The DPCfront Monitor temperature control device is designed as a control device with special functions: heating current monitoring, external setpoint switching and communication through RS 485. It works in the factory setting as a PID control device
The DPCfront Monitor temperature control device is designed as a control device with special functions: heating current monitoring, external setpoint switching and communication through RS 485. It works in the factory setting as a PID control device with a logic output and a relay output. As an alternative, the same device can also be used as a ON/OFF control device. The device is used to regulate a logic output for solid state relays. The relay output is used for alarm signalling. In addition a digital input can be used to choose between different setpoints. The high and low alarm function, sensor monitoring, heating circuit monitoring and heating current monitoring offer additional safety for temperature regulation. When using the device with the factory setting, a simple setup is used for putting into operation for the first time. For example the setpoint, analog output limits, heating currents, low alarm, and if desired, the high alarm must be set.
