Omron’s new E5_N-H series has taken the proven E5_N to the next level of process control while keeping the same ease of installation and operation along with the menu structure. The new series features improved accuracy, speed and process control features.
Faster input sampling and control period: this gives faster, more precise heater control in rapidly changing, disturbance-sensitive applications.
PV colour change: this provides crystal-clear process status, even from a distance and without the need for interpreting the values. When one of the heaters is not at set-point the PV can change colour to alert any member of staff (detecting a bad seal at an early stage, for example).
Loop break alarm and sensor break alarm: in plastics production the tool used to make the product is changed fairly often. Frequent reconnecting of the sensor or heater can result in a wire break (a broken thermocouple, for example). These alarms quickly detect such problems in the process.
Basic 2-step programming: in any thermal processes (food, brick, pottery etc,) a small element of timing is required. This feature enables users to ramp up to a set-point and set the dwell time period. At the end of this time, the process stops or continues with an indication alarm to alert the operator. With this feature, a fixed minimum or maximum curing/baking time is assured in a smooth, controlled way.
