This enables systems to be implemented integrating the process control and logic functions of a machine - simplifying system complexity and reducing total system costs.Ĭonfiguration is achieved either via the front panel interface of using the iTools configuration software. It is a highly configurable product offering many features previously only found in programmable logic controllers (PLC).
Its user interface incorporates a bright dot matrix display, providing extreme flexibility and ease of use. Graphical soft wiring - easy to be creative and find solutions to complex problems.Application specific functions - simplifying complex applications.Feature rich - more than just a temperature controller.Flexible I/O - meets many diverse requirements.High performance measurement - the best in class control.The 2604 is available with powerful preprogrammed applications such as melt pressure and carbon potential. The 2604 is available with high speed Modbus® RTU, DeviceNet™ and Profibus®-DP (in the 'f' version) digital communications. Configuration is by the front panel or via iTools. Using internal Toolkit blocks, including timers and totalizers, customized user configurations and special machine control applications can be created. The advanced control algorithm and gain scheduling gives straight line control, even in difficult non-linear applications and automatic tuning simplifies commissioning.Ī setpoint programming option allows storage of up to 50 programs (500 segments, 16 digital events, gauranteed dwell, holdback) and each can profile up to three setpoints. Direct connection of Zirconia probes is also supported for carbon potential control in atmospheric combustion applications (heat treatment industry). It employs universal inputs (TC, RTD, DC) with INSTANT ACCURACY™. Test chambers, autoclaves, kilns, furnaces, forehearths.High speed ModBus®, DeviceNet™ and Profibus® communications.PID, valve, ratio, cascade and override control.
Modbus RTU serial communications is also supported.Ī free PC based backup and configuration tool uses a USB connection, powering the instrument from the USB interface for convenient desktop configuration. Ethernet communications are supported via a standard RJ45 connector, providing fast access to process and diagnostic information as well as connectivity to external PLC or plant SCADA.
Different PID settings may be applied in different process operating regions for optimum performance.Ĭonnectivity and cybersecurity The EPC3000 Ethernet enabled controller range is Eurotherm's first to be designed and certified to meet the stringent cybersecurity requirements of Achilles® Communications Robustness Testing Level 1. Rapid rise to operating temperature and low oscillation aids high process throughput at low scrap rates. The industry leading Eurotherm PID algorithm delivers fast reacting and repeatable control and has been enhanced for EPC3000 to further reduce overshoot. Recalibration and user calibration correction functions are available to further improve accuracy. The EPC3000 range of programmable single loop process and temperature controllers maximizes efficiency and repeatability and is certified for cyber security communications robustnessĪccuracy and repeatability Process inputs are fast and accurate, with exceptional thermal stability, aiding precise and consistent control over long periods without calibration drift. The OPC® Server can connect to remote instrumentation via the internet and read and write values to supervisory packages such as Wonderware® or LabVIEW™.EPC3000 Helping deliver an efficient and secure process
View builder allows creation of customized screens to provide a simple visualization of your process.
Terminal wiring dynamically maps the rear terminal panel setup to the current instrument configuration. The Graphical Wiring Editor uses a simple ‘drag and drop’ graphical interface to simplify the configuration of 3500, Mini8 controller, 26. It is capable of editing, storing and ‘cloning’ complete controller configurations as well as setting up data logging, process monitoring and Ethernet and modem connections.
It also provides runtime monitoring of the 6000 Series graphic recorders.
