RKC's SR Mini System has recently been launched by Temperature Controls. This DIN-Rail mounted multiloop temperature control system will be on show and demonstrated at Electrex 2002.
This product consists of block-type compact modules that can easily be configured, customised and changed according to demand. The SR Mini System provides easy connection with scada, PLC or PC-based control systems through ANSI X3.28 protocol.
The system enables flexible multizone temperature control of up to 320 loops with simple connection to RKC touch screen operation panels without programming. The SR Mini is designed with low profile modules that measure only 24 x 96 x 100 mm, which is approximately the size of a 3,5" floppy disk.
Consisting of a power supply/CPU module and up to ten function modules, each function module offers two zones of PID temperature control (the heat/cool zones use a double-width module). Up to 16 SR Mini units connected offer a maximum 320 zones of temperature control that can be linked to an operation panel or a PC as one system.
The DIN rail mounting permits SR Mini modules to be quickly installed on the DIN rail inside a machine control panel, so the system can be easily expanded without changing panel cutouts. The system offers RS232C and RS485 communications interface for operator interface, computers, PLCs and ANSI X3.28 protocol. The standard SR Mini temperature control modules use RKC's Brilliant PID, which utilises an enhanced I-PD algorithm with two-degrees-of-freedom enabling optimum response to operation upsets.
With a serial PC connection, SR Mini can be monitored and operated from a remote location. PC accessibility makes the unit well suited for factory automation applications, data acquisition and SPC/SQC analysis.
