Temperature Measurement


Controller offers unsurpassed temperature accuracy

August 2001 Temperature Measurement

Meeting demands for the highest accuracy in temperature control, Temperature Controls is offering a controller designed for applications where ultra-precise control is required.

The high resolution REX F9000 temperature controller has been specifically designed for applications where precise control to three decimal places (0,001°C) is required. Easy-to-use, the F9000 offers versatile functions such as dual loop control, bargraph display, auto-tuning, communications, analog outputs and contact inputs.

The controller combines a wide range of features with optimum PID values for fast, accurate response to process changes for maximum control performance. Primary uses include semiconductor manufacture and high accuracy laboratory applications or any other application necessitating very accurate temperature control over an input range of 0 to 50°C.

The device constantly monitors the electrical load through a dedicated transformer. It then adjusts PID outputs relative to power supply fluctuations to prevent sudden load output changes to the electrical heating elements.

With conventional PID control, there is a conflict between control stability and quick response; response to set point change might be compromised when stability is improved, and stability might be compromised when quick response to SV change is achieved. RKC's Brilliant PID retains optimum PID values for stability whilst enabling a choice of control response between 'fast', 'medium', and 'slow'. 'Fast' is set when a quick response is necessary and 'slow' is set to avoid overshooting.

RKC is marketed and supported in southern Africa by Temperature Controls.
