Compact controller has brilliant display
March 2009
PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
The easy to operate JUMO cTRON control series consists of three freely configurable, universal compact controllers in a DIN format for controlling temperature, pressure and other physical quantities either as in switching or continuous mode.
The two high-visibility LED displays are legible from any angle and feature flexible functional diversity, such as blinking text display or automatic switching of target and time values when the timer is started. In addition, seven LEDs show different switching positions such as manual operation, ramp function and timer operation.
The basic model features: self-optimisation; ramp function; manual operation; power on delay; two limit comparators; extensive timer functions and a service counter. The front panel keys are used for configuration; alternatively, the set-up program can be used to save time and obviate errors. Each device has a freely configurable, universal measurement input for the resistance thermometer, thermal element and object signals.
The cTRON is equipped with two relay outputs, a binary input and a logic output as well as a set-up interface. All types can be expanded by a further relay or analogue output and an optional RS485 port.
Connection is via shockproof, pluggable screw terminals to ensure quick assembly or replacement of the devices.
