DESCRIPTION
The universal temperature controller
KS 50-1 is intended for universal,
precise, and cost-effective control tasks
in all branches of industry. For this, the
unit provides simple 2-point (on/off)
control, continuous PID control, or
3-point stepping control. The process
value signal is connected via a universal
input. A supplementary analog input can
be used for heating current
measurement or as an external set-point
input.
Every KS 50-1 has three process outputs
that can be 3 relays or 2 relays plus a
universal output. This universal output
can be used for operating a solid-state
relay, a continuous current/voltage
output or to energize a two-wire
transmitter. Optionally there are two
additional opto coupler outputs.
The selectable function „start-up“
ensure increased lifetime of
high-performance electrical heating
elements (e.g. hot runner moulds).
Plug-in module
KS 50-1 controllers are built as plug-in
modules. This enables them to be
replaced very quickly without tools, and
without disturbing the wiring.
Self-tuning during start-up and to the
setpoint
This new function determines the
optimum settings for fast line-out
without overshoot. With three-point
controller configuration, the „cooling“
parameters are determined separately,
thus ensuring an optimum match to the
process. By pushing a button the
KS 50-1 determines the best control
parameters at the actual setpoint. This
function does not require oscillation, and
performs a minimal deviation of the
process value.
Display and operation
Clear information are given by ten
indicator LEDs in the front panel that
display operating mode, I/O states, and
errors. The
Ò
-key switches the
controller into the manual mode directly.
If required, the direct switch over can be
disabled or the key can be configured
e.g. reset the latched alarms. By the
flexibly applicable function key an
external switch can be omitted in many
cases, because one can start now e.g.
the boost function directly.
Front interface and Engineering Tools
Control parameter adjustment in
seconds has now also been
implemented in the KS 50 class of
instruments. Via the BlueControl
