Key Features and Application Versatility
The DIGITRIC 500 controller performs reliable PID regulation for temperature, pressure, or flow. Its built-in autotune function automatically calculates optimal PID parameters. The device also provides alarm outputs for high/low limit warnings or process deviations. Moreover, its universal input accepts various sensor types without external transmitters. Therefore, it is ideal for applications in plastic extrusion, packaging machinery, and heat treatment ovens.
Application Context and Typical Use
Engineers deploy this controller for tasks requiring precise and stable setpoint maintenance. For example, it can regulate the temperature of an industrial furnace or a chemical reactor. The 61615-0-1200000 variant typically includes specific input/output combinations. Users select the exact model based on their sensor type and required output signal. Thus, it offers a cost-effective standalone solution for non-networked process loops.
Installation and Configuration Process
First, prepare a standard DIN cutout in the control panel door for the device. Next, wire the process sensor, power supply, and final control element (e.g., heater, valve) to the terminal blocks. Then, use the front panel keys to configure the input type, setpoint, and PID parameters. Finally, initiate the autotune function to allow the controller to optimize its performance for the specific process.
