eurotherm iTools and downloaded to the controller to display when an event, alarm or process condition occurs. This provides the operator with good visibility of the status of the process.
Recipes
Using Eurotherm iTools, recipes can be created that may be used to change the operating parameters of the controller simply by selecting a new recipe using the HMI or digital input. This is very useful where multiple products are processed using the same controller but require different parameters to be set.
Timer
An internal timer is configurable as an interval timer, delay timer, or to provide a soft start for hot runner control.
Setpoint transmission
Sending the setpoint or other parameters from the controller to slave devices can be achieved either by using conventional analog communications or using Master Modbus communications. Master Modbus in the controller allows a broadcast of a single parameter to the network. A typical application is a setpoint being retransmitted to a number of slave controllers in a multi-zone furnace.
Modbus communication
Supports both EIA232 and 2-wire EIA485 communications using the Modbus protocol.
Configuration adaptor
Eurotherm iTools configuration to the controller can be achieved by using a USB configuration adaptor. It provides Eurotherm iTools with the ability to communicate with and configure devices without the need for any power being connected.
iTools wizard
Used to simplify the set up of the controller. The wizard guides the user through the configuration process with interactive help and graphical demonstrations of features.
