The Watlow Anafaze CPC400 controllers provide performance and
flexibility in a compact design and integrate full-featured closed-loop
control with user-written logic. Programmable logic can interact with
closed-loop control and operate I/O independently.
Four and eight loop versions offer complete control solutions for a broad
range of applications. The CPC400 supports thermocouples, RTD's, Linear
voltage, current and frequency. Built-in diagnostics automatically detect
sensor failures including open, shorted and reversed conditions. I/O can
also be utilized for closed loop control, alarms and user programs.
Using the built-in communications port, system designers can interface one
or more controllers to a host computer for operator controls and data
acquisition. The CPC400 offers PID, cascade, ratio and differential
control strategies. Process variable retransmit and remote analog set
point
can be used to integrate the CPC400 with other devices such as chart
recorders.
The CPC400 carries the CE mark and UL® approved. |
