The New C-Series

Future Design Controls Multi-Color LCD display C-Series set a new standard for DIN temperature controllers packed with performance to meet low cost OEM needs while providing reliable High Performance temperature and process control with 3-Year Warranty.

 

C-Series Panel Mount Sizes

The C-Series is available in 1/32 DIN C22, 1/16 DIN C62, 1/8 DIN C82/83, 1/4 DIN C42 and R22 DIN Rail Mount. The 1/8 DIN are available as vertical and horizontal while the R22 is a DIN rail mount control perfect for high density single loop control requirements.

 

Ease of Use:

The multi-color LCD display, configurable space for output annunciation, PID % output, count down timer or Profile information provide operators with an ease of use not found in this class of instruments. In addition the SEL function provides additional flexibility & operator ease of use by allowing configuring those parameters significant to the operator [up to 8] to display in sequence when the scroll key is depressed.  [P, I, D,  Shift, Cycle 1, deadband, etc., or nothing displayed].

 

Input Resolution and Auto Tune:

With the highest input resolution for like products, fast scan rate and proprietary Fuzzy Logic Auto Tune the C-Series provides world-class control performance.

 

Control Outputs:

Dependent upon model the C-Series is available with up 4 control outputs which can be configured up to 2 PID or 1 PID with 3 alarm or event combinations, In addition optional Serial Modbus, Retransmission, Remote Setpoint, configurable Event inputs, CT inputs and more.

 

Alarm Configuration:

Configurable Alarm Logic includes process, deviation and deviation band, all with Latching, non-Latching and Alarm Hold and individually configurable time delay to minimize nuisance alarms. There is also an alarm Timer function to allow a configured count down timer to begin when the alarm is activated; the display may be configured to show the time remaining.

 

Ramp to Setpoint:

All models include a configurable Ramp Rate to setpoint in degrees per minute or hour.

 

Profile (Ramp Soak):

The 1/8 and 1/4 DIN C82/83 and C42 offer Profile ramp/soak function supporting up to 16 steps. Configurable as 1 profiles with 16-steps, 2 profiles with 8 steps each or 4 profiles with 4 steps each. Outputs other than output #1 may be configured as event outputs.

 

Manual Loading Station: Instead of being used as a PID control the 100 & C Series may be configured as a Manual Loading Station to provide easy method to manually control a linear output. The single display C Series are the most popular models for Manual Stations. Additional information can be found at: Loop Controls Manual Loading Station.pdf

 

OEM or Distributor Private Branding is available.
